Hi, I'm completely new to growing, and I have a problem I can't identify. The leaves on 1 (one) of my 3 plants droop pretty badly during the day and "mostly" recover at night (although still a little droopy). The other plants don't do this at all.
I'm lighting 18/6, with about 11 or 12 hrs of the 18 being outside and then 6 or 7 hrs under cfl, then 6 off (going to have to switch to all cfl soon as they are almost too big [10-12"] to remain unnoticed by the neighbors).
Medium is 60% peat, 20% perlite, & 20% vermiculite in 16" pots. I "shake & bake" mixed them in a large plastic bag to make sure they were well mixed. My grow space is well ventilated, humidity and temps are good, and is free of any problems being newly constructed.






As you can see in images 1 & 2 (the same plant), and the leaves are kinda of wavy looking, and feel slightly papery/dry. The other images are my other 2 plants, which look like they're doing OK.
All get same light, food (Technaflora BC Boost, BC Grow, Thrive Alive B-1 RED, MagiCal, Sugar Daddy) in the recommended amounts for vegging, same water etc, but the one looks off. Feed and water 3 day cycle is day 1 feed, day 2 water, day 3 water. This being a "soil-less" setup, I think this is the right cycle. Also, when I water the oddball, a little of the water runs from the drains in the pots, but does not in the others. Again the perlite and vermiculite are well mixed, and in the correct amounts, but it seems I have more run-off from the oddball's pot.
Any suggestions what could be going on with the oddball?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
