First Grow - Drooping this morning

[thc2022]

Hi all,

The girls are drooping this morning. This is the end of the 16 hour day for these. They had a water 16 hours previous and looked ok 8 hours before.
Could this be light? I have been edging my light up from when i installed it. and currently sitting at 320w at 36", which is dial 4 of 10.
Is it a case of its the plants getting used the light intensity or worse needs more/ closer?

Be good to get some input from you guys and gals

- First Grow
- Day 40
- HLG 600 R-SPEC
- Ecothtive Soil (organic)
- So far no nutes except a small try of seaweed in one of the feeds which i think caused some burn on the leaves.
- Had some real mad heat issues in the first 27 days, fixed by getting rid of the SF4000 and getting a HLG 600 R-SPEC. But the game changer was removing the carbon filter on the exhaust!
- Temp 65-75 (night to day)
- Humidity 56-60 RH

midnight yesterday, watered at 16:00 at the start of the 16 hour light period. So this is midday for the plants. 8 hours in.

This morning, so 8 hours after the other pic and at the end of the day period.

It just looks like transpiration to me

Looks normal to me wait till the day after you water to see them perk up. Maybe you let them dry out to much how much and often do you water. I would definitely turn that light up to to help get those buds big and fat

Give them a couple of days to adjust each time you increase the light intensity. Oftentimes you'll see plants droop earlier in the daylight cycle right after you increase either the % on the light, or after you lower it

That one on the left seems to be having a bit too much nitrogen...the right side looks to be drooping pretty hard and it could possibly, most likely, be due to the light intensity changing (changing your lights can certainly do this). I say this because it seems only the tops of the plant seem to be effected. You could dial your light down a bit (or raise it) and see if it helps and turn it back up as they adjust.

So a part of the normal process.

Still getting used to what the plants look like after certain triggers. Loving learning though.
Yes the light is going up but every few days as to not cause more stress.

This is what i wondered as i have recently increased. Ill see what they are like in a bit (4pm) as its morning for the plants and i can see whats what

They all have the same soil. I did feed that one on the left with some seaweed but that was 18 days ago and they only get rain water.
yeah i was wondering if its the light. that said i have had it on the recent setting for a few days now. so figured its safe to try and edge it up.

Getting an oversensitive plant can happen. Especially growing from seed. My whole last run of Mephisto had this problem. Half didn't hatch and the rest were sensitive to light and nutes...one was a constant blue/green color and had three fingered leaves from the onset. Sometimes shit just happens.

I see, thats a bitch. The one on the right in my pic took ages to catch up and now its the weeker looking plant with, as you say three finger leaves too.

This is first light for the plants today and they look brighter.

BTW - the one on the left is a different type. Double Kush i think, the other 2 are both Northern Lights.


This is one of the flowers on the double Kush

If it just started throwing three finger leaves, then it is most likely due to light stress. This can happen when there is a significant change in quality or levels of light. Can also happen if the lighting change to 12/12 was changed around too. It can also come from other stressors like reveg or environment but the light change is most likely it. Just give them time to adjust.
