It looks to me like maybe the ph of your feeding was off.

Plants can get droopy after they're watered. But that crazy leaf curl I associate more with ph troubles and/or feeding too much nitrogen.

I have been adjusting my pH unless my pH meter isn't good anymore.
Hmmm. A photo under natural light would help. If the ph is good then maybe it's too much N- Do they seem very dark green and the leaves have a sort of soft and lush appearance?
Some people would say overwatering. Maybe- but the leaves seem extra curly.
But in that case it's easily fixed -don't overwater.

well I seem to have worse news. I took pictures of what seems to be a deficiency or nutrient burn...
the other plants leaves look even more droopier and some leaves are twisted! what does this mean? should I flush?

I don't see N toxicity so much.
We need more info though. What medium are you growing in, what ph are you feeding and watering at? What type of water do you use? A pic of the twisted leaves?

I am growing in a mix of Fox farm ocean forest and promix bx and a little added perlite. I did not start feeding until around the middle of week 4 I believe. the ph I have been watering at is around 6.8 and I have only been using purified water using reverse osmosis filtration.
although the nutrient mix I fed the plants was light only 5ml pro bloom 5ml cal mag and a few ml of unsulphured molasses.
the next watering I gave them was plain 6.8 ph water last night no nutrients. I came home from work and seen they were not really drooping anymore and seen a huge difference. I was relieved of that and hope to see no more deficient leaves.
does anyone recommend giving it water one more time before giving it a light feeding?
this is how they looked today

well I don't understand with my white widow. I watered her today cuz she was dry to the bone and added 15 ml of botanicare organic pro bloom per gallon of water. I know the ph was good I adjusted and made it 6.6 but a few hours later and she was drooping again like this.
I am hoping it is just cuz of the watering and tomorrow she is back to normal

Looks like Nitrogen toxicity to me. What else are you giving her?

I have only been giving her light bloom nutrients and slowly working up to regular strength. I give a light cal mag feeding around once a week. Both plants seem to be doing better.
Thanks everyone for there help!

I think my next watering will just be some unsulphured molasses 5ml per gallon for both just in case my problem was nute burn in the one plant.

I was told dont wait till droop in flower to water. Water JUST before the droop in flower. I use the droop as a guide so I know Im not watering too much. Pot is supposed to dry out before water. Its not a wet plant. So wait till droop in veg and just before in flower.
Your operation looks great!!!
Happy Holidays!

I'm using about the same setup, same soil pretty much. My plants are in really bad shape, last feeding was straight pH water and now I've had the droop for about 3 days. I'm nervous I'm about to lose them.
