Here are some pictures of an indoor young plant. Not in horrible shape but what causes the droopy leaves? I have NOT given any nutrients. It's in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil. I'm told that I shouldn't need any nutrients possibly until well into flower stage. I've also heard that OceanForest might actually be too strong (nutrient rich) for young plants. Anyhow, ideas on the droopiness? Watering problem? Nutrients?
Taken outside for photoshoot, but inside plant on 18/6 schedule.
Thanks!

Looks like overwatering. When you water, you should saturate the media and then not water again until its DRY. Without a proper watering cycle the roots aren't getting any oxygen and it's drowning the plant. Fill another cup full of the same soil but dry, the water when they weigh the same upon lifting.
 
Thank you all! I really appreciate the advice. I've transplanted to a bigger, darker pot and she looks better already. I figured transplanting takes care of the excess water and the clear cup in one shot. Plus I needed to transplant eventually anyhow. [How big before transplanting seems to be another subject that causes religious wars :)].
As you can see, I have a baby in a clear cup I need to do something with. I should have just put black tape around the cup when I transplanted the other, but now I'll have to wait until the end of the workday.
Cheers
P.S., she's now in a mixture of Fox Farms Ocean Forest, Lush (which is suppose to be like Happy Frog) and some peat moss.

Great job! I transplanted rather roughly because mine were a little bigger. It took me and the wifey to hold the roots together while we transplanted. It was an anxious ordeal but in the end they came out tough as a goose neck.

I also trained them and scrogged em a few weeks later too. Now they are into week 2 of flower. Be patient these plants are resiliant. Just make sure to go through your wet amd dry cycle thuroughly. and raise the bottom off the ground so air can get to the roots. Im no pro but the farm has helped me and im more than sure they will help you too! Looks good keep chuggin along!
