my fan leaves all droop after a couple hours of the lights being on. when the lights first come on they look fine and really perky but 2-3 hours later they're droopy as hell. why is this happening?

so noone knows what this is from?
maybe i should add a little more info
im growing in soil
its not rootbound because i transplanted a few days ago by cutting the bottom of the pot off and stacking it on another pot, you know what i mean?
im using 10-54-10 fertilizer every 3rd watering
i water approx. every 2-3 days
im using over 200 watts of CFLs for 2 plants although basically all the light is focused on the one plant
& i can put up some pics if you need them

sorry i c your water schedule and my guess is your in flower because of the nutes. all i can say if you are sure its the lights move them.

they're about 4 weeks into flower
and why would the plant react like this? because they usually droop at night and are perky when the lights are on
is there too much light for the plant? i've never heard of that before
and its not too hot or anything cause i always have the closet door open with a fan going. I only shut it when the lights go off.

The stomata, little pores on the undersides of leaves, respond to blue light and open. If there is a continuous source of light, then the stomata will stay open more often causing more water to leave the plant. therefore they droop.found this<_______________ so i quess it can have to much light or either you are blowing cold air on them. jmo im no expert

yeah i actually have been blowing cold air on them because i thought it may have been heat stress so I'll stop doing that and see if it goes away

sorry for taking so long to reply to this, i've been swamped with midterms and exams and shit. But yeah, the drooping got pretty bad and 2 of the many drooping fan leaves started to die, then all of a sudden one day all was well again for what seems to be no reason. Now my plant looks really healthy again and even the dying leaves have perked right up and look a lot better now.
My only guess as to why it got better is that the plant must have rootbound because it was maybe about a week after i tranplanted that the leaves got better but who knows. I didnt really check when i was transplanting to see if it was rootbound cause i was really baked and i guess i wasn't really paying attention to what i was doing.
