lights 2 foot from top of plants at 1000 watts mabey too close, not enough water usually has something to do with the droop, as well as depleated o2 in tent at end of day. My guess is its just too much for a 3.5 x3.5 tent get rid of the tent and put mylar emergency blankets up to expand to 10x10 x whatever your ceiling is. Packing too many watts into a small tent doesn't make bigger better smoke, it makes drooping, stressed plants. My guess is you would be better off with 250 or possibly a well vented 400 still,,, 400 may be too much.
