Anyone know why they look like this?

They don't look soaking wet, is the drainage good? How often are you watering? What temps exactly do you mean by cold? Do you have lights on during the coldest part of the day, like night time?

Wow that is very cold indeed. This is something of a rare thing to come across, its nearly always temps too high, so that's an alien idea to me, been so low and what effects that has on the plant. there must be someone who has an idea on that issue though.

yeah I changed the route of my heat disipation so that the growroom is now at a constant 24C.

what soil are they in? if that's coconut hulls you cold be locking up because the ph is to high.
Ph is on par.

If you are in coco you need to be keeping the medium moist as when in coco they need more watering than soil but as @butterbudface says if you are off with your PH it could be causing a lockout. When coco or soil dries the PH fluctuates, sometimes quite drastically dependant on your environment.

I will check the runoff water ph next time i water.

coco is self buffering, its very important to keep ph in the right range but it doesn't change ph when it dries and you don't have to keep it moist at all either. cannabis like a wet dry wet dry environment. Coco is perfect for that. It retains plenty of water and dries the same as any other soilless medium. Where did you get the info on coco coir changing ph as it dries @slyone. I would like to read the source as I have used it for years without ph fluctuations and searched for info on this with no avail.

Obviously the OP has some issues going on. Will not argue with that.

I was probably getting confused as I have done hydro, coco & soil. What with all the info. in my head and a few smokes later when burning the midnight oil, sometimes I get confused. Forgive me but it was not meant to mislead. I am conversing via a few threads at moment so maybe my wires have been crossing... oops !

Butterbudface, lets go back to the begging, it sure looks like overwatering. But as you say you are watering ever 3 days when the soil/coco is dry and have good drainage.. so maybe the cold temps have stopped the roots absorbing nutrients, salts dissolve better in warmer zones than colder ones so maybe that has something to do with it. MAYBE..

A few questions though,
Is it coco coir?
What is the ph you are feeding?
What are the 3 part nutrients you are using( brand)

It looks like all are clones, so the yellowing on the leaves that are cut on the smaller ones is fairly normal. But obviously the drooping is not.
Like I say, could be those real low temps that have shocked the root system, a bit like when they get transplant shock.
If you look it up they do seem to match the same sort of symptoms as over watering.
Also after looking further into it root bound veg plants would also wilt and yellow. But then the ones in hydro could not be root bound.
It all leads me to think that the root zone in both methods has dropped so low that the roots are either in shock or otherwise unable to absorb the nutrients and thus wilting and in the case of the larger ones feeding off the plant rather than the roots and yellowing.

This is speculation on my part and should be only used to further search and help solve the problem at hand.
Hopefully now you have got the temp situation back to a reasonable level they may perk up, in which case I would give them a good feeding and monitor their progress
