Probably over watered. But it can also be the opposite so its up to your to figure that out... the rust spots can occur from over watering as well. But typically those come from a calcium deficit. looks like she was also hungry for nitrogen before hand too.. not much you can do now except wait till your next water and add some nutrients. Make sure everything's on point because the damage won't go away.

Upon further review im unsure on the N def. The leaves look dark and clawing. Your probably locking stuff out or something from over or underwatering. Nobody here is going to be able to help you unless you know exactly when you watered, tempetures, nutes. Id slurry test the soil but honestly its hard to say. The leaves drooping is bad though like I said thats either under or over watered, in this case it APPEARS to be over watered. Wigging out isn't going to help either. They look mostly healthy just leave them alone until you know for a fact they need water. The bottom most leaves will start to wilt bad then you know for a fact it needs water.

My guess is overwatering. They look more droopy then wilting. The leaf stems still have turgor, by the looks from the pics.

How often are you watering?

I've been giving old timer bloom wich is organic right and I was led to believe that it's hard to overfeed organic notes but thought maybe it could be that and over watering I'll take the advice and leave it three days to water and just give 1.5 litres its been warm today si pots dried out a bit and she's looking a lot healthier today

You can def. Over do organics especially if thats a liquid organic feed. I steer newer growers away from organics because it can be hard to navigate without prior experience. If those nutrients aren't broke down (aka in salt form "nitrates" like the bottled synthetic stuff) then your going to want your top soil to stay slightly moist for the microbes to break it down and stay active. It gets into a long lesson of how soil works and all that that goes into it.

Besides all that keep posting here and tag me ill help you. You can keep the top soil moist without actually watering the plant. Pay attention to her. When her leaves are pointed up and praying she is loving it. Watch for when they start to droop, this is what it looks like when you should be ready to water soon. But at the same time, over watering does the same thing. The only difference is when they don't have enough water, eventually they start to look deflated or crinkly. A over watered plant leaf will almost look like its too heavy and drops down but doesn't actually "wilt" and get crinkly. If you get to either of those points your plant can come back but know that you dealt some damage and imo could possibly have lost some size or potential overall. Its not a big deal but I like to be perfect.

How far is your light above the canopy?? Too much light intensity can trigger the leaves to droop……plus the heat from a HPS is more significant, so that’s a factor as well. Lowering the intensity might help…..
