My current grow is autoflower grow .. 5 x space mango 3 x blueberry 2 x amnesia, growing in a 4x4 under a 600w hps, my medium is Coco and I'm using general hydroponics micro,grow,bloom 1/3 strength feed,water,feed etc.. also they're in 10 litre pots, lights come on at 6am an turn off at 12am, I've noticed that when it gets to 5-6pm they start drooping really bad an don't change till the next morning, I'm wondering if it's because its night time an they're getting ready for lights off.. or is will it be because they need feeding for a second each day? They're currently 2-3 weeks into flower.btw they aren't drooping in the pics..they're just to show how big they are.

Plants drooping at the end of a light cycle is normal
Not sure where you live but most places in the US offer reduced electrical rates usually at night
Where I live the lowered rate is after 8pm and before 11 am
You could save cash by checking with your power distributor and changing your light on cycle to at night hours
Saves on cooling too

Did you say you’re using hydroponic nutrients? If so, that could be a problem. However, if they are doing well and are growing healthy I would suggest you change to a soil nutrients for better results.

Thank God for that lol. I live in the UK mate I wish I could have the lights on at night but due to light leaks through the duct ports etc people would be able to notice what I'm doing unfortunately! Tbh it's not as expensive as what I thought an it's certainly cheaper then getting through an Oz of bud a week

wicked, if they’re growing well and are healthy then you’re doing something right. Make sure to post a pic when your girls are ready to harvest

The cost effectively got me too, my whole grow cost me about the same as 2oz of weed.
