I posted this in the Mephisto subgroup and got some great input but wanted to post here as well just to make sure I didn't waste any time if there's an issue with the plant. I had temperatures overnight down into the low 60s and during theday only just breaking 70. This really stalled some growth for me. I used some small ceramic heaters to bring the temperatures uplast week but am now running tents with lights on 24 / 0 to keep the temperatures steady. One of my Ripley's OG plants still seems to be drooping though. Temperatures are now steady in the mid-to-high 70s and the plants are being fed Botanicare nutrients and are in 3 gallon smart pots with nectar of the Gods soil. I have a Viparspectra 450 in the center and an autocob on eaxh side in a 2x4 with a 4" fan..now all om 24/7. Does this look OK or is it done for? It's looked pretty muxh the same for the past week now.

.... need more info man, about your nutes, dosage, frequency,.... What's you water like, source, pH, ppm's? ....what are they growing in?..... I see you mention it was bone dry, has that been happening often, or overwatering? Both will cause the droops but for entirely different reasons,....
Dry is especially bad, it cause big pH shifts, spike the relative conc. of dissolved nutes in there, both of which can lead root damage,.. then you go into a vicious circle of over water, under water, then the defc.'s start...
The pH of the water you're using is way too alkaline, right off the bat here,... run-off is NOT a reliable way to get an accurate in-pot pH, it's crude at best,... also you need to know the pH and ppm's of the in-going water, or far better still, use RO/Di water, no adjustment... tap water with significant hardness will cause buffering action, skewing results.... Adjustments make that even worse,....If you get really off readings, you can at least deduce that the in-pot pH is off and needs correcting....
Temp's had made matters worse, P and micro's in particular uptake and metabolize poorly under those low T's,... but the alkaline pH is now the problem,.... if you are in soil, soilles, your in-pot pH should be mid-low 6's, coco even lower... you have what looks like a micronute lockout, likely Fe or Zn, hard to say just yet,...
Now, you're stuck with all this constant water logging, which will take a toll on the roots as mentioned,.. O2 starvation kills them,... but let's see what you're growing in first, either way, the in-pot pH is too alkaline, and needs to be fixed,.. likely your feeds will be acidic enough to help balance things out, so hopefully no more flushing!
if thing go sideways more, you should consider foliar feeding with micronute supplement, which is the fastest way in and bypasses the problems in the soil meantime,... Gte a wetting agent, or an mild soap like castile, no fragrance preferably.... this is essential for foliar feeding, wetting agent help the solution coat and stick instead of just beading up,... be sure to get the leaf undersides especially, more stomata are there,...
consider getting a soil pH probe, like the Accurate 8, of the tricker, more $$ electrode bulb type like Blue Labs,.... being able yo monitor this stuff help prevent troubles like this from getting started-
