Week 5 flower, unknown bag seed. 5 Gal pots. Watered 2 days ago so I’m confused as to what the hell is going on!
Why do all my leaves look like this?!?

They look over watered

The clawing and convex leaves mean too much nitrogen.

I backed off on nutes, all they are getting is RO water and cal mag.

Sorry meant to attach this to the last reply, I meant that’s all they have been getting since veg nutes 6 weeks ago.

No this is a trying to get the best I can out of what I was given type of thing. They got veg nutes but when I got them for flower I have not added any bloom. Cal mag is 4ml per gallon. I’m using Mother Earth soil. Maybe just back off and just RO water?

I would just keep doing what you're doing but maybe cut the calmag in half or 4ml every other water.
Your plants look healthy for the most part but you might need to feed them later when/if your soil nutrients deplete before harvest.

Overwatering/roots not getting enough oxygen

Thanks y’all. I will do that. This is my first try at this so mistakes are obvious lol. My next grow will be from seed to harvest so maybe I can set those girls up for better success.

I wondered that being in 5 Gal buckets

I run 5g cloth pots.
I keep a oscillating fan on, pointed at the cloth pots too.

As a noobie I've been trying to figure out the best way for airflow, I have 2 4inch clip fans right now, I have one that points down towards the bottom of the light itself and top of canopy, the other is blowing air from my intake hole underneath the 2 buckets. I also have a fan/carbon filter exhausting the air. Am I doing that right?

I think your right brother, lights just turned on and they are already looking way better. Still slightly drooped but i'd say 75% better

If I drilled more holes into the buckets, would that make any significant impact for the o2 absorption? Or is it too late in the game for something like that?

If I were you, I’d make sure to have plenty holes in the bottom and most importantly try and lift it up off the ground to allow airflow and the runoff to freely flow. I keep my cloth pots off the ground. On a rack that I can collect run off without ever moving the plant if that makes since

I run 2 clip fans underneath lights blowing on the canopy.
1 tower oscillating fan underneath canopy/ side of cloth pot.
Exhaust/carbon filter is good. Everything seems good
I’m thinking that the medium is just staying too wet too long with possible overwatering.
Try allowing better runoff flow if you don’t have many holes in the bottom of your buckets. You could drill the holes this late.
Try not to drill too deep.
It won’t kill it

Yeah man I hate that I used 5 gal buckets, my next run is going to be fabric pots. I'm going to drill various holes throughout the buckets tonight. I'm noticing the drooping is still there. I'm seeing some fan leaves turn yellow now, that equals deficiency correct? If so my next watering add some of the bloom nutes, just half dosages maybe?

The yellowing depends on what part of the plant it’s happening to.
If it’s on the bottom part, it’s just taking in the rest of the nitrogen it has left.
Top part could mean many things.
A picture is worth more than anything I’m saying tbh.
The picture you uploaded, those plants don’t look bad, just probably lacking a little o2
If I were you, I’d just continue feeding the amount you have been.
Maybe up the N slightly, if that’s what’s causing the yellowing (need pic).
Once you get the drooping problem solved, do as you said with half bloom.
