Hiya
Jack Herer auto, 135w QB 2 x 2 tent, dwc canna nutes 600ppm in rez.
Here she is at 5,30am, 26°, RH 52% lights have been on for 10 hours at this point, and she looks ok:

5 hours later, temps and humidity have hardly changed, looking very bedraggled and she'll get more and more droopy til lights out at 2pm.

To me it looks like what you see when temps are too high, but no way is 26° too warm, or it shouldnt be.
Water in rez 22° checked with IR thermometer so i dont think its too warm in there.
Any ideas chaps?
Cheers!

Looks like she's a light sensitive girl. Is it your first run with QB's?
Nah this is my 4th run. Definitely something making her unhappy over the course of lights on. I'll check tonight but im fairly sure she is nice and perky after 6 hours darkness...
Cheers

How far do you think i should have the QB? Just moved it way up, about 18' away now...wonder if that does anything, probably not!
90 mins to lights out 25° RH50% she looks like crap...

It's not uncommon for plants to droop over the course of the lights on period. Did you change anything with the lights recently, turning them up, moving them down etc? What you are seeing is just "light saturation." This is pretty common esp with high end LEDs.

Cheers, I've struggled to get them at right height. I've had clear tip burn all grow and I havent really been able to figure out if its light or nute burn so the qb has been up and down. Its about 18' away now which seems very far...
Cheers!

Shes still droopy last few hours of lights on but i think shes gonns be fine...bit of LST to even out canopy height, excited about this one Ive been waiting to try Jack Herer for a good while now. I did want to do the original Sensi strain but a mate gave me some RQS JH Auto so that what it is...curious to see if their stuff is any good.
Cheers!

Yeah that seems to be the consensus, she seems ok otherwise. Its a 135w 288 QB, 16/8, she was on 24 hours on which i think was a bit dumb, she went way past her time to start flowering. But she never wilted under 24 hours seems a bit odd she then gets very sensitive to 16 hours...
Cheers!

You’re not leaving her sitting in water right? I had one show the exact same issue and it was trying to grow roots into the run off tray..

Stopped being so lazy and fully emptied the tray again and problem went away

Happens to me sometimes in the last couple hours of 12/12. They have reach their limit of light for the day. Raising the light will work, but it makes more sense to just cut an hour or so off the lights on period.

Yeah she is WAY behind schedule so im gonna start reducing lights on time, that should help with the drooping and kick her on into flowering. There doesnt seem like much ruderalis in this strain (a good thing some might say...)
Cheers!
