My plants are drooping every 3 days

So I noticed drooping leaves, thought it was over watered…nope, definitely wasn’t under watered either. I have nutrient filled soil and I’m in week 3 of flowering now. SO! I added half the nutes I normally would and the next day they perked up. 3 days later same thing… I knew they needed water this time so I watered them and the leaves still stayed droopy. I was weary of giving nutes, but I gave another small dose and next day perked up again. So this has been happening for the last 3 weeks or so after even giving full nutrient dose. I feel like this is not normal but if anybody has noticed this before or has advice on the situation, because I def don’t want a lockout or nutrient burn this stage in flower but the plants keep drooping even after watering about every three days

Got a pic? Are the whole leaves drooping or are the leaves curling like claws?

They’re just drooping like they were overwatered but they’re not overwatered

It sure sounds like typical watering cycle behavior. Can you give support ticket info posted above please

Its definitely not over watered. Soil was dry as a bone and normally they perk back up if underwatered. I’ve done the trial and error and they only seem to perk back up after a dose of nutes, but 2 times per week seems like too much

Will send pics when light cycle changes

What’s light schedule on off? 8 weeks old and in 3 gallon pots and your PPMs seem awfully low for soil at that age as well. Really need to see some pics but my guess is they actually are hungrier than what you’re providing. Do you have runoff PPMs? That would answer the question.
