Its my first indoor grow. I water about every three days or so. I wait till the soil dry about an inch or two deep. I water till there is a lil run off out the bottom. Im growing GSC (back left) auto cheese ( back right) Purple trainwreck ( front left) and maui wowie (front right). Im in the northwest where its getting around mid 20s. So my question if im not overwatering could a too big of temperature difference between day and night cause droopy leaves?about 80 in day 57 at night. Any advice thanx.

Ideally, you will want a 10 degree difference between day and night temperatures. I noticed increased growth rates with higher night time temps. Your cookies looks like it's having a fit over something (cookies likes to do that). Make sure to be testing your runoff for pH and PPM's.
Thanx man im a figure something out for temps. Its getting pretty cold up here in the northwest. Last night it got down to 40 degrees in my tent before the light kicked on.

Oh man! Dude (assuming) that will kill your plants. You need to get temps up fast. What's your humidity like? Maybe you can slow your intake fan a bit and bring in less air, although with such cold intakes honestly man you may need to add a space heater.
I wish I had those problems! In later flower it will get easier if you start running a dehumidifier, as it will create plenty of heat. However it sounds like you'll be battling environment issues all year.
Such is the case with tent growing I suppose. Keep doing what you're doing, just make sure you get those night time temps ABOVE 60* at least. Ideally you will want them at 63 at the lowest IMO. 10 degree difference is your goal.
Thanx fn217 for all that great input. Im going to put my 8 inch intake fan on a timer to go on/off around my light to help control the night time temp. Keep an eye on it and if its still too cold ill invest in a space heater. Didnt know a dehumidifier would create enough heat, i might invest in that first sence that can also help with my drying/curing stage. Thanks again.

Well, I have never grown in a tent, and I only use large capacity dehumidifiers. I usually don't run them or run them only minimally at lights on because they do produce a lot of heat. I would imagine in an enclosed space, it would help a lot.
I thought this might help:
Good tips that I forgot to mention, such as running your lights at night.
