hello, as you can see by the title, this is my 1st grow. I chose a Northern light Auto from seedsman for reference. the first couple weeks i messed up and took some branches off and the plant turned into a jungle smh. yesterday i tied down the branches and preformed some lst on her, i noticed she was pretty light so today i decided to give her 3ml of tiger bloom ph'd to 5.90 (roughly 1 gallon of water). this is my first time using flower nutes, as i was using the veg nutes from fox farm trio before this. i also cranked the light to 167 watts (qb 288 v2 rspec) @ 2 feet for the first time this grow. it was previously at 120watts. just a few hours ago i noticed she was looking kinda sad/ droopy? i honestly couldn't tell you wth is wrong with this auto haha, thats why i'm posting so someone with more knowledge can take a look. did it grow like a jungle due to the branches being cut? could i have under/over watered her this morning or is the light to bright? or does she look healthy? sorry for all the questions, just wanna know if somethings wrong before its to late! as you can tell with the other little girl next to her, she's growing more like what i would have expected, the bigger one is a mess! haha. thanks for all the help, and i plan on getting one more qb this weekend for my 2x4 box.

-light schedule is 18/6
-1/2 gallon of water ever 2-3 days since seedling
-40 days since it popped soil
-light has been at 24 inches whole grow
-2x4x 5feet tall box w/ white paint
-PH'd every feeding from 5.85-6.50
-only used big bloom & grow big nutes from week 2 until yesterday

ps. was it too early for flower nutes?

With soil, let it dry well before watering. Get used to lifting one side of the the pot with thumb and index finger. After you have watered, then later when she is dry. You will learn soon enough when she needs a feeding.

Another alternative for when to begin flowering nutes is when vertical growth has stopped.

PH of 5.8 is LOW for soil. Low medium pH can cause the droops. 5.8 to 6.2 is hydroponic pH zone. You should be watering 6.2 to 6.6 in soil.

Biggest plant killer is overwatering - looks like overwatering to me as @AutoWonders mentioned pick up your pots and feel the weight ..... also adjust lights gradually over a two week period - If you see what is called canoeing where the leaves curl inward you’ll know there is too much light.
