Just give them time to recover now, they look good.

Cheers. Getting there! Just trial and error isn't it. I'm learning by watching my plants. Instead of watching everyone else.
That’s the way you do it, grows are all different depending on a lot of variables. Do what works for you.

Still got that rust circles on the one plant and I'm adding cal mag to every watering. Anything else I could possibly do? It doesn't seem to be affecting growth too much but that plant is not as full as the other.

My plants seem to start going limp about 5 hours before lights out. Lights are about 20 inches above highest part of plant. It's a 1200 watt LED but only realistically is pushing 300.
What's your light time? I found some plants do that if I'm going with 20/4 vegging.

Yes sorry. Light time is 20/4. Should I lower the light time? If it wants to rest surely it can only be a good thing to let it. Or is that wrong?
I left it and it went away on its own. If it's growing just watch it like Penny mentioned. I can see you are! He's been on this and will be better to say. The last pic looked pretty good. Edit: I have had a few other grows that I've seen that in. Always end up ok.

I have a few leaves which are a bit damaged. Should I remove these? Or am I best just leaving everything alone.

I leave the damaged leaves but there it’s a personal preference thing in my opinion
I let the plant cannibalize the bad leaves.

That's this morning. They have had 6 hours of light so far. They are due a watering today. 6 days since last water. Do you think I should lower amount of water and di it more frequently. I think maybe there is dry spots in my soil. I normally give a good soaking but I'm thinking that it's not fully saturating the soil and just travelling through and leaving areas. The outer edge of my soil is very dry. I think I need to water from the outside in very slowly. Last two waters I have added nutrients. Is it worth just ph'd water this feed and maybe a litre each slowly given at intervals.

Just watered. Decided to add 2 ml cal mag and 2 ml grow nutes. No bloom nutes today as I'm going to stagger at this stage and then switch in next couple of feeds. Do you think that's ok? Watered very slowly from the outside in. Done 1 loop of pots then let rest for a minute and moved in each time letting it rest in between loops. Watered with 6.4 ph and runoff is roughly about the same. On both plants. Each plant got roughly 2 litres. I use a 6 litre can with a hose on the end which I filled up about 3 quarters. The plants are in 16l smart fabric pots. Run off only really from when watering outer edges.
I would saturate when watering, they look healthy so they like what they are getting.

Ok cheers. They have began there drooping after about 15 hours of light.
Sounds about right, they definetly droop when they have enough light for the day.
Years ago Penny said to water slowly around the outside of the pot. I think of that every time I water quickly around the outside of the pot!
I water slowly, mostly around the outside as well.
