Clawed and thin new growth, drooping plant.

Hey guys I feel like I tried everything with this lady and she doesn’t seem to be looking much better. Growing in a mixture of ff happy frog and ff ocean forest. It’s a GSC auto flower. My soil ph is spot on. I’m in the beginning of week 5 and she’s been super droopy since week 3 but has recovered a bit. Gave her her first feeding Sunday night of 1ml go bio grow 1ml bio marine and .5ml cal mag mixed in a liter of water. Thought I was over watering her at first that didn’t help then thought it was wind burn and that slightly helped but didn’t take care of the problem. Sitting 15 inches below my light. I’m baffled what are y’all’s thoughts?

Still looks like a watering/root issue to me. If they were overwatered it can be difficult, sometimes the roots may already have gotten pythium, or you go a few days and you think surely it's ok now, but the plant gets locked out and isn't drawing up hardly any water your only loss is evaporative which leaves centers of soils still very wet. I'm not incredibly experienced indoors, but that looks like a watering/root issue to me.

Looks like too much water to me. Use the same container of dry soil in there for reference so you can lift it in comparison to your plants pot weight.

She does seem to be drinking a good amount of water still and putting on some growth. I’m starting to think that something may be going on in the root zone. Also I have been watering when the pot feels “lights” I’ve got two other pots in there to compare.

Is your soil reused? And I see they are sitting in plastic runoff catchers. Do you have risers? Are you watering to run off, and are you removing runoff?

New soil. I put risers in last week. Water till there’s just a little run off. About a liter to a liter and a half. For a 5 gallon pot.

did you mean a gallon to a gallon and a half? a liter to a liter and a half shouldn't get any runoff

also what kind of lights are you using?

Definitely overwatering don't water to runoff until roots are more established. You can foliar feed a couple times until it's better

Nope liters is what I meant. I was watering less when it was a seedling no run off then. The light I’m running is a hlg 260w rspec v2 and I’m running it at full power.

I keep my hlg 26”-30” above canopy any closer and I have problems then again I have the 600RSpec, not sure about the 260. Also I find that my plants like 18/6 over 20/4 or 24/0 in veg
