If they are under a foot tall you shouldnt be giving them any nutes. how old are they? Drooping leaves is usually overwatering though

Im sorry thats incorrect. 3 weeks and you can add 1/4 strength every other watering. some people wait until they develop a deficiency though but im sure that slows down there grow some. drooping leaves can be under watering which would make more sense considering it is near the end of his light cycle and the plant has transpired a good deal of water also could be an aeration issue if the soil does not have enough oxygen in it say the medium is too dense the uptake of water will be slower causing the leave to droop as it transpires more water than it can take up, my suggestion would be to either lower your temps keep it down to 75 and see if that helps if its not too bad than its not really a big deal as long as your leaves are not hanging in the dirt and perk back up it wont really hurt anything.

I usually just wait until my cotyledons flatten out usually a good judge of when the plants initial stored energy is about spent. typically takes 3 weeks but it really depends on the soil.
