Idk about over fed they’ve been in that soil
For a while all composted organic. I’ll give them water see what happens

I don’t see any discolouration in the leafs that would infer a PH problem. There is no burning around the leaves so I don’t think he has nute burn. Could be temps. And could be over watering. I water about once a week on my 5 gallon right now. Give it a nice wet and dry cycle.

I was also wondering about the heat in room. I have learned the difference in canopy heat and room heat.MAKE a big difference. The laser thermometer someone recommended to be was a big help.For checking heat in different location in the room.

You are correct. I wonder what he’s growing under. I know my tents stay around 23-25C under a 400 watt MH. But directly under the light is much higher. So the plants directly under the light are getting much more heat which would require the light going up.

He’s dealing with a watering issue or environment issue. Looking at the leafs there appears to be no blemishes or signs of yellow, burning, browning, etc.

Looks very underwatered. Leaf color is good. Leaves don’t have that overwater look that surely would come with such dramatic droop. That’s more of a limp look and notice on far right now top leaves haven’t fell yet. It’s started from the bottom up. Underwater badly if I had to take just one guess

I also notice no catch basin for water. I have found better luck with those planting bags if I let the water stand and absorb from bottom. Takes a little more work I just wait about 15 mins after water. ( have a bowl or 2 ) Then I go and get all the left over water out with a shop vacuum.. Just something to think about.

Even in that poor lighting I can tell the soil is dry on top. I bet it’s bone dry more than a few inches down too. Water it asap

One if the reasons it's underwatered is the pot to too small. There's not enough soil around the root zone to retain moisture long enough for uptake to occur.

They need water this plants the bigger they get you need to increase water not as same as they were small pluse heat and humidity level will require you to adjust your watering amount and how many days between watering

Seems like a no brainer to figure out. Stick your finger in the dirt. Is it wet, or dry? How heavy are the pots? My advice would be if it's dry water it, if it's wet let it dry out.

This is how my girls look after3-4 days without water then i usually wait another day to water them. Ive read that drought stress can be good for plant growth and it seems they have growspurts after each feeding. but this can be a symptom of many things. I water about 1L per plant with full strength nutes with 30%ish runoff until ph!6.5 in soil.
