Ok as far as the droopy lazy leaves, I know everyone is going to say over or under watering.
I water ever 3 days, the soil is still pretty moist up until that third day.
400wMH on 18/6 schedule.
Temps from 63F to 80F with a few days a little higher and one night a little lower.
No nutes, but they are in MG so they are getting some nutes.

I have used 4 drops of apple cider vinegar in a 2 liter jug to lower PH of my tap water, I did this once then didn't use the vinegar then did it again, I was going to do it every other time but I just may stop all together now. Could it be using it then stopping that is doing this?
Please any help.

looks like your soil is dry. do the finger test, stick your finger 2 inches into the soil and see if its moist or dry. if its moist you probably should let it dry out a few days because your soil might be locking in water. but if its dry then it could be under watered.
 
Yeah but the top of my soil always dries out b/c it's hot and windy in the closet, but the soil in the bottom is still moist.
 
You may be watering your plants too much. You shouldnt water everyday, maybe twice a week at most for how small your plants are. Are you using chemicals? if so try watering it once without the chems...
 
I used MG, and no chemicals.
I'm careful not to over or under water, like I said Usually every 3 days.
Not sure what the prob is,
personally I think its PH, but I still like other opinions
Thanks Yrteop
 
go out to walmart and get a cheap ph tester thats the only way to find out for sure w/o killing them. What type of MG did you use?
 
When my plants were that small I would water only about once every 5 days or so. Moisture meters are also pretty inexpensive, you could pick one of those up, although I've never needed one. You just have to get to know your plant and how often it needs watering/howe much. ya know?
 
I used MG potting mix, feeds for 3 months, 21-7-14

They were all pretty dry today, which was a water day.
If it was under watering, how long till they perk back up after being watered?
 
They perk up soooo fast. My plant got droopy at one point, let it go for a day and it got worse so i decided it was under-watered. Fed it a gallon of water, watched some tv, came back and BOOM, she looked healthier than ever
