Hello there, beginner grower here. My plants are now in week 6 veg and have been looking amazing the past few weeks. As of yesterday, they all look a little sad. I watered about twice a week with half dose of BioBizz organic fertilizers. Thanks for your help

to much food causing lockout. The leaf end curling down like that is nitrogen toxicity. and the inter veignal chlorides is a Magnesium deficiency caused by a lockout( to much food) Plagron Royalmix has 6-8 weeks of food in it. And your feeding twice a week. Stick with just water for another few feedings. Fully saturate the soil and let it dry to 2" below the surface before watering again. Your schedule should be water,water,feed,water,water,feed. I see you have EC/PPM listed. Test your EC going in when you water, Collect the runoff and test the EC coming out. They should be close to the same. If not then adjust.( In=Higher, Out = Lower - increase EC if the EC going out is higher then reduce your feed. or water only until it gets back to normal levels( could be salt buildup ) Good luck and Happy Growing.

The drooping leaves make me think your watering is a bit off - I certainly don't see any sign of a deficiency and so am a little perplexed as to why you're giving her calmag... if you maintain the pH level you've got, the regular nutes will have enough calcium and magnesium in them and unless you've given them a bit too much nitrogen and caused a lockout, they shouldn't have any problems. If you have overloaded her with nitrogen (I don't see it), that will cause a lock out but the solution to that is not to throw calmag at her, you'd have to flush, then cut back on the nitrogen-rich nutes going forward... But droopy leaves like that indicate either over-watering or underwatering and if you're only giving them 1/3 gallon of water every day, this tends to make me think they're being underwatered. You need to lift the pot every day to see if it's lightweight and if it is, give her a drink (or nutes depending on where she is in your water/feed/water/feed schedule). Don't say "Oh, this is Saturday, I need to give her water." Let the plant tell you when it needs something. And when you water, make sure you're getting at least 10-20% runoff and check the pH of that runoff, too... If you don't get the runoff, you're enabling nutes and salts to build up in the soil which will eventually require you to flush them. Good luck!

you had just deeper problem, go same way to sort .... I honestly use calmag 3-5 times in all grow time. In soil, you should not add any mag , especially in big or constant quantities , there is overdose too ... not only lack or not possible to absorb aka bad conditions - either watering regime or ph ...

Magnesium deficiency, but before just dumping in calmag make sure your pH and watering is on par, because this can also cause issues with the plant uptaking it.

Ho! It's a magnesium deficiency, use cal-mag (from biobizz too for example) and she will be fine!
