Switched to HID from CFL; Leaves Drooping

High everyone, I just switched out yesterday and relocated my 3 week old plant to the attic with a 600 HID MH.

Within 24 hours, the leaves are drooping badly :sad:. The attic temps fluctuate a lot more too, so I am not sure if this is lighting distance, temp fluct, or both.

The leaves that are droopy and twisted also seem almost crunchy. The temps dropped into the lower 50's/high 40's too last night in the attic. But I have other seedlings that look fine right now, so this is just one plant. With the lights on, it is 80*F at plant level.

I can't put up pictures right now since my wife is home, and she hates when I screw around with my plants when she's around (that's another issue).

Anyway, tips are very much appreciated!

Just be sure that you have enough space between the plants & the light.

Remember that the plants don't need as many lumens during veg as they do during flowering. Make sure the light is about 12" to 18" about the tops.

Sounds like they're getting to hot.

im sure its just the stress of the ney lighting. give it time and remember that your plant will need more water with a bigger light. how is my post above the ops?
