Problem: Your plants leaves will start drooping if they've been over-watered or under-watered. If you've overwatered your plant, its leaves will be firm and curled down all the way to the stem of the leaf. You may also notice Chlorosis (Leaf Yellowing). Plants use their roots to get oxygen which is dissolved in water or oxygen in their grow medium. When you overwater a plant, its roots are sitting in stagnant water which no longer has any oxygen left. The reason your plants droop is because basically their roots are starving for oxygen.
Solution: The best thing you can do for overwatered plants is give them time without watering, and then start them off slowly until things seem back to normal. You can try to increase the temperature and airflow to help the water evaporate more quickly. You can also use a pencil to gently poke some air holes into the growing medium to provide extra aeration and oxygen to the roots.
For soil grows, you generally only want to water the plant when the soil feels dry if you press a finger in it. You can also use the "lift the pot" method described below (under Underwatering) to decide when to water your plants. For other growing mediums besides soil, your watering method will vary, but if your plants are drooping and you've been feeding them a lot of water, it's a good idea to cut back and see if that helps.

Thanks bro i understand all of that but over-watering isn't the case here cause the plant is in a super roots airpot it get's watered every 4 to 5 days i have a thirsty light in the soil to tell me when the soil is dry so i don't see where i am over watering. My PH at run off is about 6.3 to 7.0 so i don't quite understand why the leafs look like that but it's only a few so don't know. Thanks for the suggestion an read tho anyone else have any suggestions...?
When it curls at the tips like that it can be a Cal-Mag issue.
Are you using Cal-Mag? What is your pH?

nope not using cal mag ive heard good an bad thing about it ph is around 6.3 6.8 at run off.....?
6.3 at feeding? And 6.8 at run-off?
I would definitely use Cal-Mag, I don't know what you've heard, but it is one of the essential nutrients needed for proper growth.

No bro I water at like 6.8 7.0 run off will be at 6.3 an I've ordered some super thrive heard that was good to but also heard bad about cal mag but people probably don't know how to use it
Okay, it was hard to tell because of how it was written.
You're pH is too high when you water, I would drop it to 6.2-6.5 which should help with deficiencies as well.
I'd say Cal-Mag + better pH when feeding will solve your current issue.

I am 99.99% positive this is an overload of nitrogen, it happened to me.
