24 hours lighting and drooping.

[Fwish]

So i read somewhere recently that keeping your babies under 24 hour light while promotes more growth evenvitably slows growth down because "They want / need to sleep "

can and will 24 hour lighting from day 1 do this to my plant, pics below, is it bad, and can i ease her to 20 / 4 if she's so used to 24 hr light. Btw she's beginning her 2nd week of veg atm.

These are from 2 days ago when leaves were straight still.


These are from today.



PS. I also moved her into the sunlight this morning and turned off her lights for the day, don't know if that has something to do with it, also temps got down to about 55 but then after about 1 - 2 hours went up to 82.

they look fine,cold or being in the dark may make the leaves droop also overwatering them will do it

........or poor drainage due to lack of perlite.

I think you may be right, there is almost no pearlite in this pot i completely forgot to add it, but i was told that it had vermiculite in it when i bought the soil.

would it be safe to replant her right now?

If you add perlite to the next bucket and lay that in there the roots will go to the perlite impregnated soil rather quickly. Yea it's ok to transplant now but be super careful. I transplanted mine when they were that size but I would honestly wait till they have 2 sets of leaves... That's only like 3 days or less from now.

I just started the same 24-0 lighting cycle a little over a week ago. Been fine so far but im considering changing it to 20-4

whatever relieves your stress man
ignore douchebags who advise you but don't grow
16 hours of light per day is the standard accepted minimum amount of light to keep a plant in veg
24 hours are what i use
they'll rest when they flower
