Growing conditions consist of a 4x4x6 tent (one side currently unzipped and open as I’m just in the vegetative stage) with a 600w mh bulb using an air cooled hood. It is air cooled with a 4 inch in line fan that has a filter. Bulb is about 2 feet away from the plants. 5 plants are Dutch passion blueberry and the 6th plant is cheese. I planted them directly into planters that hold roughly half gallon ish of soil and it is fox farms ocean forest. I haven’t checked ph or added any nutrients but when I planted them I gave the soil a watering and let them sprout and they looked happy so I didn’t water for a bit. They started to look a bit unhealthy I guess droopy-ish just slightly and I noticed a slight discoloration on a few of the leaves. When I water they droop even more and then within 6 hours they perk up a bit but never look fully happy. I am inexperienced so would love any advice

Some things do that then perk up however if it stays droopy tho water less as thats a sign of overwatering they be cool to be potted up soon if your doing that

They look good. You seem careful so I'm sure you'll manage to water them correctly. In general don't wait for them to look droopy before you water. Water when the pot feels very light, but not so dry to the point it makes your plants unhappy. You'll develop a feel for it.

Seedlings can experience some growing pains as they grow into the environment you provide. If I had a bunch of seedlings that looked like that, I wouldn't stress over them at all.

If the fans start looking pale, don't be afraid to give them some 1/2 strength nutes with their next watering.
