I have this problem with these droopy leaves before dark , and if any1 could say if its something to worry about.

Strain is Haze crossed with Lr#2.
Temperature is in 24-29 celsius.
I have 1 old computer fan blowing towards and 1 tablefan also if its too hot in my growing cabinet.
I dont know the humidity levl, but still it isnt "dry".
Using soil.
The missy is in fift week of flower.
Lights i use are 7x11w CFL`s 2700K
And i water her 2 times in week, once with nutrients. Hope someone could tell if its something to worry?

I can apply pictures if needed.

It's mostly normal, it's your foliage out growing your root system. Make sure your soil is dry before you water and make sure the table fan is running a few hours before they normally start wilting. Depending how bad it is, you might consider backing your lights off a half inch to inch after it wilts to minimize the stress if the fan doesn't help. It will correct itself over time.

When I grow in rock wool they grow 24/7 in veg and this does increases female tenses when growing from seeds! They grow much faster!

Well not for me, she grows very slowly, think its cause of the lack of enough light? Or if its just the strain that has this "slowgrowing" thing going on..

SO i promised these pics, here they are. So what yall think of these? Feedback please :hump:

Your not in rock wool? They look like the need to be feed, the are drooping and their flat. The fingers on the leaf should be folded up a little like their praying!

Maybe they don't need to be feed it could be lots things!

Naah man, just basic soil. This is certainly very intresting case, always 2-3 hours before dark she looks like this, and in the morning she perks up and looks like perfectly normal/healthy.
Im watering 2 times in week, once with nutes ( biobloom ) so dont really think its underwatering?

Im really confused, cause this is the only and first time this is ever happened, and i have succesfully grown many times.

Also growth is very slow to my eye, sometimes it seems that it isnt growing at all :confused:
I certainly hope shes just "resting" when she does this.

All feedback is welcome :hump:

I had my plants on 24/7 and they hardly grew, so as i put them back to 18/6 they took off and grew like they were on steroids. I done alot of reading up on the 24/7 thing and if a plant was growing wild then it would have 24/7 lighting. I gess its one of them things that is going to have split opinions, but it didn't do shit for mine. peace brother

Give it a go if you want but remember to up the feeding alittle coz the plants will need extra fed to keep up with the 24/7 lighting. just feed it on a monday and again on the friday, use the normal amount on the monday and just a touch more on the friday 2 be on the safe side. when and if you bring them back to 18/6 or whatever you like cut back abit on the feeding coz it wont use as much with it being 18/6 as to 24/7 if you know what i mean, mine didnt grow but yours maybe different.
Hope the rest of your grow go's well, scunk

Im really sorry if you felt that way man, i didnt mean to do anything like that. i was just telling him that it didnt work for mine. I read loads of things about how many say that 24/7 lighting works for them, and thats really good coz we are all here to try and get that nice harvest, and help if we can.
Plants are like people no two are the same' and different strains my grow really fast with 24/7 lighting but i remember reading someone saying about the plants wouldn't get that much light in the wild and we're all trying to mimic that for the best plants, again im sorry that it came across like i was having a dig but i wasn't.

I will say in the dead of light yes they will stand on end like a teenager on viagra. LoL. I do not go for the inside grows but my plants are healthy as a germaphobe in a glass box with a full bottle of sanitizer. LoL. They will slightly droop in the dead of night.

Guarantee you need to water these girls.....that is the 1st sign of a water shortage is the drooping leaves. Next you will see leaves at the bottom of plant turning yellow and eventually die and fall from the plant. Once you water it will probably take between 20 minutes and maybe at most 2 hours before the leaves should be fully perked back up and looking healthy. Only other thing I have ever seen that causes drooping leaves is too much heat and or humidity, which I do not believe is your problem. Too much feeding or not enough will not cause leaves to droop.
