My autoflower likes 100w vs 400w

Whats the point of using more power but then not utilizing it by hanging the lamp further away.... doesnt make sense....

OP how did you rule out other factors?

Was other factors are you referring to if you don’t mind me asking?

She may have just needed some time to adjust.

Will second this. When I switch from 400w veg to 600w in flower my plants always go like this for the first couple of days and then stand up praising the sun again. Just needs time to re adjust that's all.

I’ll keep you guys posted. She has 5 nodes now. So I’ll switch the light today and see how she does.

Yeah but what was the canopy temp with the bigger light?

I switched the light yesterday, this morning she seems to be doing ok. Definitely not drooping like she did before. Light is at 36”. Maybe she just wasn’t ready for it and I introduced the light too early. But thanks for the suggestions and recommendations, much appreciated.

too many to state them all, but leaves may hang from osmotic root pressure, turgor pressure, too low transpiration.. and all this stuff can be influenced yet by just a bunch of other stuff, like ambient temps, rH, soil pH, soil EC etc... plants also need some time to adapt to changes... even if you just move your pot around and place the plant at another angle to your grow lights it may have to adapt anew... so for best growth, just try to introduce as little as changes as possible, or, rather step-by-step
