Possibly overwatering that can cause drooping leaves

@Kiwigreen I agree…It does usually end up being overwatering if no other obvious issues. Make sure you’re letting your dry back period happen. Get used to the weight after it’s fully watered. Don’t water it again until it’s half of that weight. Naturally, this period will change quickly over the plants life. And you’ll have to adjust as it goes along. It will resolve itself Quickly, just letting it dry back properly before watering. Cheers !!!
Edit- watering is the easiest thing that we all mess up on even the best gardener says dam I over watered yesterday lol…

Clawing may be also caused by an excess of Nitrogen, check that …

Let her dry back almost fully before watering again. Dry back is critical. Good luck

Pot soil…1st grow hermed on me 2 plants seeded bad. Other 3 good but not dense few seeds …thank u
Probably overwatereing. If so it should look normal (non-droopy) in a week or so. You can speed up the soil drying a bit with a small fan pointed at the soil for a day or 2.
I don’t think in this case it’s too much N, as these leaves look “flat” vs. too much Nitrogen causing a “claw” or upside-down “canoe” look.

How often are you watering in those fabric pots?My first gut feeling was nitrogen overload it can cause clawing like that but it goes more twords the leaf tips that looks like the sad face whole leaf bowing down caused by overwatering.I can see by the top of your soil unless you just watered it looks pretty hydrated to me.Also have you cranked your light up recently?Sometimes too much light can cause a slight droop too at first.Either cut back on the nitrogen let her dry back a bit or turn the light down a touch is my guess i concure with the consensus.This one can be fixed

Chances are you’ll have fungus gnats laying eggs in ya soil and the larve eat the root system in turn making the plants sick they like damp soil I’m unsure what you have access too where you are but taNLin drops work good also can use mosquitoe bits/chunks hopefully someone else can chime in with what you have access to

Stickey traps wouldn’t go amiss either and turn fans up to make hard for them too fly

What are you feeding? How often? Potting soil from MiracleGro or Roots or Fox Farms or what kind of soil is in the pot? The more information you provide the better to see you with…whew red riding hood, my bad. Lights? Air? Genetics?
Peace
With soil, far better to err on the side of under watering, than over watering.

I would say its slightly over watered, plant to pot size says the root system is no where near filling that pot. I would suggest giving it less water per watering.

That’s a good point, you have to water according to the plant size, not the pot …
