What were you using? A switch to led might make leaves droop but they should bounce back. And remember to add cal/mag!

Why calmag?

Because there are ph issues, it's too early to tell, about 2 weeks, and he'll probably get a pound.
I was using a lamp i had at home that had much lower watt. How many days estimated for them to bounce back do u think?

A photo would help us to help you.
In my limited experience with led (idk about mars?) but my one needs to start of at 34/35" and 50% power or the plants get bleached and droop away from the light, remember your going from a lamp, I'd raise it and lower a bit a day until the recommended height.
Someone with a Mars will be able advise you better @HydroKid239

From what light to what other light?
From a low power bureaulamp to a mars hydro ts600

Cal/mag because plants grown with LEDs need a little more than those not grown with LED. And at that stage of growth should be 18-24 " from top of plant. Also, when I grow outdoors I have to harden the plants from led to sun. If you were using low power and now plant is under much higher power it's like that... It'll bounce back.

That's like going from pedal power to supercharged. Give it a couple days and see...
Okay thanks a lot

It will take some time to get used to the led light. They should be ok within a week, just be sure to get some fans blowing on the stems lightly to strengthen them.
+1 for making sure calmag is in the diet.

Is this fact or bro science, I'm not being picky in asking.

False info...only if growing in coco/hydro or ro water is cal/mag required...most time it is a feed schedule/ph issue.

Been all over the web and to many forums, the consensus is cal/mag for soil,coco, peat based mediums. I had problems with my first closet grow and was told to add cal/mag to feed. Bought MEGACROP and haven't had a problem since with cal/mag issues. I grow in soil or peat based mediums... Just saying that people with way more experience told me and I listened to them. Worked for me.
