I really doubt it was changing the lights did you just change water or nutes with whatever your call that thing you growing in?

Drooping like that is usually overwatering or underwatering. Check your roots, if they are not bright white, you could have issues with your aero setup, maybe a blocked jet. In hydro/aero, underwatering can be found in aero setups if you have blocked jets and overwatering is essentially lack of oxygen/air to the root zone, usually found in flood & drain or DWC. Check your equipment & roots thoroughly, that is where the problem lies. W

I don't agree that def looks like an issue with your nutes. the top groth shows no signs of over/under wattering. I'm thinking its a phosphorous deficiency. see any purple on the new growth?

PDef.jpg Just dropping? They look like they are on their way to this. Maybe it just me but they look way darker and curled compared to everything else in the photo.
