Severe Drooping think theyre gonna DIE!!

My plants are about 6 weeks into veg, just starting day 1 of flowering today. Left them in darkness for 30 hours prior to beginning 12/12. When I checked on them today the lower leaves on both of them were SEVERELY drooping, and on one the largest fan leaves were also severely drooping. It is apparent that the drooping is spreading upwards on both plants, now I am almost certain it is not over/underwatering so please do not reply with that, (or I will strangle you.) Temps are generally between 75-85 degrees, (occasionally higher or lower), one thing that is off is the PH, it is apparently heavily alkaline, although this has been the same all the way through the grow and the droopiness is a new problem so I do not think it is due to that. It is not a light issue either. Please help!!!!!!

Edit. Although I said severely drooping it is not as bad as some people's, like this https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/32841-leaves-drooping.html, but still worrying, the lower leaves look practically dead theyre that limp, also there isn't any discoloration or yellowing.

Its either over-watering or PH, and from what you said it sounds like a ph problem
 
Its definately not overwatering, or under for that matter. It doesn't droop like overwatering anyway, the lower leaves are a LOT more heavily affected than the the higher leaves, and one plant is noticably worse than the other in near enough identical conditions. The ph has been the same all the way through, and not had problems, and there is a smaller plant that is not affected at all. Could poor air circulation cause this? Whilst they were in the 30 hours darkness I obviously couldnt open the closet door so the air may have been a bit stale, also that doesn't explain why one plant is worse than the other. Or maybe heat stress, the temps were about 90f for about 2 hours, but again this doesnt explain why one plant is worse. Or maybe root bound, this would explain why one is worse as the worse one is slightly taller. Although as I said there is no discoloration which normally indicates this. Any ideas...I really dont want them to die at this point

that sucks. i just had a plant dye and one start doing the same thing. repotted it and it perked up. i hope that fixes it. the bigger one is the one that died.
 
Sorry to hear that. Did the drooping just continue to get worse until it died? Mine were really healthy like one day ago, I dont see what the problem is. So you transplanted and it recovered? Do you know what the problem was, did you change the soil mix in your new pot? Im thinking Ill go out tomorrow and buy the biggest pots available, and buy some dolmitic lime for the ph and transplant them. If that doesnt work I am truly fucked, 6 weeks of my life down the drain.

7 weeks old, wilted to nothing. it took about 5 days. kept 12 little buds, haven't smoked um yet.
 
Thanks man. They were root bound, repotted em both today, should be fine I hope. The roots just needed to be untangled, they were so tightly stuck together in the root ball they couldnt grow. Shame you lost one before you could fix it, hope the buds you got from it at least get you high man
