Strange plant behavior

My 4-week-old autoflower seedling starts the day looking normal when I turn on the light. During the course of the day, the newest leaves in the center gradually become more erect, ending the day nearly vertical. Sometime late in the evening, the older fan leaves begin to droop as if needing water. I turn off the light after 16-18 hours, and in the morning, all the leaves have returned to normal appearance. This has now happened several days in a row. Any suggestions as to what's going on? Thanks!

When my leaves are erect it usually means they're happy.

Full spectrum 2000W LED at about 18" above plant top, light meter reading about 35K lux. Aha! Surprised myself with that reading -- too much light?

Just be happy that they can get it up.
If you had a 2000 watt light that would burn it right out of em.

Many people who grow marijuana have similar problems. My friend also decided to grow a couple of bushes for a couple of years, but something went wrong. He did not set the light correctly, and all three bushes disappeared from him. It was, of course, very sad. Then he found the online dispensary canada and started ordering weed there. And I would advise you to buy a special lamp and start growing again. It is also very important to buy the right seeds. In any case, I wish you good luck with your cultivation.
