Leaves drooping

These pics are in week 1 of flower. Autos. Medium is soil, using super soil. No nutrients. 45% RH. Using a HLG 650 R Spec at 70% about 29” from canopy.

The leaves all started drooping exactly when flower started. Flower started a few days apart, so not all drooped at the same time.

Is everything ok?

Thanks everyone. Underwatering seems to be my main theme along the lines. They’re in 5 gallon pots. Is a quarter gallon per plant enough each day?

Lift your pots as they are. Dry weight. Put a tray under each pot as you water it. Pour 4 cups at a time in 10 minute increments until you have run off. Let pot sit for a half an hour. Now drain the runoff to add to the next plant. Lift the pot. That is wet weight. You want to water till run off. Water again when getting close to dry weight.

Also could be a sign they are searching for nutrients and sucking more water as a result. Plant needs good amount of nutrition during early flower and stretch. Might have to top dress with something.

My opinion would be he has not even tapped the nutes in the soil. Under watering caused concentration of them. As the burnt tips indicate and the bright green from high N. Plant needs water until going again. Not more inputs to deal with. Get her wet and she will work again. LOL.
 
I got it. Really appreciate it. I’ve never grown before, so I am learning. Fear of overwatering has led to underwatering. I went and watered some more until I had good run off. I’ve never watered until I had run off before. Hoping it helps. Hopefully underwatering hasn’t been going for too long that it affects yield.

Sounds about right. Nice observation. Just thinking out loud.

Also, watering frequency has only been once per day. Should it be more like am and pm?
More volume. For 5 gallon go for more like 80 ounces or until runoff then let them dry a bit. Frequency would go down. Maybe every other day or 3. Cheers.

Multiple daily ferigations is more a coco thing.

That's a solid routine and sound advice.
