Default first grow..droopy leaves

started out my first grow w/ 4 seeds. grew under 2 4ft flouros for about 2 weeks. Sprouted fine and everything. got a 400hps from my friend and put it about 2 ft abve the plants. couple days later started noticing very droopy leaves and some even dry and yellow at the tips. i had been watering everyday with 10-15-10 plant food. i had 2 fans blowing to keep the room cool from the 400hps. the room is about 4x4ft. now i have the hps off and the flouros back on bc i figured the room got too hott...now the flouros are about an inch from the plants and i have cut down on the plant food.

any reccommendations on how i can get these babies back healthy??

I'd say stop feeding them nutrients every day, maybe even flush them. Other than that I don't know what your temps are so I cant really help you much there, but stay below 90 if you can.

That is too hot, but heat stress leads to the edges of the leaves curling up slightly (like a taco kind of)...not drooping. Overwater causes droopy leaves, and from the sounds of it the plant is probably too young for many nutes. Also you shouldn't really be feeding it nutes everyday anyway, do water, water, nutes....or something like that.

I think you should stop using the nutes for now, wait until the plants look like they need them...you need to get rid of some of that build-up from feeding to often. Other than that 10-15-10 will work sure, but less IS more...don't let anyone tell you otherwise Fluoros are great for veg, keep em nice and close.

I'm no expert, since I am on my first grow and not doing great. But with my 1 gallon pots I am watering every other or every third day and the plants are doing much better then when I was watering every day.
