Every night my leaves seem to be drooping but by the morning they are standing back up. I know plants sleep at night but my lights are on 24/7. Is this still normal for a 24/7 light cycle?

If you watch a plant on a sped up time lapse leaves wave up and down constantly. To me it looks like they are stretching out, like if you have a thick piece of say taffy, the more you bend it back and forth the longer it gets.

If you work hard all day, don't you think you'll get droopy too? This is normal and nothing to worry about.

I dont think they read the whole post, I was confused too when u say they drop at night, but u mean your night, as the plants dont have a night at your house right now.
I keep my lights on 24 hrs also and they are perked up all the time. Do u water right before they do it? Do the temps change? If u keep lights on there is no night for plants, they have no idea what time it is. They are steadily transpiring and producing sugars at lights on. Something has to be changing in the environment for them to do this, most likely u are overwatering them and by the am the excess water has transpired and they are happy again.

I originally thought it was over watering but i havent watered them for two days and they are still drooping. I think it may be because there are windows in the room and even though they are draped some light still gets in. It could also be the slight temp change at night

Yep I missed that he was on a 24/7 cycle. Since I run a 18/7 cycle for veg. Mine droop every night, but are perked back up by morning and have been like that for 28 years. So you got me!

I think u are just trying to confuse the shit out of people, otherwise u really need to do some research before ur next grow, because I think u got it all phuked upe.

Bartman, one of the most common causes of nightime drooping is a big drop in temps. They wrap themselves up just as we would! 
I see you say you are on 24/0 but how big is the drop in temps overnight? This is common in loft/attic grows for example........ even with lights on, if its cold it will drop its leaves. Just another thing to bear in mind......... certainly over watering can cause that too.
Dont worry too much, just natures way....just check those temps maybe?
