I'm growing 9 white widow autos.. I'm in for soil 75/25 mix happy frog and ocean forest.. 5 gal buckets... have not added nutes at all... germinated on 11/20 .. fan leaves started to roll up like a taco.. not heat issue.. plants have never seen 80 degrees.. running 1000 D.E. yield lab hps and 2 600 watt black dog LED.. plants are arranged in about an 8x8 area.. leaves seem to be green and plentiful just started getting thick and rolling in... my gut says to much light... 20161216_134111.jpg 20161216_134123.jpg 20161216_134159.jpg 20161216_134323.jpg 20161216_134135.jpg

Plants are like us in a way. While we can go no sleep for a while. Productivity increases with a resting period.

You'd be better off with a 20-4 cycle. Or an 18-6.

People do it. I personally like to give the a break. I break the light on times up to. 6/1 four times a day.

Mine are starting to do the same thing, my temps are not high at all (70-77)... i don't over water, only very light nutrients (once, just water until the issues resolves). i just raised my light considerably, now i wait to see if it helps.

Edit: im on a 20/4 light cycle
