Leaves take a while to perk up after lights on.

Hi guys. I have 2 gelato autos that are 35 days old. Have them under a ts 1000 on a 20/4 light schedule. They seem to me, that they are doing pretty well. I've noticed in the last week or so that the leaves perk up atleast 3 hours after lights on and have been sleeping atleast 2 hours before lights out. Just wondering if it's anything to worry about or maybe a problem somewhere that I'm missing.
Growing in soil. Over fed a Lil but nothing to bad.

Slight yellowing on tips of new growth on upper plant.

Any input be much appreciated. Tnx in advance

As long as she is fed & watered properly, with an appropriate distance/wattage of light, I haven't had the leaves in a downward position. Always out and up. Hope someone can help you figure this out.

Pictures definitely help.

I'm an LED newb but I have that same light for veg and noticed that behaviour when I had the lights too bright initially. Have you messed around with phone PPFD apps? If not, now might be a good time. Not all phones sensors are accurate, I bought a cheap lux meter instead that hooks up to the app.

Pay attention especially to the DLI reading. Basically there's only so many photons the plant can take in during one day and when you exceed it the plant droops/shys away from the light.

Just my guess.

Tnx for the replies peeps. After some googling I'm kind of leaning towards a mag deficiency. Any seconders or better assessments

I honestly have never done any tests like you. This is my third indoor grow. Think I need to invest in some stuff to get my things in order. Something for pH and for ppm.

Guys do u think it possible for autos to get too much light

I think it’s possible to hit your plant with too much light if everything else isn’t dialed in. Feed, environment (Temps,RH,CO2, air flow)

I think it’s the same on the flip side. Let’s say the question was “ is it possible to over feed?”
It would depend on the same factors pretty much. You’d only swap out feed for light in your equation.
