Drooping leaves?

Hey guys, first grow here.
I got a decent set up I think anyways, lol

I just transplanted into my grow room 3 days ago, the seedlings/ early growth are 3 weeks old now.
I have a 5Wx5Lx8T room that I built from scratch in my garage, ( I don't need to hide anything here), using a hydroponic system with 30 gal reservoir. The plants are in 4"x4" grow cubes that I cut to save money, sitting on top of grow slabs. Surrounded by orca film. I am at half nuts currently to try and let the plants get over the stress of the transplant.

Ok so to the question, I went in last night just as the light turned on for the 18/6 schedule to check ph and to make sure all was working properly. It was and the plants looked great and healthy, I have a wireless thermometer in there all night. as I wake up periodically throughout the night I make sure its ok. The temp stayed around 85-87 all night, I know its high but i can't do anything else right now.
In the morning I went to check on them and they were obviously dropping not bad but not as perky as they were the night before.
Could it be because of the temps? or maybe the nutes at half strength? Also I only water the plants 3-4 times a day for about 10 minutes.

A friend told me I should bump up to full nutes and let water run a lot more, what do ya'll think? By the way my garage stays in upper 80's through the day.

Some of the leaves look a little yellow because of the flash light thats aimed at them.
I don't want ppl to confuse that yellow with over watering yellow.

Got ya, maybe ill give them a day with no water and see how they do.
Also I'm wondering about the sides of the grow blocks i cute should be sealed off. Like are the roots gonna go mostly straight down or may they come out the sides

Well I want to give an update, after 24 hours the plants are doing much better.
I had a very trusted source tell me to go full nutes from half nutes and water more…… So I did, I let the water run for 3 hrs first feeding about an hour after lights came on, then the last 3 hours of lights on the water was on for 2 of the three.
I really feel like i needed to feed them more to help the get over the transplant.
These pics aren't as nice but you can see the difference.

Using General Hydroponics Flora series, just bumped it up to 1100 ppm and they are liking it.
