Need help diagnosing plants

I have several branches weaved thru the net that would be atleast 8 or 10 inches taller than the others and i spread the plants out thru it so the lower branches have somewere to grow up,
 
A couple branches arent quite flimsy enough to comfortably weave, should I squeeze the branch, I think people call it super crop or something

Gotchya, thanks, that info helps. I wouldn't be surprised if youved started to accumulate some pythium. The spots are deficiency, which can be caused by damaged/rotting roots. Another indicator it might be fungal is that it started in one and has now propagated to the rest. Pythium thrives in moist soil. Another stress sign is the drooping, which in my experience 9/10 times is over watering.
My advice, only water the plant when you stick your index finger all the way down so your remaining knuckles are in the dirt, and when you pull your finger out no dirt is sticking to your finger. Then water the shit out of it. It should take at least 3 days for that to happen, if not longer. Feed 1 time per week. They're well developed plants and should have no problem in recovering tbh.
 
I've been reading some posts that are just not accurate. So you should definitely do some research, but root systems absolutely need access to oxygen. If your root system is constantly wet with stagnent/devoid of dissolved oxygen/water, you will suffocate the plant. In a bucket that is 10 inches deep the top 7 inches should be dry before watering, approximately.
 
I'm going to water a little heavier because I dont normally get any run off, just 32 oz per plant, 64oz will barley let any run off, it just wasnt a problem until recently but they have developed alot and it makes since they need more food, I also believe they will suffocate if I feed daily, maybe skip Monday and Thursday or something, the droop was from them being dry earlier, the are a few leaves curling under tho

They're growing in coco not soil. You don't want to let coco dry out. It should be treated more like hydro than soil.
 
I watered earlier and they seem to be looking up besides the leaves that actually curl

However you want to do it. It's your grow. Typically people start training plants well before they get that size if they're going to be growing SCROG style.

Good luck.

Just use twist ties to loosely tie the branches to the net. I do that for full fledged ScroG all the way. Then I can easily re-position a branch if I want to. You only need 2 or 3 pieces of wire at each branch end then move them forward as the branch grows.

I agree, i should have started sooner, now I'm just keeping the plants away from the light, its 30 inches above the net, I never get it quite right but the net always becomes useful

Yes do that,i also have 3 gallon pots,i water sometimes twice a day.This keeps the runoff ppm similar to what im feeding.If i miss a day my 700 ppm feed comes out at over 1000.If say you dont water to runoff say 3 days your runoff water tends to be quite high.Ive had 1800 ppm runoff before.Its good to check every once and a while so you know if your watering enough.

Water and feed daily. The more you let them dry the more they will droop on you.
