Maybe a little heat stress. Raise you light for a few days and let them dry out some. when they get about dry flush 2 times the amount of the pot with water only. Repot into bigger pots when they get straightened out.
Good Luck

White spots on the leaves are a tell-tale sign of spider mite damage. Check the underside of your leaves to make sure these nasty little arachnids haven't set up shop. They're difficult to see with the naked eye, so you may want to get a microscope to get a closer look. If you do find them, eradicate them quickly, because if left unchecked, they will destroy your crop in a matter of weeks.

thanks a lot.. ive raised it now :) should i check the temps at night? and what should they be at? 22 degrees celsius?
You can check the temps at night. should be about 10-15 F degrees difference, but less is OK 2.
I wouldn't worry to much about the night time temps. but more the day time temp. no higher than 82f during the day unless you use co2 then u can go higher

Do u have a fan raking across them during the day?

ermm yes ive got one or two fans.. should i be turning them off at night? and do you think around 19/20 degrees celsius is fine for a nighttime temp? or is that too low?

the drooping could be a few things root bound, over watering, over nute?
What dirt are you using? Transplanting will help greatly if the plant likes the dirt you're using!
I like to leave one fan on low at night and two on high during the day time~

i have got a 60x-100x microscope on the underside of my leaves and cant seem to see anything.. would they just be on one or two leaves or every leaf? if so ide have to check the majority of leaves correct?

If you feel your plants are root bound you could trasplant into bigger pot. I know mine love it when I do this.

How big are your pots how tall are the plants they look on the short side I don't think this is root bound drooping it looks more like over watering drooping. You been watering every day a little that's not the way to do it. Letting it dry out is the best love you can give to your plant. I water good then let it dry out good, till it starts acting like it needs it 5 days or more between waterings. When it comes to watering and nutes less is more. Your soil could be an issue too I don't like trying to mix nothing up like that. I won't even mess with my ffof I'll use it straight out of the bag adding nothing.

its just my compost was too hot and my last plants died because all i did was 50% perlite and 50% compost..

i havnt watered them for 2 days and it just looks asif the problem is getting worse, im going to flush and repot into bigger pots, they are only around 10" to 14" in pots at 9cm x 9cm x 9cm..

what pot size would you suggest?

Most grower start'em 18 oz cups then some grower go to a 1 gallon pot then a 5 gallon pot but then again other growers will go from 18 oz cups straight to the 5 gallon. But when you put a little plant in a 5 gallon pot you should give it just enough water to get going don't soak the dirt till the water is running out of the bottom. Don't soak'em till they're bigger and can take more water cause it will dry out faster with the plant bigger. Get a watering meter from lowe's or home depot get the $6 one that is just a moisture meter I still use one:lol:

Is it only the top leaves which are cupping? If so, it's definitely a heat issue. If your lights generate a lot of heat and they are too close to the plant, the leaves at the top of the plant will perspire faster than the stem can provide moisture. The leaves curl inwards to decrease their surface area, thus slowing perspiration. This is the plants defense mechanism to keep from drying out. Once you move the lights away and provide ample air circulation the plant will respond. Don't worry if these leaves remain deformed. As long as the new growth has normal leaf structure you're all good. I would suggest getting some fish emulsion from your local garden store. First, dilute it heavily with some water, then put the mixture into a spray bottle and mist away. This will help to moisturize the leaves, and provide some nutrients to your plants as well. I use a foliage spray such as this a couple times a week, while my plants are in the vegetative stage. Beware. Fish emulsion quite literally smells like crap, but the plants absolutely love it.
