Ill send another pic when they wake up at 3pm but they shoot up and by the end of the 18 they droop like this so i think you're on to something with the light.

I'm a rookie too, homie lol

That symptom would usually be watering related. Newbies like to overwater...

You want humidity higher in veg. Get a humidifier...but that is not your current issue.

Is that 600 watts each? You want about 15-18 watts per sq foot to start with in veg, so if you have both veg and bloom switch on its too much light, especially if it's by days end. Spread out your lights from each other too. It means the plants are oversaturated with light. Also it doesn't hurt to put the plants on a 16/8 schedule, more people are transitioning to it, its better for the plants. Keep an eye on what time they just start to droop, this is your upper threshold for time. Shave a half hour off of that time, if it puts it at less than 15 hours then you need to dim your lights or raise them, dimming will save you money and a better choice. All marijuana plants in their native locales don't experience more than 16 hours of daylight, this includes ruderalis.

The drooping doesnt look too bad compared to some others. Just make sure that soil has plenty of water. I dont even let the top of my soil get too dry. If there is plenty of moisture in the soil then i would be thinking mabye heat, or the fan, which can sometimes dry the plants out faster than the roots can uptake water. I have seen this when i move my plants to a new container, or when i have a fan blowing on my cuttings.

Just an addition..you could be evaporating too fast if your humidity is 30%. I think they would be a littlw happier in the 50-75% until you veg.

its a viparspectra blurple, actual draw is probably half that. I would agree, however for plants so young that turning off the flower switch and raising the light by 8in or so will make things easier on them as well as lower temps and raise humidity all of which will help. No need to blast them with so much light this young
