What are you growing them in exactly? I see rockwool and soil? They don't look too bad but it seems to be a trace element deficiency.
You need to gradually feed them a food with added trace elements. The droopy leaves are either from high temps or the roots are too wet, or a combination of both. You need to give extra info if you want solid advice though.
Good luck

I think you are basically OK. Possibly more light would be of help, and you might be slightly over-watered, but I don't agree with your description of your plants being very sick.
The plants may also change their leaves some, as they approach flowering.

1000w mh. it is positioned perfectly. i have three new clones, 2 sour d and 1 bubba kush. they seem to be in the beggining stages of a problem too so it has to be the feeding. maybe ph problem or something.

Some advice.. You need to invest in bigger pot/s, 5 or 7 gal minimum if you wanna grow proper bud in soil. Then transplant that biatch of a rockwool cube INTO the soil, not on TOP. (making sure to take the plastic off the sides of the rockwool) That is where you are having probs with droopy leaves ie watering too much. You can't properly judge watering requirements if you have rockwool on top and then soil at the bottom.
If you are feeding every how many cups a day you said you were feeding, and their roots are now in soil, you are drowning them hence droopy leaves.
While your soil is still wet, the roots in the rockwool dry out... then keeping the rockwool moist is making your soil too wet....See where im going with this?
With a 1k mh that plant wants to sent it's roots through the foundation of your house lol trust me..So they want more space in soil. Hydro is a diff story.
I would also suggest feeding much less than you are currently feeding, if you're planning on carrying on using soil, you WILL fry them this way.
If you already have a nice setup with proper lighting and what not, why make things so difficult for yourself?
Good luck,

No it's a trace element def. like I said in the beginning of this thread. Iron or zinc. But that's not the main prob here.
