Plants are drooping?

Two of my plants started drooping today and they are drooping really bad. They are about 28 days old from seed, they were watered three days ago and the soil is pretty dry but not dry enough that I need to water. On one of the two its still still got more water than the other.

What could be causing this?

Let me know if you need pictures.

I'll post pictures tomorrow. Does anyone else have any ideas? I can't have these plants die I need to finish them before I start chemo.

The drainage in the pots is fine.

are you checking the ph of your water? if it's too high or two low, you might have nute lock-out... pics will help though.

Yes, i'm checking the pH of the water.

Here are some pics, when i woke up this morning they were looking better.

But now they are looking much worse, on one of them the leaves are practically hanging vertically. What should I do? it looks like they are gonna die soon if i don't do something...

they don't look so bad, i think they'll be alright :) . if they changed so much between morning and afternoon, i'm guessing it's either a water issue (too much or too little) or a heat issue (too hot or too cold). good luck bro.

Not too cold.

But they changed so fast for the worse, still don't worry about it? Did you see how the leaves are drooping really bad on the last two pics?

yeah man, i'm not an expert, but the one time my plants looked like that, they were dry and watering them really perked them up. i'm guessing it's either too dry or too hot or both.

I just watered one of them with straight pH water, because if its a water problem then it has too be too little because there is no way its too much.

It is like 88 in there now, usually only 84 but there are other plants that are not looking like that at all.

i had a plant that went through epic drooping.Ithought my buckets were big enough to go through the whole grow.Instead i had to transplant them to bigger pots.could this be the problem?what type of pots are you using?sounds like rootbound to me

They are in 1gallon pots, just transplanted them into those 2 weeks ago from solo cups. Its a possibility though, I'll buy some bigger pots and give it a try.

And the last time I fed them was 4 days ago.

Actually those are less than 1 gallon, probably 2/3rds of a gallon.

Sorry I can't edit, on a blackberry and for some reason it won't let me edit so I have to double post.

The soil dries out fast because of the light, its over 80 degrees with like 30% humidity. So a lot of it is evaporation, its not necessarily the plant using all the water if that's what your saying.

Its not time to repot. I think a good damb watering will help. The leaves are dark so N seems ok. Are the pots lite?
