What am I doing wrong?
Hi Everyone! this is my first post, I have spent the last month or so reading through all the wonderful information on this site. My plants are about 3 weeks old and the leaves are starting to get droopy. I was hoping somone could help me out. It is a cabinet grow 4'X2'X5' with 400w hps. We have an ac unit blowing cold air into the cabinet as well as two passive vent holes. The fan we have is a 265cfm, which pulls through the light. Hopefully that makes sense, my husband built it and I just take care of the plants.

It seems to me buddy that you are watering the fuck out of it...make sure the soil is dry before giving the little baby another drink

Welcome riley22
I would have to agree with SunnyD.
Also I would bring the water PH up a bit.
I personally use PH 6.5 with good results
And then I would put my hand on top of my plants for a minute or 2 to see if it gets hot.
If your hand gets hot so will your plants.
GOOD LUCK

It might just be me, but im pretty sure the light is to close especially for little plants. I would say at least a foot away. Could be overwatering too though. Mabey that will help.

Too small for nutes yet. You may want to flush them once they've dried-out a bit.
Overwatering (already mentioned)
R/O water will need a CalMag type of suppliment.
Light may be too close for seedlings/clones unless it's very well cooled. Especially if they are stressed. (which they are) When you put your hand just above the canopy, (back of hand twords the light) if your hand get's too warm, it's too warm for the seedlings.

OK...so I let them dry out and flushed them today with just tap water. I also moved them down to about 12 inches from the light. Will the leaves eventually spring back up?
