Flowering: Day 20.. Strange problem, leafs falling off, center leafs drooping

I am currently in day 20 flowering. Im using just under the recomended amount of nutrients, Fox farm ocean forest soil and CFLs.

For the past few weeks the lower leafs on my plant have been incredibly weak. Some shrivel up and die, and others just fall off. The rest of the plant has been growing great. I thought the plant could be root bound, so I transplanted into larger containers maybe 3-4 days ago. The problem has not changed. Now the new leafs along the main stem are all drooping.

Could it be over/underwatering? Since I switched to the larger containers it is hard to tell how much water to give them. Any suggestions would be great, Id love to fix this problem before it becomes to much worse. Here are some pics

the bottom leaves normally start to fall off and die...as long as the rest of the plant is green you should be good...

Lack of Light and the soil seems dry enough for you to water again.. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, Would lack of light be the reason for drooping leaves? I am using 7.5 gallon pots, if i feed them every other day is there any estimate as to how much water i should give them?

7.5 gallon seems off... i use 3 gallon pots.. and i give them 2 litre of water every day.

Ya they are pretty big pots. They are actually trash cans lol. It was all they had at the store. Can the pots be too big? I figured that since they grow in the ground with no boundaries, this would be fine. The leaves are still droopy on the main stem, its very weird. Only the smal ones right along hte stem are droopy, the rest look very healthy. It grew a little last night but not near as much as usual. Any ideas? Could it need more airflow? I know its getting fresh air but it doesnt have a fan blowing directly on it.

If your roots dont have time to fill up all the space well that can be a waste of dirt.. and space. Ventilation up in the will NOT hurt, and they are done growing... all they can do now is just fatten those buds up.. the plants will reach maximum height after you switch to flower and that takes no longer then 15 days so thats why its not growing much anymore. Good luck Sir.
