A single plant in a four plant grow is experiencing drooping fan leaves and what appears to be yellowing stems. The color may be exagerated by the HPS light, but it does seem to be so. Its only the large leaves that are coming directly off the main stalk. Any suggestions?

Yeah probly nute shortage. I had the same thing a little while ago. I was expecting it. I grow in modified coco with slow-r ferts in it. That's good for vegging to 30" without additional nutes, but then I see the same symptoms you noted above - the drooping fan leaves, yellowing (below, purple above) stalks. So then I start 15-30-15 and switch to flower.
To avoid unfortunate accidents, test increased nute levels one plant at a time in sequence until you just start getting tip burn.
 
They are on the FF nutes. In FF soil. Fed @50% last time, runoff ph @ 6.5. After looking at things wthout the hps on it, its not yellow, but the leaves were drooping bad. I messed with it too much trying to sex it today. It perked back up after a few hours.

Yeah, i put it that way on purpose, I figured we could all use a laugh every once in a while. Especially at the "OMG WHATS WRONG" freak out that I had before I posted.:D
 
Droop is normal with big fan leaves when the lamps are off.
