Have two Bear Assed monkey female autos that sprouted Dec 31 under a HLG 150 in a 2x2 tent. Both plants are currently in fox farms ocean forest soil in 3 gal pots. Watered lightly yesterday, afterwards noticed very slight dropping in stature of only one plant. Am I overthinking it or is there more I should pay attention to. Temp stays at 75-78 and 40-45% humidity. 2nd pic is most recent.

Slight drooping after watering isn't worrisome. It usually can be avoided by watering slowly. Also be sure the soil dries between waterings. How often are you watering?

You look okay. You don’t let water stand in the catch pans for any period of time do you?

I had a couple runs that looked that way. I think they look cold. I raised my temp to 82 with the lights on and it looked more happy. I’ve realized that every plant is different. Some like hot and some like cold. Same with nutes and light…. Etc….

its worth checking the soil temps, i use a cheap aquarium thermometer,. I had problems for nearly 2 years indoors and it was because my soil was too cool, as soon as i put a small greenhouse heater in there, everything changed, 100% germination and normal growth

You’re keeping them too wet, my friend and pots that size you shouldn’t be watering but every 4 to 5 days maybe even six depending on the amount of roots that are in the dirt judging by the sizes of your plants there’s not much
If you take a look at your plant, you can see how the innermost portion of your leaves are lighter green and then the tips are darker green all the way around too much water content my friend pretty soon you’re gonna start to get the end of your leaves, hooking downward

Copy that, I will wait 3-4 days and water again, I had someone on a different forum tell me I shouldn’t spray mist the plants either, I now know that as well and will refrain from doing so.

Consider root growth when watering during vegetation. Soil dries from the top down, so the lower soil will still be moist when the upper soil is dry. Roots seek water (hydrotropism). So, as the soil dries, roots will seek moisture and grow deeper. That's what we want, especially for the flowering stage. Too frequent watering prevents it from happening.
