first legit grow. 1st week into flower have leaf wilting.

Hello all, this is my first legit grow, and everything has been going really smooth. I started with four northern lights seeds has a little experiment. They grew and so did my investments with the little gals.
Im using the whole basic fox farm line. Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, and Grow Big. WIth the adition of Bud Candy. I was skeptical to get the bud candy but had friends who had good results.
But down to the problem, ok.
I started the bud candy with foilage spray instead of watering through the soil.
I think this may be the cause...any advice..
Ohh and this is my 2nd week into flowering.

They look healthy, just a bit overwatered. Let them dry out a bit more before you water. I wouldn't spray them, now they're in flower - doing so can increase your risk of mold.
 
yea i've done some looking into it and i guess ill let them dry out before i water them again.
I did start the bud candy on full strength too i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Ill post more pics....i have another one that is looking very bushy..i lst and i think its going to have 10 colas.

you can not foliar feed with bud candy. it has a lot of cane sugar and molasses as well as extracts in it that will cause leaf respiration to grind to a halt. i would wash them off with distilled water about an hour or so before the light comes back on. and continue with the bud candy at a teaspoon and a half per gallon. besides the droopyness of the leaves the plants look healthy. hope that helped.

Thanks man after i saw droopyness i sprayed them really well with a whole bottle of water. Still droopy but ill continue to foilage spray until i see improvments. I've been using 1 teaspoon per gallon but ill up it next water.
Thanks for the input fellas, its gonn a really help my lady's.
Ohh yea the reason its so bushy is because i tryed to scrog it but them changed my mind so
