Leaves are droopy during flowering

Hello!

I am currently in the middle of flower w/ a Royal Queen Northern light. I'm using a 400w Metal Halide bulb with 125cfm exhaust in the ceiling and an oscillating fan running too. The plants are in Happy Frog soil and I am using FloraNova (General Hydroponics). I am feeding them around 7-8ml of FloraNova Bloom every three waterings.

Im roughly 3.5 weeks into flowering and one of my plants is ALWAYS droopy and the leaves look kinda small and shriveled. I have also noticed a lot of yellow leaves beginning to form and I know it's very common in flowering plants, I feel like mine are experiencing it much more.

P.H seems to be fine... Perhaps overnute? Undernute? Underwater? Overwater? I don't know what it is. Perhaps by looking at these pictures you can help!

Maybe I should give her a nice flush today?

Thanks!

If you are sure it has some water then checking for overwater is easy.
Stop watering it and see if it perks up.

If its underwater it should perk up within a few hours of a good watering.


if that dont work try flushing it.
I just use my tap water
but I also know my soil is well balanced
and will adjust the ph on its own within reason.

If after you have done those thing it dont perk up let us know.

If one of those things does work please
let us know and we can make suggestions as to how to procede with
nutes etc.

Also check temp n humidity.
A little 24 hour hi low rh digital meter
is very helpful and cheap.

Actually I will save you some time.

Go flush it with a few gallons of slightly cool water and let it dry out until
the pot holds about 30%
moisture and I bet it will perk up.
Even if its overwatered now
this wont kill it
but do let it dry like I said.

The plants are in 4gal containers... I was thinking of flushing each with about 10-15 gallons of water but I was unsure if this was a good idea bc it may be overwatered already...

Then let them dry out

Top looks worse than the bottom, its not getting food when you feed. So your ec is prolly super high and your ph prolly super low from salts. 3-5 gals of unph'ed tap water for every gal of soil. And wait for soil to dry a Lil before feeding again. Half strength at like 6.8

Like I said the most direct way to address this is to flush.
A little more water wont kill them.

I just flushed with tap water... the last 3 gallons I phd it to about 7.0... I hope it works. I am going to let it dry a bit then add 7-8ml of FloraNova Bloom, probably around Monday-Wednesday.
