Any pictures? Might help? Sounds like they were over watered and starving of oxygen. Also what are your temps? Lighting choice and distance from lights?

it was the dynagrow, that shit is poison! throw it in the trash and go buy 19 bottles of advanced nutrients.

the plant was most likely sleeping, the leaves often appear to droop when the light source is weakened or removed. when the sun is out they will try to angle themselves towards it as best they can appearing to wake up again

Nice plant looks very healthy but over watered or poor drainage? If you haven't change your watering habits drastically and this hasn't been a problem before your soil may have be come compacted...one trick I have found to remedy the compaction is to use a hydrogen peroxide solution with plain water...it will fluff the soil back up and add oxygen in the process!! I wouldn't use it with nutes as the h2o2 will fee up a lot of nutes in the soil already and you want to avoid too high of a ppm...also I'd try to do this after the light cycle so the soil has time to adjust and to avoid ph fluctuations while the plants is up taking nutes!

Lol I was wondering the same thing...7-9-5 doesn't seem like a good match by itself. It's got good micro nutes but seems as though that npk ratio isn't appropriate. Never the less I do not believe it's causing the drooping.

Went out this morning...plant tops leaning over like crazy. Gave water and 10 mins later happy again.
Maybe time to repot? If so how do u even repot a plant already in a 15gal pot?

Hummm well I'd do the lift test...if your having watering issues every day it's either too compact or too loose. Is the pot heavy or light when you are having these issues?

Me either, and most people will tell you that you shouldn't water everyday. A lot of people wait two days between watering...sounds like you may not be watering enough or it's draining too quickly....hard to imagine a plant that size needing water every day?
