Hi im a new grower. and i am haveing some problem. well first off im growing in regular soil from outside. plant did great for the first couple mnths. and now she is on 12/12 for about 2 weeks now. i fed her 1/4 strength ff nutes for the first time the day before yesturday. and now the leaves are drooping. i have her in a 3 gal medium with a 150w hps and a fan blowing on her whT could be the problem. if some could help that would be great id hate too see her die.

Pics please. It could be as easy as more or less water. If stems are drooping watrr if soil seems dry.

I also trimmed and cut off fan leaves that were covering node sites the day before i used the nutes. could that be one of my problems?

Don't cut off fan leaves, you are stunting your plant growth. Use twist ties like you would find on bread bags to train your plants where to go. Only remove leaves from the plant if they are mostly dead and come off easily.
Also add perlite for better drainage if you have not already.

I don't forsee that being a problem green. I am a hydro guy myself but your really early in flowering so it should be no biggy.
