Going from 19 watts to a real light is going to be a MAJOR change for you. You will have to adjust accordingly. "droopy" already sounds like too much light without even looking.....

So...here is the whole plant. The spots only appeared a few days ago and were only on the lower leaves and I cut them off. The upper leaves are okay but drooping. It started when I replaced the light so, I thought it may be too much light? I figure I may have two issues? One causing the droop (too much light) and something causing spots on the lower leaves.

It looks like your in soil... also your leafs look really light green. Have you fed her yet?

I am, indeed, in soil. I couldn't maintain a good temp with DWC and kept getting root issues.
Sorry about the colour. She is actually REALLY rich and healthy green. The light seems to wash out the colours on my camera.

Next time dont cut the leafs you can learn to watch them for signs of improvement or spreading symptoms. Thats how i learned

Have what soil are you in and have you started nutes? What kinda nutes you using?

My fear was that it's some sort of fungus and I didn't want it to spread across the whole plant. I lost three plants before successfully growing my last one, so...I'm a bit gun shy. lol.

I think your plant just needs fed

So. I am in just plain, normal soil (no Miracle Grow). I WAS watering with 20-20-20 but, she has only been in the pot for about a week and a half now so has only been watered about three times. All of those times, I used the water with the nutes. After an earlier post suggesting that it was too much nutes, I have switched to just plain water and that is what she had on the last watering (yesterday).

You watrered 3 times with a 20-20-20....., how much did you use per gallon ?
Overall , she is healthy , dont go crazy trying to "fix it" ....

It was a powdered mix. I used about half what the label said to use. I realize now that I have possibly over fed her? I'm not sure how often to feed.
My guess, so far, is that the lower leaf spots are from over feeding and the drooping is from the new light being too bright. But...This is the guess of a guy who knows nothing. lol.

You need to let your plant have a dry cycle. You should only be watering a plant that size once every 5 days or so. Pick up the pot after watering to get a feel for how heavy it is. Now after 4 days or so stick your finger deep into the soil... if it dry Pick up the pot, it will feel much lighter lighter.

She dont look overfed but i am sure the light is a bit too bright for her.... raise it up some.
The weight of the pot is the only way to tell when shes ready for water. She "should" drink it all in 2-5 days. A dry cycle will really help the roots stretch out like daz said.
