Droopy leaves at night?

So I’ll try to make his as short and informative as possible. Started late, 6 weeks oldOutdoor chocolate hashberry in 5 gallon pots, one of which gets droopy leaves (all of them) at night, the other one’s leaves drop at night but about half as much. They look awesome during the day, and they started flowering last week. Is that a big enough issue to justify correcting during this phase? Also, wtf is it? Thanks in advance!

Using Foxfarm Oceanics
Big bloom every other watering (which lately is every 2-3 days at noc. Northern CA

Pics would help. Some drooping is normal, as plants get ready for bed, they will send water and the sugars they produced back into the soil, and leaves will hang a bit. If you watch some time-lapse videos on growing, you can see the plants are dancing from night to day. However, excess drooping can be from improper watering habits. I had it happen, only to auto's, never photo plants, and was told it was normal, but the more i saw it, it just didn't seem normal to droop as much as mine did, about 3-4 hours before lights out, for me it was not enough water, since then i never had one droop like that. So in the end, it depends to what extent they droop:)

Agree with that - If early morning they look like 'praying' with hands turned to the sky, you're good.

My outdoor plants also have major leaf droop at night and in the morning looks a totally different plant!

Seemed to just be a nocturnal issue. For future chocolate hashberry growers, id say don’t let it bother you. They’ve been taking right off at 8am

What happens when you go to sleep...your body goes limp. It's no different for a plant. They relax, their systems shut down and they sleep...hence the droop. When the sun comes up, they perk back up...just like you. You're golden; don't sweat it. Remember these plants...any plant...is a living organism. It times itself to the photo period and just like all of us, they can and will form habits around this. When it gets closer to our bed times, our bodies seem to know it, we wind down, we get slower, we yawn, we're tired, we sleep....plants are no different.

COMPLETELY NORMAL! All cannabis plants leaves droop at night, then perk back up with light. Some drains may droop a bit more than others but that's it. No worries. Your babies are happy. Keep it up! Hope that helps. Peace

mine use to droop about 2 hrs before lights out, than look superb in the morning but now they droop all the time and are struggling. Maybe for me the droop before lights out was a sign of bad things to come.

If they droop before lights out then could be a watering issue mate, too much or too little!

Thanks man, I actually solved the issue, I think it was a little bit of both. Slightly normal, and I was also a little too generous on the water as well. Now we’re 2 weeks away from a good harvest!
