I assumed overwatering but I’m not. I’m going like 3-4 days at least. Soils super dry when I water. Then I thought maybe nitrogen toxicity but I mean I barely give any nutes and I have been using anything with any excessive amount of N. So I’m kind of confused. Raised light slightly and added another fan for now.

Wow. Mine have done the same thing. They haven't done it lately but for weeks and weeks they were doing that. And like you I wasn't over watering, soil was super dry, and pots weighed almost nothing. Whether I had just watered or at least 3 days later they were all droopy like that. Then I repotted them into 5 gallon cloth pots, and started using . Botanicare nutrients, and I haven't had a droop since. I still don't know what had caused it.
 
Drooping plants are usually due to under watering and too much heat. I noticed the temp at 82* and only the tops are drooping which indicate lack of enough water, to the tops. The rest of the plant appears to be taking all the water. I would drop the temp to at least 75* first to slow evaporation and allow the plant to get all the water. The temp is evaporating the water in the leaves faster then it can replace it. This is from past experience! I Also like to water to maintain a nice damp soil (Not Wet) at all times. JMPO !
 
Another thing to consider and I just recently learned about it. Is that some tents and I’m assuming some plastic pots sometimes are cheap material and they off gas not sure what the corrsoterm is but it makes your plants sick and makes you believe it’s nutrient deficiency or ph is off but it’s the off gases causing the problems. Although this problem was common with the old tents or the first ones made I should say. So now that they e learned of those problems they use better material but who knows. Just my 2 cents hope your grow gets better
 
good start, I run a temp of 72* lights on, 69* lights off after dialing in my ventilation system. I find the plants to really thrive at this temp range. I also found overthinking problems caused more problems. What was the last thing I did, or did not do, usually caused the problem or what has changed in the environment.JMO
 
Hey, that’s a great point. This did used to happen. Check your connection elbow. The parts that connect the tent poles. Is it made out of plastic or metal?
 
When was this picture taken with respect to your lighting schedule?
if it’s the first hour of lights on...might want to check them again in a while (or after the lights have been on for a while).
I have seen plants slump like this during lights off and then perk back up after the lights have been on for a few hours.
 
He is rocking the t5 cfl lights. Don’t think you can get too close with out touching the bulb.
 
Hey thanks for everyone’s input! Okay so let me see if I can answer everyone’s questions. So as far as the tent material I didn’t know that but luckily I just bought this tent and the elbow connectors are metal. I also am running lights 24/0 just because that’s what I’ve been running since the start. Growing in FoxFarm Happy Frog soil and to be totally honest I haven’t been checking my run off every time. But the times I did check it it was stable. But other than that I’ve got the temps in the 70s now. They look a little better already. I really appreciate all the input for real because I don’t want to loose these babies!!!
 
Like inside one of the spiral ones? 😂😂 that’s awesome lol you don’t have a pic of that do you? That’d be great to see 😂
