Slight Droop after starting flowering

Hi All,

On my first grow currently and surprisingly everything has gone smoothly up until now, Plant was fine right through the veg stage. Switched to 12/12 about 3 weeks ago and she has started flowering, my only concern is the leaves have started slightly drooping as well as turned a very dark green colour, not sure if this is normal? otherwise, she looks healthy, Can anyone add their input here? There are also crispy spots on 3 or 4 of the leaves but seems isolated to one branch and rest of the plant is unaffected. really dont wanna mess her up now. Details and pics below:

Strain : Cindy99 - INDOOR
Medium : Vermiculite perlite mix (40/60)
current light cycle : 12/12
lights : 400watt HPS (plant is over 30cm away from light
Nutes: currently using 60% strength micro and bloom nutes
PH : 5.5 - 6.5
Watering: water every 3 or 4 days, adding nutes with every water

Crispy spots on leaves

Flush once really well and let dry out all the way. Just a build up, no worries bro.

thanks for the reply, So flush it with plain PH'd water? then leave to dry out then start watering with nutes again ?

Anyone else have any ideas ? not to sure about the flush as it is a soilless grow, would flushing it and leaving it to dry for days not deprive it of nutrients ?

looks like its had too much N, burnt tips and clawing, over watered

I'm new too, but seems you made same mistake. Everywhere I read stated to feed on every other or third watering. Need a flush. I did a flush when I had that problem in veg then went to every other wate for feed, and they got better.

Are you getting run off each time you water? your drainage hole/s are not clogged up?

Did you change the light/location when you started flowering?

Remember flowering plants will typically need less water than vegging. At least not as frequent.
