    Drooping leaves

    Any idea why leaves on both plants would all of a sudden droop like this? I thought they may of been thirsty so I watered 12 hours ago. Last watering before that was Sunday morning.

    the only other change is the exhaust is now on 24hrs. Before during I had it click on and off every 30 mins.

    I reviewed the GWE plant problem page and it appeared to be underwatered or wind burnt.

    I assune that with the watering the leaves would of popped popped back up at this point

    Sounds like you can rule out overwatering, and underwatering watering sounds unlikely. Any temperature or humidity change after flipping your exhaust on full time?
    Also how about anything different with light schedule? if you had the power go out for a couple hours, that can make them droop for a little while. Check closely for bugs, even though they look healthy. Some people say certain strains will at least calw a little early in flower.

    Good luck in solving the issue!

      Nothing different with the lights. 20/4. With the fan was clicking on and off the humidity and temp would go up and down with the fan. Humidity from 40 to 60ish and temps from 21ish to 26ish. Now the fan is running fulltime it’s sitting around 20-21 for temp and 40% for humidity. Maybe I shocked the plants with that change?

    So in the pictures, the upper leaves look kinda yellow, more so than the lower once, is that how they actually look, or is it just the picture? That could be an indicator of slow onset light stress, the plant getting closer over time, and the problem not being very obvious at first.
    Might be just a little on the low side for humidity, until the last couple weeks of flower, don't know if that would stress them or not, though?
    They actually prefer a little higher than 50% ,I think, but we lower it down to 50-60% during flower, and 40% the last couple weeks, to help prevent bud rot.

      I will monitor humidity and I raised the lights a little bit. They were about 16” away so I raised them to about 20”

    Looking at the pictures, it appears there is a lot of dry soil around the plants. Did you water to 20% runoff when you watered 12 hours ago?

      Ya I had run off. The other weird thing is they perked up yesterday during the day and the at night before I went to bed I checked them and they had dropped again. That was 10 PM our time. 7 am our time now and I just checked and all leaves have perked back up

      Ok, that actually sounds like just normal leaf activity throughout the day. At night it is normal to droop, since photosynthesis is not happening, and they are just resting. Day time they should perk up a little.
      Not sure what the right distance is for what you have, but that could have been it. Keep an eye on them, if they start really stretching for the light, inch the light just a little closer, otherwise just keep it there if they look happy.
