Hi mate, the first thing that come to mind when i saw your leaves is overwater. This droopiness to me is a sign that the plant in not getting oxygen. From the large fan leaf on the pic see that there is also a ph imbalance. So my course of action would be, first to let the soil dry out, and see if the leaves go back to their normal position (like praying) all up. Then I would flush the medium with a phed water. If all go well those leaves that were affected wont recover but the plant will

Thanks @AmnZhz - I'll try laying off the water on these girls going forward. I flushed these with pH'd water this morning so hopefully I they start turning around over the next couple days.

Thanks for the tips Ecogeek. Question on the gnats - did you see them before you put down the yellow tape? I've tested the pH and TDS and both are in my expected range. I just swapped out my vent fan this week, perhaps a more normalized environment will do the trick.

Not quite sure but I have the same thing happening to mines, at 1st thought it was gnats or some type of insects so I did the yellow sticky tape and some other techniques after a week they were gone! Thought the coloration would improve but hasn't come to find out I've been cold/heat shocking them (it's winter time here so temps in tent would drop below 60 degrees in turn I would turn the heater on rasing temp to 80-88 at the high in the matter of minutes. So my girls didn't seem to like that much. šŸ˜¢ Now I keep the fan on while running heater as well as the vent window. That helped keep temps H 80 & L 65ish. I also used Epsom salt and water to boost the chlorophyll back up to get the leave back green. She seems fine now. So it could be temperature inconsistencies or insects. But just as a backup check your pH levels in both water & medium runoff.
