Wilting Leaves

[Stumay111]

OK, so the pattern is, every day my plants droop from about 10AM until about 7PM.
Other times they look great.
Now, I DO live in S. Alabama, where temps are in the 90s, but I live in a good house and the temp in my grow tent is 75. Humidity 51%. During lights out but they start before lights go out.
Their pots are semi-light, they got some water yesterday. I know overwatered, this isn't it.
I'm sure this isn't doing my plants any good.

I would suggest getting more lights. U have too many for just those 2 small ones. U might need 2 more of those or 1 bigger one.

 

[9BestBudz0]

How’s your soil. Maybe it’s too tough for them to grow thru.
Other things could be the fan is to direct on them. (Seriously)
Not enough light
over water.
wind(fan)
air circulation
CO2

 

[Stumay111]

Thanks. The fan circulates it's not stationary. I get 50K Lumens at every plant. As I said, I know what overwater looks like, this isn't it. There's a TWO CO2 cans hanging right about it. And none of those would cause it to wilt, then recover, then wilt, then recover.

Soil is fine, BioBiz LIght mix 1/4 perlite.

Maybe they know the cycle. ??? Hmmm smart plants

It actually occurred to me that they are sensing the conditions outside. I won't try to grow in the summer here again.

It really could be it man.

Like clockwork, they perked up close to lights on time last night.
Like clockwork, they started to wilt just before lights out (about 9AM here) this morning.

Someone said they droop at night. Never seen this, but ok...

When a plant receives it's daily dose of light, it will in fact begin to wilt....like clock work I had a run doing it, and like many, I hadn't seen it before. I'm not sure if it was because I wasn't looking or what....but it seems I see it more often now. Never the less, if they're perking up once your lights come on and then begin to droop near lights out...I don't know I'd sweat it.

this article I found by a PhD no less explains the phenomena. LOL My days of rushing out to do every fix everyone suggests are long over. Someone on another thread was screaming repot, rootbound. LOL. My 4 week old Gorilla Glue I snuck in does it too.

your mentionting a completely normal cycle most growers dont recognnize as it usually does not start untiul after lights out but wilting at the end of the light cycle getting ready for the night cycle seems to be what your plants are doing

seems to be the concensus.

They are just resting.

 

[Stumay111]

Thanks all, I think I'll rest too . So if it's just sleeping, looks like I did ok on my 2nd grow. I'll come back here and post a picture when they wake up.

What your plants are doing is perfectly normal. That’s just their way of winding down and getting ready to sleep. They get use to whatever light schedule you have them on. I’ve never had a plant that didn’t start to droop at least 30 min to an hour before lights out. Nothing to worry about. When you see the droop continue even with the lights on, then you have a problem.

Here's my saggy plants this morning. Reaching for the sun.

I posted new pics this AM of my so called "rootbound" "overwaterd" plants (glad I don't listen to everyone anymore, I'd have re-potted them all). I don't see a problem. I'm pretty proud of my 2nd grow, first attempt at LST.
