getting kinda worried here

ok so i got home last night and noticed the plant was looking a bit droopy, i then noticed that someone watered it while i was gone, which normally wouldnt be a problem but they used my fertilizer water instead of the plain tap water, it was not supposed to be fertilized yet. i noticed this am that it was looking very droopy, i worried that maybe it was over fertilized so i flushed it, turns out my new soil isnt the best for flushing and its been slowly draining for a while now, and now its looking really bad, im thinking it might be because of all the water still draining out of the pot but i want some opinions before i decide to just wait it out instead of taking action. Thanks allot guys i really appreciate it! btw its a few weeks into flowering and i recently transplanted it into what i have it it now.

Looks like the girls are wanting more light,my 400w mh lamp makes the tips of the plant grow vertical
also the more light you offer to the plant than the more nutes it will drink too

I would freakout if I came home to find that someone was or had messed with my plants. Big problem.:shock:
well my fiance lives with me and my brother as well (not for much longer he will be out in a week and ill have more room for my babies) but yea i was pissed especially cause of how it looks now, do yall think it will be ok? it seems to be getting a little better but not all of it yet, some of it is still very droopy, i also noticed i snapped a great bud spot off when i was moving it from the bathroom (to water and let drain) back to the grow room, that shouldnt cause the rest of the plant any problems right?

1 person should tend to your plants, unless you ask them to. These things won't happen.
I tried to grow with a friend at his house. I told him once a week we feed the plant and he thought like every other noob thought "If I feed it everyday, it will grow faster" Never tried to grow with him again.

I would let the soil dry quite a bit. You may drown the plant if you keep flushing with poor drainage.

I always take a clipping or 2 before flowering, you have a big jump start on you next plant and you know its a girl.

GOOD LUCK and Happy Thanksgiving

You need less people involved in your grow, and more light bulbs.
how many more do you think ill need if im adding only more of those 40w CFL (2600lumens) atm i only have this one plant going but after its done flowering im going to try for 4 from random seeds unfortunately so i wont know anything about them including,obviously, the sex of the pant so i could easily end up with only 2 in the end.

Your plants look just fine by the pictures, maybe need more light as others are saying. From what I've learned, you may want to be careful flushing when using soil. Depending on the type of soil you have, flushing can cause even more nutrients to be released to the plants, possibly making the problem worse.

How many CFLs are you using by the way? Total amount of wattage..and how are they placed around your plants?

i did say this earlier on but im running a 175 watt MH , and two 40w (2600lumens each) CFL bulbs, the MH is above the plant, and i have one cfl on the left of the plant, and the other on the right (in a closet) i rotate the pant a few times a day, to make sure the whole thing gets some light, if i were to add more CFLs id suspend them on the other sides of the plant. and im sorry i dont know the lumenso n the MH i have, i got it for cheap, it was used for a fish tank before, its a piece of shit but i found it on craigs list and its all i could afford for now.

Check your pH if you can & let them dry out a bit you should be fine. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

You dont need alot of room, for 1 clipping you could really use a large box with a single CFL.

Plants tend to droop after bein watered, plant looks fine tho just let the soil dry out , more light wouldn't hurt either
