Hey everyone, first time grower here, with a big bud plant, having a few problems I was hoping to get a few opinions on. My plant is under 2 CFLs, 1 45 watt warm and 1 23 watt natural light, and a flourex 27 watt bulb, total lumens 5700, it is still in the vegetative stage of growth, it is in a pot 10 inches diameter, about 5 inches deep, under 24-7 light, with a fan, the 2 CFLs are about 6 inches over the plant and the flourex is angled to hit the lower leaves.

I have a few concerns with the progress of my plant. The first is that the leaves are drooping- I've read this can be from over-watering, and I guess this is likely the case...Im going to try and dry it out, no water for the next 7 days...but Im worried that it could be the pot is to small. Does it sound like an appropriate size?? Also the lower new leaves that are growing are light green or even yellow - one little leaf looks like its going to die. Im not sure whether this is a nitrogen issue or lighting, or maybe something else altogether. I have the plant in a good potting soil, and added 4 fertilizer sticks from HD w/ a high nitrogen content (21-8-6).

This pic is from three days ago, looks good, this is the day I watered it, must have given it too much
