What's up RIU, my lady has droopy tops after lights on for several hours, she stands straight up when lights out and most of while lights on but as pic shows the tops flop over.. Running 300w led just flipped 12/12 on Monday, using FFOF with no nutes yet, temp lights on run about 77 78 degrees, lights out around 70.. Thanks for reading and any help appreciated..

Those deep veins, in the leaves tell me shes well watered, perhaps too much ..?

Drooping like this, at worst is root rot, a fungal infection in the roots, bought in by the soil

the clue is in the smell of the soil, it may smell like rotten eggs or stinky socks

another clue ..like u said is the fact she droops when the light is on,

like something is stopping the roots acting on..?

what I'd do ...return he to veg for 7-10 days,

first pot up to another bigger pot adding 30% perlite or clean river sand to the wet FFOF

this gives much needed air to that soil

smell that soil, compare..??

FFOF is a quality soil and I've never heard of growers getting Root Rot from FFOF,

so maybe you got it from your water..?

perhaps I'm wrong and the room just gets hot ..? ensure you have a temp, and humidity gauge in there

along with a small fan

above all let us know how you go

now is a good time to take a clone

6-12 inches long, dip in honey and to a darkened cup of water for 10 days at 77f

cross fingers and good luck

Hey Dia, so here is the deal, I took her from 1gal to 3gal 4/1 ish never skipped a beat well the last few days she has looked like pic.. Looks great for a while, several hours then she starts going limp on the tops like 3 or 4 of them.. Watering about every 4 days, Friday Wednesday.. Water till just start seeing runoff then stop.. Maybe over watered due to poor drainage? Cuz I watered Wednesday. None since Friday and barely put any water in and it started coming out bottom.. Think I'm gonna re pot. I pretty new, only a handful of crops so I appreciate any "good" help..lol

back off the water a bit , give it enough to dry out in 2-3 days. Dont worry about run off. Lets see a whole pic of her please with led off
 
Pot her up...let her transition back into healthy mode,let her grow another 4'' and throw that whore into flower;) When you transplant her...give her a half a dose of cal/mag with the watering. Make sure the soil isnt too too dry during transplant...it wont shock that way. I do see signs of over watering stress on bottom leaves as well.
