Drooping leaves (heat related?)

Your plant looks fine. The drooping may have been caused by over watering.

When my plants had a bad heat problem the leaves curled upward and started to yellow. And that was at a temp of about 105-110.
Plants CAN thrive in 90 degrees. Don't believe if people say they can't.
What about during flowering, what should the temp be?

Yeah, either this is due to watering? lighting or just a sick strain....I do think they look fairly healthy overall..I have had my plants droop Even fall over due to underwatering! During veg every 3 days was feeding, once flowering was intorduced and adding more light/distance they dired out much quicker.Now 2 days watering is what they need, Next time for feeding, water them well (assuming good drainage) wait a few hours and take a look there should not be much drooping...

I've heard 72-80 degree's is perfect. I've got my flowering in my stealth box and the temp stays between 83-90 degree's and they're doing just fine. So I think 90's would be fine also. Just got to keep the humidity low while flowering.
thanks,my bigger plant turned out to be a male.
Ive got the temp at about the same. 80-85 with lights on. Humidity is 50-65
Feeding them full strength now they look alot better, no more drooping leaves, only late in the evening right before the light go off, wonder why?
I finally think i have the watering down, i found it was easiest to stick my finger in each pot, plus i guess it airates it too.
I've also got a carbon filter and inline fan, the smell is getting bad. lol (it might pull some of the heat out too?
My tomatoes are 3.5 weeks old and I need to know how to detect if they are males or females, any and every help is needed?

Any one has experience wtith fox farm nutes,
My question is what mix ratio is best for veg and vice versa
This was my first grow and i follwed the mix ratio on bottle, basically i was wondering can i grow stronger on next grow? I vegged for a little while longeri think i have a taller room and they are only about 5 weeks old, but about 16-26 inches tall. Kinda waiting for my new hood i got a easy cool. To lower temp while flowering i have my humidity around 38- 40%. I have also confirmed that two of them are females, i think a couple are males (will look close in a couple more days). Did switch to a 16-8 light ratio, i know you can go straight to 12-12 light but im also lowering my utility bill. Damn AC during summer. I also experimented with pot size on this grow and found (what works for me) is to start in party cups and transplant straight into 3 gal containers. I transplanted some into 8qt containers they are nowhere as big or tall as the ones that went straight into 3 gal containers.

Any one with experience with foxfarm give some suggestions please?

starting flowering tonight i have an easycool6 got temps down to 77degrees. I have 10 flowering, two is confirmed females, i think ive got a couple males in the bunch but we will wait to see. Ill give another couple days to week to hopefully be really able to tell if full blown males. I mean i know im going to have some males, because im growing from bagseed till i get a couple grows under my belt then ill order some feminized (wanting to know where to order from ANY SUGGESTIONS).

If i turn out with 5 females how much of yield can i look forward to? Ive been vegging a little longer because ive got a 8 ft grow room, my plants are anywhere from 10-20 inches tall. So if ive read right i should expect them to at least double in size? I ve also been experimenting with lst versus just pinching?

5weeks old and they are only 10-20 inches tall, but they are some bushy little bitches, im out of room in my room.
Kinda wanting to hurry up to determine sex so i can thin the room out. for better air flow for the flowers.
