There healthy and they look good but there does look like an underlying problem, I would give it a day or two more before watering, try lifting the pots as you want them to fell light before watering.
I would not worry about it as it often happens to me and don't cause any long turn problems

Over/underwatering
Easiest way to tell. Basically plants hold their form and leaves out by water pressure. If there is too much water in the leaf, it gets weighed down by it because the petiole cannot support the weight. It feels thick and full.
If the plant is under watered there is not enough pressure to hold the leaves up and, like a deflating balloon, they start to feel limp and lifeless.
I had a prob where it seemed like over watering, but they were also showing mute probs(lighter growth). fed them and they perked right up.

wow there looking amazing, very bushy, just shame they haven't perk up yet
time to flower them off
change the light cycle over to 12/12 and when the light off you need to make sure there no light getting to the plants
you could pot them up into larger pots before flowering if you want but give them a few days to settle in before flowering

good to see you mate
wow if you keep growing like this you will be teaching me how to grow soon lol
ok when you switch the plants over to flower, they will stretch like mad in week 2-3
so you will need to lift the plants so the tops of the canopy stays the same height at all times ( all 3 plants)
use video cases, pots etc
if you can hang a fan at one side of the room so it points slightly up at the light to remove the hot air from the canopy as this will really help.
you want to keep the canopy temps 25-30c but your canopy temps can go up to 35c without any problems
canopy temp is the highest part of the canopy (top of the plants) under the center of the hood
try and get the hood 16" above the canopy, but keep a close eye on canopy temps and humidity ( 30-60 is ok but ideal humidity is 40 )

your welcome mate

its better to hang the fan so its 12" below the hood on one side of the room so it can remove most the heat from the 600w
the close you get the hood to the top of the canopy the more bud your going to grow
but at the same time the environment has to be good ( temps and humidity )
my temps are between 29-34c and the humidity is between 31-40, the hoods 14" above the canopy and i am 24 days in flower 12/12
here's a one of the plants in the wardrobe
