trust me mistik , there is no food left in the soil. the big bloom is just a "sweetiner" for the soil microbes. use it all the way through your cycle at a low dose.
give them a regular diet from here on out , they need the food now.

I'll hit the shop tomorrow and pick up some nutes. I'd prefer to keep it simple and stick to a single bottle. Any recommendations?

It looks like they could use a little food. I have a couple of plants every go around with a bit of droop like that. I wouldn't worry about it too much if they are staying green and continuing to grow. Sometime the leaves are big and droopy, I've even had my biggest producers be the droopy ones. As a matter of fact, that seems to be what I've got going right now.

Have you checked on them right before lights out? Usually about an hour before lights out they'll be standing up perked up soaking up light, but right after lights on they may take an hour or two to shake off the droop.

It's good to know that someone else has the same thing going on too. They are growing just fine and out growing the others that are with them. I'm always checking on them but I haven't noticed them perk or droop more at any particular time during the day yet. It's disheartening when you see pictures of other people's grows and they're big and bright and bushy and just full of life only to look in at what you're doing and all you see is droopy plants.

I am having a hard time trying to see in your picture, but is your main stalk in the second photo purple?

You need to start feeding. I would immediately go with 1/2 strength Cal Mag Plus from Botanicare. That will help tremendously when you are using Distilled or RO water. You should also go ahead and start 1/4 strength of whatever nutrient regimen you plant to use. They are starting to get a little N deficient and would benefit again from Cal Mag Plus. I would go water-feed to start here because they look very hungry. Don't go very strong, very seldom, go with medium strength fairly often, they will love you for it.

Stay at each strength for at least two feedings. I wouldn't go over 3/4 strength until you're about 3 or 4 weeks into flower. Some strains can go full strength, some can't so it's better to be a little under than over. The plant will recover just fine from a little hunger, over doing it and doing too much will often jack it all up.

Picked up some nutes and raised the night temps by a few degrees and the difference is quite amazing. LSD, then the Nebula on the left and Wappa on the bottom right.
A quick thank you to the folks that helped. :joint:
