I am a first-time grower... I'm growing in a 4 x 4 tent with 1000 watt HPS light. I have 2 6in duct fans plus a rotating clip fan. I use Happy frog soul and 5 gallon fabric pots for my plants as well as the Fox Farm minerals every other feeding. I am on week 3 day 5 of veg and my Mad man OG is beginning to droop and some leaves are curling. I only water twice a week (one gallon)... I usually wait until the soil is dry up to my first knuckle and the bottom of the pot has also dried. HELP ME PLEASE!! 1466133552419-73275878.jpg 1466133728888-185584986.jpg 1466133766660996479262.jpg

I was thinking the same thing those plants look awesome. Are you setting pH the same when watering with nutrients versus just watering? If not just make sure to do that.

To be honest I haven't done anything as far as checking PH....I use tap water, Fox farm nutes and happy frog soil

Temps are usually 70 after lights have been off and usually around 80-85 with lights on.....humidity stays around 35-40% with lights on and can reach up to 60% after light are off.

About right then. IMO your plants look pretty healthy from what I can tell with the hps lighting.

They droop just before lights out and stay that way for about an hour after the lights come back on. If that's what you're talking about then it's normal.

I would say blow a fan on them to strengthen the stems but if they're drooping then its not a good idea. Are you sure you're giving them enough water? If you plant from a small pot to a larger one that inner core or root mass could be drying out faster than the surrounding soil.

It is important to set pH the same when you are rotating between water and with a nutrient solution because the pH will almost definitely differ. This is known as pH fluctuation by the way
