Why are my tops falling over.. Am I watering to much? I water once the pot feels light and dry.... The leaves look a lil different to.
Why?

Post up your setup
Medium type,lights,light distance, last two feeds,how much & often you water.
"Looks" like excess N.

Im growing in happy frog at the top and ocean forest at the bottom. I have a viparapectra par 450&par 600 over them. Last two waterings was with regular phd water. And i water whenever the pot feels dry and light. My lights are a good 18in aways the taller plant in the back is more like 12inch away from the light

Bro i dont even kno what you are talking about. I suppose this is why im having these issues. This is my first year growing, 1 year almost completed. Can you enlighten me?

Yea see I knew it was something goin on, the leaves started to look different. Ok so I know from now on... So how will this affect my plants? They're just starting to show pre flowers. Veg is just about over with?

I have a spring water well pump inside of my grow and the temperature almost all year long
is 50- right out of the hose end sprayer I use to water directly into the roots/pots of promix.
they grow fast and finish when supposed too
It shocks them into being the best weed we ever had in our lives every time I think !

it shocks them into being great? What are the mechanics of this?

I had to reverse engineer to come to this conclusion. I run a tight ship here except the only resource I dont control is watering temps so one might consider that as my weakest resource. You say it shocks them being that cold and I read that often. As my plants will grow to their limiting factor, their weakest resource provided- makes sense that the cold water is responsible for any limitations I may suffer resulting in my final product, which is totally awesome every time, so, must be the cold water right?
seriously though, I dont blame the cold water for anything. exactly nothing, I dont think it matters much unless extreme either way, and now I know 50 F is not extremely cold.

The cold water is likely slowing or halting growth for at least a couple hours while the pots heat back up.
Bet warmer water would increase your yield.

It's about 15 degrees below a safe uptake temp.

i wonder if the water is 50 when it hits the bottom of the container.
I used big tanks for some years before I installed the pump, Those sat inside a section of work grow space and stayed around 65 in the closed off space.
I would have continued to use them filled them from the well, that was my intention. but one year I used the spigot and watched closely....no negatives/positives either way for me. so I skip the pita tanks now for fresh water and use the space to store my promix.
maybe I'll do an ice watering grow and check this out....

Guess you have enough light and warmth to keep the medium from cooling down too much.
It's science. If it stayed 50 degrees the plant would start to shut down processes.
I wonder if it tricks the plant into earlier harvest?

My medicine man was the only one I'd say was an early finisher, the rest are within specs.
I saw the cold water detriment in my hydro cold water reservoirs for sure when they were buried
but always knew wouldnt matter to me in my soil
room temp-77 high 68 low
water going in was 51 F today,
promix top soil was 70-74 @ mid lights on
I stayed till run off and with a laser measured run off temp= 69-72
I get so lucky at this....
