My healthy plants are drooping! Please Help!!

My very healthy looking Afgooey are now drooping. Not due to over or under watering. I currently have them under a 1500W HPS on a 18/6 cycle and they are clones probably 2-3 weeks old. Temp. is btwn 70-78 during the day and drops to around 65 at night Any info would be very much appreciated!!

Pics would help alot and be appreciated.

Will post pics tomorrow...dont want to cut the light back on for that short of a time...

thats a really really big light to be vegging clones under. ide suggest getting a small t5 cfl setup, HPS should be used for flowering instead of veg.

they might be hungry for nutes.

Yeah man, i agree with metalbrad. that is a big light for some clones, a t-5 should do, and it will use a fraction of the power. And the full spectrum is better for veg.

But anyways, what i always do with my clones and the first couple weeks of veg, is i foliar feed them every 2nd or 3rd day. The clones don't have many roots, so they can't take up as much nutrients or water, where as foliar feeding they can absorb whatever you give them. I foliar feed with something that is going to be high in cal-mag, because it will make those clones more strong and overall healthier. You can make up your own mixture, or just pick up some supernatural greenstay, which is a foliar feed, that is super high in cal-mag and nitrogen. Works fucking wonders for me.

or put some mexican bat guano into the soil when u transplant. thatll bulk up the N content with no need to add nutes

Thanks for the help, guys. I also have a 1000W MH (just need to get a bulb)...would this be better than the T5?

I was wanting to run a full Humboldt Nutrients line...think there are like 17 different nutes in the particular feeding schedule I wanted to use. Let me know if you think this would be a good start. It's the 2-Part Premium Program. Here's the link... http://www.humboldtnutrients.com/feeding-charts/soil-feeding-charts/#/Premium

Update: Checked on the plants this morning after the light had been running for a few hours and they were no longer drooping. New growth and appeared to be very happy, except for a Grape Ape that has a yellowing leaf on it (think it may just be stress from from going from rockwool into the soil).

17 different nutes eh? sounds expensive.

I run supernatural nutes, and it only require me to buy 5 nutes for a full run. I use gro terra, bloom terra, superboost, budblaster and ultimate thrive. Super simple, and i get amazing yields. A full run for my 40 gal res, costs me a total of $250-300. And thats for a 2week veg, 8 week flower (total of ten weeks). I do flood and drain and change my res once a week.
