Droopy Leaves

What do you think is the issue with this plant? I think the drooping might have to do with a little transport shock but i handled it carefully so it should be OK. What would explain the purple dark stems??

I think if you just let her dry out really well before next watering it will have improved by then. If you dont see a lot of improvement over the week then I'd post another shot.
I'm cutting back on the water and I've noticed that they are not curling/droopy as much. Still a little droopy but i definitely see some improvement. I'm going to go ahead and wait untill the leaves stop drooping and then water it which would be three days or so from now. I usually water every 3-4 days whenever the top soil is dry and bucket it light. Thanks for the information i think you saved me. I'll post pictures in a few days with the update :)

Looks like a clone that doesn't have it's roots fully established.
I should've transported in a smaller container. Is that what you mean? It seems to be improving slighty.. i just dont think its growing as fast. It was ready to be transported just should've put them in solo cups and eventually the 1 gallon.

First picture is my blue widow. I believe it's showing signs of a little nutrient burn and maybe some nutrient lockout on both but I've corrected this now with the ph being 6.0 and I'm just waiting for improvement.. Second picture is the slow recovering SkyWalker OG but I'm guessing i just have to wait another day or two until it stops drooping and then i can water it correctly this time. Is it growing slower because i transported from a small container to a much larger container? Any advice is much appreciated..

Whats the PPM of the feeding your thinking of? When transfering to a larger container, I always find the first watering to take the most time to dry up. The roots havn't yet filled the container and there is a lot of dirt to soak up water in the meantime. I want to be upfront and tell you that I am 99% an organic dirt farmer, though I do have a few hydro side projects under my belt. When I was learning the basics of hydro, I used Advanced Nutrients Grow/Bloom/Micro pH perfect line and it let me be not so tweeked out on adjusting pH readings while I learned the other aspects. I'm not saying you need to change what you got, growing is about learning after all. But do tell us more about what nutrient system you are using and what amounts are using for the next feeding.

Thank you for the good information about Hyrdo. I've looked a lot into that and i plan on doing that as well but for now I'm using Dyna-Grow Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and following the production guideline i used 1 teaspoon per gallon of water and the PH is adjusted around 6.0 (Yellow color). I will now be feeding (nutrients) to the blue widow tomorrow using only 2 ML (1/2) per gallon of water to be safe just enough to where i would see some water drain out the bottom. Next week on Tuesday i will do the same and work my way up as needed ( It looks like that one needs to be watered today but just to be safe I'm going to wait until tomorrow, a little dry soil couldn't hurt. After all it's not limping as much as it was before. As for the Skywalker OG I am waiting to get it back on schedule of feeding it nutrients every Wednesday but it looks like i'm going to have to wait maybe a little longer and reschedule..probably on Thursday it will be every other Thurday using 2 ML and moving up as needed.The pot is still a little heavy..

I fed Blue Widow its nutrients today just now watering correctly this time.:weed: I plan to do the same tomorrow for the Sky Walker. I've noticed when i lift the pot on the Sky Walker that some tap roots are exposed on the bottom where the drainage holes are but since it's definitely not root bound I'm assuming that's actually great and shows that roots have successfully grown around in the pot :) I'll update with a picture in a week hopefully showing much more improvement and growth. Thanks Southerner for the guidance and everyone else here :D I've learned a lot here already and i never thought I'd mess up on something as simple as Over water. I appreciate everyone pointing it out (I probably would've continued to over water) and giving tips it means a lot :)

Uh oh, i don't think she's doing too good. I was seeing recovery before and now they went back to being droopy and looking bad. I've noticed that some of the leaves are curling up at the end tip of the leaf..brown color.. I think this may have to do with the temperature, what do you guys think? It's been getting a little hot in there more than usual..so I'm almost certain this is the issue. Wouldn't this cause the leaves to droop? I gave it a good watering and after a few days i remember the leaves looking slightly better but now as the days have passed it went back to being droopy again. I've also noticed that its taking a while for the pot to dry out.. I watered on last Sunday May 26, 2016. Maybe this is because of Humidity/Temperature has got higher?? :S As always any advice is really appreciated here.
Here's some pictures. The first picture is the Skywalker OG, the second picture is Blue Widow, and last but not least is my seedling that seems to be doing fine..

I really hope it gets better i'm a little worried. I don't like seeing my plants sick..
