Why are the tips of my leaves pointing straight down?

Hello all! The leaves on one of my girls has leaves that are pointing straight down. I've been using nutes every other watering, and only about a third to just under half of the recommended amount.

I think tips pointing down is overwatering. Let her dry out before watering and see if she improves. Good luck and happy growing.

Maybe cut down on the watering and let the soil dry out and stop giving nuts for a week or so and see how they respond

Drooping leaves towards top of flowering
My Jack Herer Leaves are drooping towards the top of the flowering area. Not sure what this is? Over or under watering? Light stress? Temps are 27c and 52%H so nothing out of the the ordinary pH is always in the middle 6 area.,.

Growing out instead of up.
Please help out! I moved it into a new pot and topped it last week as suggested. Also new ViparSpectra light at 45cm away @80% power. Nutrients/food yet to arrive. It seems to just be growing out instead of up, and starting to see some white/ burnt looking spots. Suggestions?

Leaves curl on upper new growth and mid but not lower.
I’m using the canna coco line except boost, looks like phosphorus deficiency. I just lowered my a and b 0.7 ec and added 0.3 of pk for a total of 1.0. Is this phosphorus deficiency and do you think my changes will help. Leaves are a little dark shinny and the shape is odd.

Yellowing on GT and clawing on CB
I'm seeing an issue with Ghost Toof. The lower leaves are burning it seems. It looks like it could be a K(Potassium) issue, or possibly nutrient burn. Also, Chem Bear seems to claw quite a bit. I don't think I'm overwatering... so maybe a Nitrogen issue?

What is wrong with these plants?
I can't recognize what is happening with the two Gelato plants I have going. The lower leaves are curling down around the edges and all leaves are drooping. Can't figure out if it's over or under watering or some other issue. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Stunted plants - Any solution left?
