Definitely give them some time. When your pH starts fluctuating, your plants can't take up nutrients as easily. This is why you're seeing the yellowing, which is a deficiency. Like SICC said, once the pH stabilizes and your little babies get comfortable, they'll start shooting up like crazy! 
well here's some bs... I bought this pH meter: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-pH-Meter-Tester-Hydroponics-pH-Mesure-Testeur-Y_W0QQitemZ360192289207QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item53dd2229b7&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 and I've been using it since day 1. Well I bought some buffer solution out of curiosity and it was out about 1.5 pH. So this whole time thinking my pH was 5.7 it's been 7.2. How often do you guys use buffer solution? Should I keep it on nutes or switch to fresh water since this whole time it's probably been pH problems?
[QUOTE="SICC";3177400]Well they look fine, just flush the rez and refill with fresh pH'd water[/QUOTE]
Ok. Since the guides say not to add nutes until the 2nd week and I already have because the yellowing looked like it was due to lack of nutes, should I wait until the 2 week mark to add nutes again? It would be Monday so only two days.

If you're using the AG nutes, then that would be an OK idea. But with the GH nutes or similar products, follow their schedule. I used nutrients from the day I say green coming out of the sponge.
I'm using the GH nutes. Thanks a lot man +rep

I would wait til they reach around four weeks old to top.

They look beautiful. Very lush and green. You're doing great.
I'm still not sure about the drooping. Give it some time, we'll see if anyone else has some input on this.
So I'm thinking maybe it's the heat coming off the CFL's so I relocated them. I positioned them differently so they aren't directly over them but are still covering them well. I'll see what that does. I can't wait to get my tent this closet isn't cutting it. It'll be here monday!
