Having a little trouble I'm good at this but something went wrong

I don't know if it's overwatered or pH is off but the plan is in veg all I've done so far is take off a few select leaves here and there and topped it three times could it be my light I just don't know I've been pretty busy lately I have coast of Maine dirt in my grow it holds the water pretty long so maybe over water but they just droopy I don't get it colors are off I mean this is my sixth row my last two were very successful I missed something here only using water and a tiny bit of recharge once but basically water just grow because there's a lot of food in that dirt I'm about a month in I have an oscillating fan blowing around on the tent Maybe because I don't have my small fan no more blowing on the plants directly I'm just spitballing here but any ideas would help I just been busy so I didn't have the time to give it the proper attention

What's the temperature? What size pots? How long have they been getting only coast of maine?

Leaves look full of water.

I agree on overwatering. Leaves drooping/curled down, and petioles still pointing up...

5 gallon pots I'm using coast of Maine dirt I'm using two LED lights one of them Mars Hydro the other one spider farm both 1,000 output Watts they're like $150 lights I got my lights at the proper height they are not on full blast I've had five successful grows yet this is the first time this is happening all I've been doing is giving her straight water because the dirt has plenty of food in it like a whole lot I started my seeds in a low level food dirt and then transplanted them into the proper pots with the dirt a few weeks later they took to it fine no nutrient burn I don't know if I overwatered cuz this has Coco cure in it and retains moisture longer so when I did feed them it was just a little moist tiny bit it wasn't completely dried out but I was told not to let it get completely dried out cuz you kill all the microbes in the dirt

See someone told me that I should never let the dirt completely dry out to the point where it's way too light this dirt does me retain a lot of water usually only have to water it every 2 weeks in the beginning is there a certain moisture meter I should buy or I mean is it poor circulation from Air I don't have a lot of circulation going on I got one fan blowing out on the roof one small 6 in intake fan blowing in I'll make a small video and post it with this thread

They've been getting coast of Maine after it's 2 weeks and fox farm frog dirt forgot the name it's got a frog on the bag it didn't get any nutrient burn when I transplanted a few leaves on the bottom touch the dirt and that's why they're turning yellow I put them in the ground the 18th of August

Unrelated to your current issues, but your lights do not have 1KW of output; most likely 100w (SF) and 150w (Mars)

Max the lights and do not water for a while.

Yeah I don't know about the lumens I lost my meter but I know it's supposed to be a 100 Watts with a thousand output but I'm sure that's not exact I'm just trying to think of anything I did different one thing I did different was a few times just twice when I watered the plans I actually only put in a little bit I didn't flood it with water I didn't have a lot of runoff coming out of the bottom I don't think I had any runoff coming out of the bottom and I did that twice would that be a buildup of salt

It's absolutely not the equivalent of 1000 watts. Purely BS marketing.

No that’s not a build up of salt. You can’t build up salt with water only. That’s when your using salt nutes.

Model numbers are used to really muddle things up. Some will come away thinking a Model (Whatever) 2000 is 2000 watts or replaces 2000 watts HID.

I guess in organics you don't want the soil to dry out completely, but you also don't want it soaking wet all the time. How much and how often do you normally water them? Can you lift the pots, do they feel light? Does the soil still feel wet 3-4" down?

So do you think it's because I didn't run enough water through it see I was afraid that saturating the dirt too much would cause too much humidity I had that problem last time I'm just going to have to buy a stronger intake fan to move the air better but do you think that's what I got going on here you think that's just because I didn't run enough water through them so the salt is just sitting there I appreciate the help guys this is a great community

I run 12/12 from seed and use one gallon or a bit under containers. Lots of Folgers cans. Ran 2 and 3 gal before but I weigh my containers on a digital kitchen scale.

As others have said I think they are overwatered. Try what some people have said, lift the pots to get a feel for how heavy they are wet, then let they dry till they feel lighter and the soil is dry on top, slightly moist a couple inches down. Water till runoff, but in soil it doesn’t need to be lots of runoff, and water some, wait, then a little more to make sure all the soil gets water.

Holy shit, reading this is painful.
