do u let the soil dry out ? or are u constantly watering every few days to keep the soil nice around? if u dont let the soil dry out "almost to the point where the might get stressed" then u could be sufficating the roots . i have no idea tho

ive got the same problem with mine, they grow like hell but are pretty much 24/7 droopy past week 2-3, its because u dont have enough light if i had to guess. That's the "problem", i don't really consider it a problem, with mine because as soon as they go into the stronger lights they perk up and stay that way unless they need water

This also seems logical to me considering the lack of info/ pic. Is air flowing in the room, or is it not moving in your grow room? :leaf:

I think you just need to be patient and see what happens. Don't worry about the droopy leaves. If they start to die and fall off, you have something wrong. But if not, you're good to go.

400w HPS in a 2x4 closet with 2 dwarf plants I have way more light than I need..

I have a cooling fan for my HPS that moves the leaves like a light breeze, there is a whole journal in my sig..

Hit em with a 1/4 or even a 1/8 nute mix. I switched from FFOF to sunshine mix #4 and found myself feeding a week earlier than before.. Good luck, smoke well..

No such thing as a NOOB question. Strains change, phenos react different, climates change, circumstances change. A ? is a ?. no need for a backlash, just a answer!

Make sure that the soil has some perlite in this will give the roots the oxegean that your plants need.Are the stems of the plants coulouring or the leaves yellowing up if so then the plants will need a little more feed.But i would flush the plants with some water ph it at around 5.5/6.0 this should remove any excess nutrient build up that will cause salt to remain in the grow medium.When you are watering the plants let them dry and i mean realy dry never add nutrients to realy dry plants best to moisten the soil with some water ph of above then follow this a hour or so later with some water with nutrients in then repeat the processs and let the plant dry try watering once a week.

Once a week is too long for any hps.

...first thing to check. Lights, if your not providing enough light to the lower or sides of the ladies, get some they will droop.....flos for cheap light exposure. Air movement, one fan up high, one fan down low will stop this. In soil, if your not letting your plants dryout inbetween waterings this can happen also. Humidity can be too low. I'm sure you've probably considered all of my mentioned, correct? If so, I've heard it said that root issues can cause this also.
