Are you talking about the new growth being lighter or the droop? New growth looks normal.
Try adding another day between watering.and also how long have they been in those pots? Check the roots and I’d also start using some cal/mag/iron .
I’m in foxF soil as well also with Humboldts secret neuts and water every 5th day. Currently in 3gal. I also added perlite , fox farms can be a little muddy if you water too frequently. Gl :joint:

I’m talking about the new growth being kinda deformed and skinny looking, they’ve been in those pots for atleast 2 weeks I’d say, I do have some cal-mag I’ll start adding next time I feed. What do you mean by check the roots?

When the new growth is kinda tobacco/lettuce looking, I consider that a very healthy plant. Those are just gonna be huge fan leaves.

They look good to me.

Check roots as in they may need to be up potted .

Ok if just put in them 2 weeks ago they arent bound yet. But they want more room for roots. 1 gallon pots should be bone dry every day. How quick they going dry?

They go dry every 2-3 days or so I haven’t watered them in 2 days and they’re still pretty heavy like they still aren’t dry

I personally think they look vigorous. My buddy gets much wrinklier plants in veg like this, and they always veg faster than mine. He uses silica and hortilux t5's in dwc. I don't think it's rootbound. I get leaves like that too, but ONLY after transplant.

My plants are definitely more likely to be rootbound (1l airpots) and they only get leaves like that if I put them in larger pots. In fact, I swear that my pot size gives me tiny fan leaves.

I personally think when the leaf looks like that, they are just preparing to be the size of a baseball glove, like the lower fans in your pic. I think it looks good, maybe a little tip burn if anything, which can also be kinda good.

I wouldn't change anything.

I'm not certain about any of this, but I am always happy to see leaves just like that.
