Plants drooping badly at night, need help.

uhhwhat

Well-Known Member
The past few days my plants have been going through periods where all the leaves are drooping pretty badly (pointing at the ground). Then they'll pop back up just as quickly (during either the dark or light period) and look really healthy, no yellowing at all but some redness on the branches. It doesn't seem to have to do with the watering schedule. I can't figure it out so maybe you guys can help me, here's some info about the grow:
-Plants are about 16" tall (1.5 weeks into flowering)
-SOG in a 4X4 flood table using hydroton
-flooding 4X during the light cycle (12/12 - every 3 hours) and once in the middle of the dark (the first time they wilted I think it was because they got too dry during the dark period)
-temps in the low 70s during dark and high 70s during light cycle. Humidity yesterday was 45 - 75%.
-2 600W lights about 8" above the canopy
-Nutes are at about 750ppm (ECX500)
Could it be under fertilization?
 
drooping during the dark period is very very common.

What really freaks you out is when you see them begin to do it before the lights go out. it is basically the plant going to sleep for the night time.

Dont worry about it all is fine.

if they are still droppy after the lights are on then you might want to worry, but as for themdropping when light out or at night time thats all perfectly normal.
