if you want people to really help you'll need to provide all the information of your grow plus post photos in natural light EG with out your grow light on
room temps and humidity ?
what do you feed your plants and @ what ec or ppm plus how often do you water ?
what medium are you growing in ?
what light are you using plus hanging height ?
what is your ph
do you use tap rain or RO water ?
answer that 1st and its more likely a professional grower can come help you

How big is your tent?
And please take pics under white lights. I can’t tell anything from this orange hue.
did your lights just turn on or did you take the photos just before lights out
kind of looks like they are going to sleep and maybe over watered . 20 inch is close for a 1000w even with air cooled hoods. just guessing but you're probably pushing way past how much light a plant can use with out needing co2. maybe back your lights off to 28 inch
even in soil you will need to feed it ether by top dressing or using some other sort of organic nutrients
defiantly need more photos

Is it ok to bend over the tops or super crop 7 days into flower and put em under a trellis? Im am for sure going to have a hight issue they just started to stretch..
you can put it in a scrog net now i have done that before but its annoying and you will stress the plant and possible lose any stretch you will get. any stress put on the plant in flower can reduce yield .a better option might be to just tie down branches
plants tent to go droopy just before lights out and after they have been watered
the claw is a saying people use to describe a nitrogen overdose or toxicity what could be part of your problem but with out seeing the real color of your leaves its impossible to know
what sort of soil are you using. did you buy it or get it from your back yard. id say never get it from your back yard unless you like bugs
super crop is a topic of its own but i say hell no that's a last resort for me also i find it never works as the branches like to stand back up with in a few days plus the amount of damage you put on the branch is unnecessary when a bit of string will do a better job of keeping the branches pulled down

what size are your containers? they look like they're curling down more than drooping, but it could be underwatering--how long does it take for them to get light enough for you to water?
without being able to see the color of the leaves, its a little hard to weigh in on whether its a nitrogen tox. issue. They could be rootbound and underwatered though--that would produce some downward curling.

I am running into the same problem. MY one plant seems to drink alot faster than her sisters .. gets dried out alot quicker .. and takes at least 4-5 hours after lights are on for all the leaves to pop up from the droop ..
its like I am over watering her .. then befor I get home she drys out completely. Same look and behavior as yours.
