Hey guys so I’m week 5 into growing and my grow table collapsed and the plants fell. None of them broke or anything but some are now drooping but they also just went under a new light setup at the same time. I also used a spray bottle that I tried cleaning out really good and was pretty sure I did and I used it to mist the plants. What do you think the reason for some of them drooping is? Could they be stressed from the fall or are they not getting enough light from the fluorescents I just put them under or could there still been chemicals in the spray bottle? Thanks for the help

Pictures will help.
Maybe you are overwatering them?
Let the pots dry out nicely before you water again.

Are those a bad size for 5 weeks? All of those are bag seed. I have 1 seed of sacilians revenge from a Seed Bank and 1 clone of sour diesel. The clone of sour diesel is about 8 or 9 weeks old and is doing good under the fluorescents and cfls. The 1 from the Seed Bank is 5 weeks old as well and is only like 4 inches tall

What's the total wattage for how many plants?

I have 200w coming from t8s above alone and they’re 5000k each bulb than I have 4, 40w cfls shining on the sides of them and then 1, 100w incandescent bulb on each side. The big clone is under 4 cfls and it’s own 2 t5s with lights shining on the side

How many plants are under those because I'm thinking you need more light. Remember light is your plants food source without it nutrients are pointless.

The general rule of thumb for providing light for an area is a minimum of 30 watts per square foot. 50 watts per square foot is optimal. You can determine the proper lighting for your area by using this formula: 30 watts (or 50) x ?(your) square feet

I’ll have to measure the setup but I have 6 plants under about a 4 foot X 3foot area

The t8 light is 6 bulbs 4ft and the width of the light is about 3ft so idk if that’s enough light for that area
