Over watering v Nitrogen Toxicity

Hey guys Me and my roommate decided to try our hands at growing. It's a budget grow, we have sectioned off a corner of the shed and put thick cardboard as walls and currently have tinfoil bit will be upgrading. We are using a 250w CFL (2700k) and two 100w CFL (6500k). We are having trouble deciding if the plants are suffering from nitrogen toxicity or over watering (or nothing if we're crazy). Some of the plants have claw like curves, while others appear to be drooping.

GROW INFO
  • The soil is from our planter which we have been successfully growing vegtables and other plants.
  • The plants were transfered about 3 days ago. Into "home depot buckets' with holes drilled
  • The temperature is 72 with good ventilation and a fan running.
  • We have yet to use any nutrients.
  • The strains that are growing are purple Widow, gorilla glue 4, and sour patch.

if you don't really know what it's the soil, meaning that you think it doesn't have much for fertilizer in it and you've never added anything, then it might be a good idea to try a small amount with the next watering. you could probably wait a day or so, then do it. those containers are rather large for small plants. just water enough to soak a small area across the top but enough water so it penetrates fairly deep. use more water as the plants get bigger. let the soil have several days to dry out depending on temperature. in hot weather you'll probably need to water every day. Schultz fert is fairly good and cheap. dynagro 7-9-5 even better and it just takes small amount of either to do the trick. be careful not to over feed. read the directions of any fert you choose to use.

First thing to mention: too big containers. Small plants can show crazy symptoms in big pots.

You definitely might want to look at the ingredients of your soil and see what it's made of. Cannabis is not a regular plant.
