First time grower needing some help please.

Hello. This is my first grow. im using 400 w Mh for veg and HPS for flowering in a 75x75x100 Budbox. Ive got Plagrow royal mix soil, mineral water with ph modified by malt vinegar to 6.5-6.7. They are a week old from the start of germination. And the light has been placed foot above them (from today, before i used florescent lights)

Last night i turned off my lights at 11 to turn on to 5 with a timer and unfortunately it failed to work which in turn pissed me of incredibly. Anyways, in the morning i woke up at 6:44 to then run and turn on the light for the plants when i noticed the leaves had drooped. The temp was 18 C which shouldnt of happened for more than an hour or two (it's usually 24-28 C). One plant has uncurled but the other two still droop. Surely they can withstand these conditions for a short amount of time? Would like an expert opinion on my assumption and please someone tell what i need to do to if i need to do anything. . Oh and it's pineapple express G13 seeds :rastasmoke:

The first picture i attached shows the droop on my tallest plant 'Zion'. The second shows my very bent :S plant 'Kingston'. The third is of another worry. 'Zion' and 'Kingston' have a white thin 'fluff' on the. Im sure it's not Spider mites because i cant see any eggs and the fluff is'nt clear. I think it's fluff from my room because the ventalation was very poor for the first 5 days when i noticed it. Or it could be powdery mildew. Could someone please advise. And apologies for the third picture's quality. you can just make out the white 'fluff' as spots. Thanks again guys.

Your medium:
6.) Specific brand and type of soil, and anything you've added to it. Plagron Royal mix soil. Nothing added
7.) Size of container.3" changed to 4" today. 6" for later

Your nutrients and water:
8.) Source of water. Mineral bottle water.
9.) Method of checking water ph. Ph meter
10) Method of adjusting water ph. Malt Vinegar
11) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. No nutrients used as of yet. Wondering how long i should rely on the nutes in the soil :s
12) Any additives or tea's? Nope
13) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? Unsure, stil havent checked runoff
14) What is your ingoing water's ph? 6.4-6.7
15) Do you foliar feed? If so, with what, how often, and at what time do you spray? Im spraying the plants still. Unsure when i should start properly watering

Your growroom:
16) Indoors or outdoors? Indoors
17) What size of closet, room or hut? 75x75x100
18) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? Lights on 24-28 C and around 20 C when off. My hyrometer doesnt seem to be working properly :S
19) Noticed any insects in the growroom? Nope.

Your strain:
20) What strain are you growing? Pineapple Express G13
21) From seeds or clones? Seeds

I've personally never foliar feed, but occasionally when I use sprays to prevent pests I'll notice spots on the leaves where the liquid formed a drop then later evaporated.

The plants look possibly a little over watered. If it's humid on top of the foliar feed it could be PM, but I can't really be certain. There's more helpfull folk on this site, hope they show up! :thumbsup:

Thanks for that a bunch mate. It could be due to overwatering. It's also the first time they have been put on 18 hours of light from 24 hr. They could still be sleeping?

Can i also ask what PM is? Thanks again.

PM is powdery mildew.

Yer of course it is. that was silly of me. Well my plant is still drooping and i dont know what to do. I thought it might peak up in the morning with more light but they still look sad =[ plz help!

the plant looks fine overall, but it does appear to be over-watered.

the grey does look like residue from being foliar sprayed. you can start watering as soon as the plant has roots (which it obvoiusly does).

it's not uncommom for plants to sag when the lights go out, by the way.

and you want girls, not guys, so you might want to consider new names. lol.

good growing!
