These have been growing for 4 weeks since popped out of soil. Growing beautiful under led grow light bulbs i had in 3 shop lights. Moved them from 4x2 to 5x5 2 days ago. Now they are under roi 680 led at 75%. Why are they starting to droop? Stress from more light?? 20220214_054453.jpg20220214_054447.jpg

Overwatered and underwatered literally look the same to new growers, the differences are subtle. For me personally, I can kind of visually see it in the leaves, again it's subtle but overwatered leaves look overly plump and kind of have an arc to them as they droop. ...underwatered leaves look like they're sinking in on themselves and almost look paper-thin before they go into full wilt.

Skip a watering and you'll know which it is.

Looks just like the droop sunlight causes if the plants don’t harden in shade first. In short, turn the led down a lot.

I agree that it certainly could be light issues going from something weaker to an intense light. Even dimmed to 75% may be too much.

I go from 4ft T8 bulbs to my HLG 350 dimmed to as low as I can go before it turns off. Then slowly ratchet up over the course of a week.

Overwatered leaves have turgor, underwatered do not. It is difficult to tell sometimes though.
