Hey mate,
Get a moisture meter for the soil... I think you are watering too much and that's why your leaves are drooping.. If that is the case, the soil moisture meter will help you to see when you want to water... just as the soil is going dry from moist. You will notice your leaves lift up and look a lot more vibrant. Hope this helps you out. Good luck.

Also, as far as nutrients go, I find nutrients in a few stores where I live that are not Hydro stores. I find some nutrients in big hardware/garden stores. I'm not in the US so I couldn't tell you what stores you have there.. In OZ we have Bunnings (I don't buy there although if I couldn't buy anywhere else it would be a last resort, they stock boost juice, canna a+b and quite a few other things in Bunnings).

hey also i herd you would be better to start seedlings in say one of those jiffy starters the just potting them straight in to your soil is that true

Your plants are a few weeks in and most of the leaves look droopy to me.. So I think your watering too much... Usually new growth shouldn't be droopy either... it isn't bad if just new growth is a little droopy either but there is room for improvement if you see watering issues. I wouldn't be worried by the way, it's just an observation that they could be healthier, doesn't mean they are going to die... unless you over water more possibly.

As far as those jiffy pod things go.. I heard they are OK. Get the coco ones... If I couldn't get those ones I'd just stay clear and start in rockwool that has been flushed with PH'd water... or just a plastic cup (not see through) with a small hole in the bottom filled with coco or a premix/perlite/sand mix. Try not to use straight premix or soils as some may burn seedlings, some contain fertilizers, so you want to weaken them with sand, and perlite for aeration. I stick to Canna Coco, maybe even add a little perlite to that too but not necessary.

Do you own a 300zx? If so, so do I :)

I wouldn't worry so much, get a moisture meter for like $10 at a garden store and then you will see if your watering too much, you might not be, how often do you water? Depends on temps, how big the pots are and how thirsty/healthy your plants root system is, but I would water every 2 to 3 days at that size in soil depending on those criteria.
