Hey guys , I have 3 girls around 32 days from being seeded in the soil . I did my first topping 3 days ago and ever since this girl in the back has been dropping yet the other two were thriving . The first two pictures of the close up tops are from the healthy looking girls. The last pictures are the droopy one.

I think it’s the genetics and how well it takes to being stressed after topping as she still has her leaves closing the top site.

They are doing great. I shakes most plants up when you top them. Double check that your not over watering.
They all look like hey will be fine.

I'm seeing some canoeing. Color is a little light.
What are you feeding?
What light do you have, how high above the plants?
Looks like they could use a little phosphorus. Maybe double check your PH.

They were started in FFOF and I was expecting them to be angry but they thrived, the transplant into FFOF was done so it should have tons of nutes for them to utilize. I've been using primo water , the kind from like Walmart and Homedepot (prefilled if that matters), they say there is a 6.28 ph gurantee but I check most times and it sits at 6.2 on my ph tester from bluelabs.

For the light I've been using a KesparSpectra ks2500 which is recommended for 3x3 which I have one that reaches 6ft. I've been following their PPFD map so through seedling it was 50% at 18 inches for an average of 400ppfd in the center, since vegetation it recommends 18 inch at 75% for a 580-600 ppfd in the center of the tent. I've been raising them about a click or two on the ratchet hangers a day (half an inch or less?). They seem to grow well with and they have decent internodal spacing (unless too close is a problem.)


Seeing the chart, my ph could be too low for that phosphorus so would you suggest adding ph up to a 6.5?

Thanks for the response and sorry i've been busy all day.

EDIT: since they were little it started around 100ml and has gone up, since veg theyre around <600~ ml and I fear overwatering so my run off might be even a little less than 15% or so. I had been using a 300ml measuring bottle to feed that primo water and this most recent watering was a bottle and a half to two bottles.
 
maybe turn your light down a lil or raise it a few inches
