I’m growing autos Sour Kush and Tangerine Dream indoors in 3 gal fabric pots. I’m about 7 weeks in (46 days) from germination and new growth is coming in a light green and leaves very skinny and droopy looking. I’m using 600wt light have it on 19/5 light schedule. What could be causing this.
Need some help and advice

Overall they look very, very good. You might up the nutes just a little, but I’m not sure it’s necessary. Looks like they are about to go into preflower, so they’re growing really rapidly. Drooping leaves often means overwatering. What nutes are you using?

Okay, cool I feel much better now I’m using FoxFarm. Should I be worried about new growth coming in light green and the fans leaves growing thin?
New growth will darken up as the next new growth comes in. It's normal. Things look good to me.

Okay thank you. This is my 2 grow and still new to this. But definitely feel better.
You mentioned a 600watt light but not what kind (ie. LED, HPS, MH). Droopy leaves are one sign your light may be to close. You want your leaves praying to the light. Try raising it a couple inches and see it that helps.

Okay I will give that a try. I’m using 600watt LED light and it’s hanging about 20 inches for the plants.You mentioned a 600watt light but not what kind (ie. LED, HPS, MH). Droopy leaves are one sign your light may be to close. You want your leaves praying to the light. Try raising it a couple inches and see it that helps.
Normally you'll see a couple leaves twist sideways to try to avoid the light if it's too close. Not always though.
As for the light, is 600 watts the actual draw, or what it’s equivalent too? A brand would help. How big is your tent?

They look good. Be patient, might want to up the Nutes a little, more nitrogen during the veg stage, but go slow.

You could try up potting to 10 gal.
