Droopy

I germinated four seeds of an indica strain on 08/01/2025. I use fox farm grow big for nutrients every other watering, on the other days I put calmag into the water. I keep the PH between 6.0-6.5, I chose to go with Fox farm tree frog soil. I am growing them in an ac Infiniti 2x4 grow tent setup. The temp is on average 69-70, humidity is a bit different. My humidifier went out a couple weeks ago and I'm waiting for the replacement. However I already had a vivosun humidifier that i have had to put inside the tent, so the past couple weeks on average that humidity is 65-74. It's unpredictable because I can't connect the vivosun to my account Infiniti system controller. I use half the recommended lowest dosage recommended for the nutrients. Okay for the question, all but one of my plants looks great. One of them however the leaves are droopy, this same plant experienced wind burn about a week ago so I changed the fan settings and moved the plants to the furthest corner away from the plant. I just want to know if there is anything actually wrong and if so what it could be... If it's fine than great! I just have a feeling that isn't the case. Thank y'all for taking the time to read my lengthy post, I hope y'all have a good one.

Is the pot heavy or light? Heavy = wet soil, to wet = root issues. When was it last watered?
When you flip to 12/12s or if auto when it starts to flower change the PH to 6.5-6.8.
My eyes are not as young and sharp as they used to be, give it good look over for male flowers, I think I see some trying to hide.
 
The plan looks over watered but the soil looks under watered. Is that soil or coco? if its soil your PH is too low
 
The pot isn't light like it's dry, but it's not heavy like it's over watered either. The last watering was 08/06/2025 I didn't incorporate the fox farm on that one. I did add calmag to the water and the PH was 6.4, I've done light trimming on the calmag days, I started that two weeks ago but it wasn't droopy and didn't get the wind burn yet at that point. I am including more close up pictures but I haven't found any indication of male plant, but this is my second grow and haven't ran into that issue yet so by all means if I missed something let me know please! Thank you okay one thing I also wanted to ask about was when I set my PH and it's at let's say 6.4, my PPM is somewhere between 517. I've read it should be below 200-300. Could this be a factor?

I am using soil, fox farm happy frog blend. The PH is adjusted each time at watering I keep it between 6.2-6.5. I water every other day alternating the nutrients. I use a one gallon orange juice jug, I give approximately 1/4 of the gallon to each plant every other day. Every other watering I switch between nutrients and calmag but don't mix the cal mag with the nutrients since it already has iron in the calmag mix.

This does not address your question, but I see some yellowing of the leaves. Are you only using big bloom? That has no nitrogen and little potassium and phosphorous. I believe Big bloom mostly supplies micro nutrients. You need to give them some NPK via their other products. Fox farm has a feeding schedule on their website.
 
I'm not using big bloom at all, I'm using fox farm instant-concentrate grow big liquid plant food. It has a 6-4-4 ratio, it recommends 2-3 tsp per gal. I have been puting 1.5 tsp per gallon.
 
Sorry for my mistake my head told me you said big bloom but you clearly said grow big. Guess I should double check before posting when stoned!
 
Ahahahaha I'd be a hypocrite if I did get upset, each comment I've had to reread at least four or five times. I totally inderstand
 
Do you use a meter to measure the PPM? Do you know if it measures using the 500 or 700 scale? Using an online calculator if using the 500 scale 517 ppm converts to 1.03 EC and on the 700 scale it converts to .74 EC. Both of those are low for that stage of growth. The plant might need a higher concentration of nutrients, but I'd start with a flush and ensure proper PH, then dose with an adequate nutrient solution as others have suggested.
 
For soil I target 7.0 to 7.5, of course I only grow in soil outside and thats the PH of my well water and my outside grows always end up in the burning barrel because of the bud rot, lol
 
To me it still looks like you have a few things going on their, if it was me, and it is not, I would defol it like I do for scwhazzig but I wouldnt put it ion 12/12 for a while to see new growth. Too much calmag can cause problems too.The weird thing to me is you have other plants doing fine

Okay so it's been a couple of days, I have been waiting to see if there was any changes. The plants were fine, looking good. I checked today and every single one of them are just..... Just droopy. Yellow or light leaves, sagging. It's nothing absolutely nothing like it was yesterday.
 
I'm sorry about your plants. I'm still curious about your PPM/EC question, did you see my comment? I'm also curious about how much water your plants are getting. If I understand correctly they get about a quart of water every other day. That's not enough. Do you do the lift and weigh method to determine when to water? Do you use the finger test? Water your plant until you get 10% runoff. Is the droopiness constant or just present after lights on?
