How long ago did you repot, and what soil did you use? Still in veg?
Repot was 2 days ago, I used canna coco professional + and added perlite, been In veg for 5 weeks now but waiting for cuttings too catch up, can't get my head around it the airflow is the same and the oscillating fan isn't strong enough for wind burn?

You know, they look droopy but not horrible bad. I've never been in your situation, but it doesn't sound like you're doing anything starkly wrong. I hope someone with more experience chimes in.

They might just still be in a bit of shock. Maybe give it a bit? If it gets much worse, it's gotta be something else. Overwatering? Overnuted new soil? Did you turn up or move the light?

Like you, I would be wracking my brain for anything else that might be different.

Cheers mate, Its got my brain cells buzzing like an old ballast, I have checked all possibilities mentioned but I have done everything and put everything in place to prevent further damage too plants, the only thing I can think of is nutrient lockout but I have been feeding just half recommended feed, and ph is 6.5 so don't think this is a factor

My leaves are curling and leaves have started too droop, the rh is 50%, the temp is 23-25, I have recently repotted into new hessian 20l pots, as they were root bound in plastic 12l ones and they still haven't picked up, also I have tried plain water with abit cal mag?
Need more info.... what soil... water ph... if youre using nutes, which ones and how much?

I don't see any curling, but I do see drooping. The kind of droop looks like overwatering to me.
Yoo, finally haha thank you for commenting bro, and what do you mean water too run off? I have them in trays and feed them all the same, 1.5 litre every 2 days, and the curling seems too be on the new growth of the plants, the colour of the new growth is a much lighter color green most at the top of the plant

Canna coco professional + (added own perlite)
Water ph 6.5
And I use canna coco a+b, rhizotonic and cannazym, also cal mag that's it but I'm using less than half the recommended dosage

Watering to runoff means, are you watering until water comes out the bottom of the pot. Are you watering before they need to be watered? Plants need a proper dry cycle in the rootzone. You need to let the soil dry a bit before rewatering.

Light green new growth is normal, it's when the old growth starts to get light colored, that's when you have problems.

Your plants look pretty green to me. I'm not seeing any problems other than the dropping. If it turns out that you are over watering, you'll start having problems. Maybe post some more pics. Closer to the stems, and some shots of the top.

If youre in coco your pH sounds to be quite high, I think you should be around 6,0... runoff is necessary in coco. I grow in peat so maybe my advice is not the best, but something to take into consideration... good luck!

If he's in coco is not over watering. I wonder what it is then. I think coco ph is 5.8. Maybe it's that?

6 is correct for coco. The 6.5 ph could be stressing them if they're sensitive, but I'm guessing he got them that far on the 6.5. They look pretty green to me.

Could it be that your soil is running out of nutes in it?
