I appreciate it 
An these pics are the best i can get lol i just transfered that plant into a big bin not sure if that was a smart idea the root were getting to big for the pot
The transplant shouldn’t have caused the droop like that.
Have you been checking the ph and ppm of the feed /water ?
The higher heat will make the leaves curl a bit and feel rough to the touch. Let me tag a couple folks.
@Arrow is around tonite. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I agree with @Oldguy sounds a bit like a pH issue. I didn’t see you mention what pH you had?

With the pro mix you should be in the 5.8-6.2 ph range for your feed and water mixes.
And @Arrow. One of those can’t sleep moments brother 
Alarm in another couple hours.

Maximum reply’s reached on my other account since I’m new lol but it could be the hps light I just raised it a lot higher I leave it on 400watt to keep temperature down

Here you go brother…its a chart showing the relation between temperature and humidity, to gain optimal growth…everything has a sweet spot…plants as well. If you take your first pics you will see serious canoeing of the leaves, and the leaf edges are discoloured, that’s how I knew you have a serious light right above that plant…the rest falls in place after that…

What’s the feed schedule looking like?
How much water did you put in? How much water came out of the bottom?
How close was the light?

Looks like too much light and possibly watering too often.
