I feed both plants the same using same medium and lights but it seems like one of the plants leaves are drooping a friend said it could be strain because the leaves and stem are strong not soft and don't look like it is a problem just wanted to check in here for advice..using coco perlite and vermiculite. The first 2 pics is the droopy plant and second 2 are the ak47 that's doing great

If it was mine, I would check the ph of the soil/water, If the ph is good she will definitely need nitrogen. I've grown fond of Alaskan fish emulsion for a quick fix. Also did you amend the soil?

I usually use the alaskan fish as a band-aid. I amend with Dr Earth dry amendments using the same style as Canucks grows

What point in the light cycle was the picture taken? they droop at the start and the end. If its not the issue it could be your light and the strain just not handling the light well. How close is your light?? whats the dimmer set at??

IMO (I'm a first timer using Coco too this run) looks like they need watered more often, top pic for sure. If your already feeding i would say its PH issue, if your not feeding yet I would say that's it and to water more often, like once a day at least. Coco looks dry to me.

Need to water every other day AT LEAST most people do it several times a day but me I understand its annoying. And raise the light up 12 extra inches. If those two things dont help then raise the light another foot. less is more in veg . got to gradually build them up to take the intensity of a grow light.
