Do you have any pictures? It is hard for me to figure out the problem without pictures. BUT, a tell tale sign of droopy leaves could be a sign of over watering. How often do you water? Do you let the medium dry a bit in between waterings? Is it constantly wet to touch? What is your Humidity at in your room ? If you post pictures, I will be glad to help you out for real...as right now I am just speculating.

On a side note, For soiless mix, I suggest flushing your soiless mix with water ph'd to 5.8. Continue feeding nutes at 5.8 ph.

Your plants are just going to sleep, assuming the are perked back up in the morning. I assume your lights are also intense/close. Some strains really hit the days limit faster then others. Remember a lot of people growing indoors keep the lights on longer then the plants were breed to be in the light cycle before going to sleep (dark cycle)

looks pretty good.. just a little clawing though i would back off on the nutes just a little before something worse happens

Pretty sure that this is a common things when you've let the plant dry out for a bit, then when u water it, it hangs for a bit.. Wait a day and they'll be fine, it happens to me when I give them water after letting them dry for a while.

Those look great now. I have the same droop happen if I wait too long between watering, fix that by watering a tad sooner(In my experience).
I haven't had any stress related problems due the the droop either fyi and my current crop is on week 5 of flower.

Thks bro yea I think my droop came from a combo of the light being to strong and to long a wait between waterings I chalk it to learning i just changed to soiless it a new but appreciated change Im a Month a half in veg I plan on starting flower in two weeks I picked up sum bud blood I'm not to into advanced nutes but thought I'll try it
