okay there is the story. most of my plants were healthy before i got my new cfl 4ft lamp. its a very strong cfl light but its really warm under the heat. i think i had it 2 inches above the seedlings and overnight it might have heatstressed some of my plants. i saw that the plants that had this problem were the ones in the back and mostly the ones in the middle that have this heat stressed problem. notice picture number 1 and 2 the droop and bear claw. it cant be overatering cause its perlite hempy and you cant overwater a hempy. i know its not nute burn caause my other plants have healthy. especially the ones that were in front where the fan was blowing.

pic number 3 is of another plant where u can see deep ridges on the veins of the plant. the plant isnt crisp yet but its kind of grainy not soft like the healthy plants. it was also in the middle.

pic number 4 is of a healthy plant i had in front. so what do u think may be the solution for this? i have 6.5 ph water mixed with dynagro grow and root excelurator in there. will it get better now that i raised the lights to 3-4 inches above the plants? please help.

Humidity is pretty decent since I got a flooded tray of water that I have almost full with runoff
Could be to high. i notice anything over 55% in my grow room makes my plants droopy. Hope this helps. Also raise the lights a bit higher.

but the plants closer to the fan are perfect and the ones in the middle row and back row are looking droop AND DRY! i know too high of humidty isnt a problem for me tho, since the light is really hot and the fan dries out humidity fast.
