Drooping in flower

Hello, it's my first grow and I am about 2 months in. Using FFoF fox farm trio and beasties bloomz with calmag as well. I am running 8 t5s and everything deemed to be okay until about a few days ago when I added a few 3000ks. I flushed them and I am seeing drooping, yellowing at the bottom, leaves clawing and brown pigtailing tips in some instances. It's been running a little hot around 85 some parts of the day. This is mainly happening to me 4 ft plant any suggestions on how to fix this? I added photos any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't recommend growing indoors during summer months. HUMIDITY..They will droop if over watered and they may have nute burn. How big are your pots? Do you have good ventilation and circulation? Dude just wait until late fall AFTER A KILLING FROST and enjoy the supplemental heating, low humidity and no bug worries.

Just posted my thread double posted for some reason.
Your ok thats not a disaster. Vacuum and clean your area. You are stretching a bit because t-5s are not good for full term just for vegging. I would hang the t-5s on each side vertically to help with bud density but you will only be able to grow one good plant. T-5s can be 1 inch from plant as long as you have some air flow.

After a flush you will get slight wilting ,the odd yellow leaf low down is nothing to worrie about .

Biggest issue I see is over watering. I know you said you flushed recently. I'm not s fan but to each their own. Let them dry out good now and between each watering. I've grown amazing plants with FFOF and the trio. I personally quit using it because of some issues. However I do still use Big Bloom. Anything besides the trio seems pointless imo. Even the trio itself is a joke for price since it is damn near bottles of water. Good for learning the basics of growing and ease of use. I know lots of advanced growers who use that line.I'm not hating or making fun of what you're doing. Please don't take it that way. I used that line for a good amount of time with great success.

GL and let them dry out good between waterings. Otherwise good job.

Why not grow indoors during summer months? If you do it right it's no problem. When it gets hot in the summer you just need to adapt. My 600 watt HPS is running right now in my tent in the garage. The garage is not air conditioned and the temp is 84 degrees. Inside the tent it's around 77 degrees. I do have a six inch 400 cfm fan, a sealed hood, and am exhausting up through the attic to vent outside. Plus I have a portable air conditioner inside the tent which also vents to the outside. I only need to do this for a month or two depending how hot the summer gets.

I could grow outside but I like to keep my weed clean. I have too many tall trees around dropping crap and then there is the bugs. Last time I grew a few plants outside they ended up full of pine needles, dead bugs that got stuck to the resinous buds, other bits of various things that drifted in the wind, and I found some nasty little caterpillars in some of the buds while trimming. I would love to be able to grow in my backyard but weed just catches too many things when it's flowering and all sticky and I have these tall trees all around dropping crap so I just grow vegetables outside. I hate dirty weed and I'm not picking through it. So I grow indoors and harvest nice clean weed.

Also, T5's can grow some good weed. This guy did pretty good @whitebb2727 http://www.rollitup.org/t/led-vs-t5-flourescent.968625/page-2#post-14359861

You can mix the bulbs. 6500k for the blue spectrum and 3000k for the red. Or use 6500k for veg and 3000k for flower. I only use T5's for veg but they can be used for flower as well with good results. It depends on the grower.

Yes I have had some good grows with t-5s but once I saw how much bigger 400 watt hps buds were I never looked back. I love t-5s for the first few weeks of growth but i switch to 400 watt hps for flowering. I have grown fantastic herb in my backyard for years. They require daily maintenance for the best quality. Depends on where you live I guess but we have 90-100 degree heat. Good luck with your grow.
