Hello,
This is my first grow.
I am using Crop King Seeds, growing 2 Blue Cookies and 2 White Banners in Pro Mix HP (soilless) with Dyna Gro's Foliage Pro nutrients in a 4x4 grow tent with a 315w CMH light.
Current temperatures stay between 25º-28º with humidity between 45-60. Air is circulated using two 7" fans (without blowing directly on the plants) and there is a 6" exhaust fan to ensure old air is removed so fresh air keeps coming in.
These plants were put into the medium on July 9th and 11th, two of which are growing bigger and faster than the rest, their tap roots sprouted quicker.
I think they're pretty small for where they should be.. I made a few mistakes at the beginning, not using pH water while they were seedlings for the first 2 weeks and also had bad drainage and poor lighting, but since then, all that has been fixed. They all started to grow quite nicely, until the last few days that is.
It seems the White Banners are the ones really struggling as my biggest Blue Cookies still looks quite nice to me. The smaller one got some dirt on the leaves while transplanting and it ended up drying them out so I snipped them off. I'll be sure to not leave and dirt behind in the future.
Long story short, I have made a point to not overwater, only watering when the top 3/4-1" is dry, though at the same time, I don't think I've been underwater either. It takes about 4 days for them to dry out each time.
Their two last feedings took place 4 days apart, once using 4ml foliage pro per gallon pH at 5.98, the next (today) I gave them 2.8ml per gallon pH at 6.45. I gave less nutrients because I'm not sure if I over did it for their size last time. I haven't been watering to 20% run off because I thought they were a little too small to be doing so in the 1g fabric pots they're in.
Anyways, my White Banner plants are droopy, more so each day. The new growth on the biggest plant is coming out relatively yellow as well in comparison to my other plants.
I'm here for advice on what could be wrong and what I should do to prevent my first few ladies from dying on me!
Thank you all for the help!
(First 2 pictures show White Banner on July 31st, the rest are from August 6th)

You will also find that your pot will dry out faster when you make it run off. It's a gravity thing. How soon you will transplant should decide how often you water till run off. Its nice to thoroughly water every time but it eats the nutrients up much faster. You're looking good though either way.
