insufficient light?

My new led light i think is not the right spectrum.. my plants leaves don't perk up very much and point upwards when the light is on.. I'm new at growing, but I don't think that is normal.. Shouldn't they perk up towards the light same as they do with natural sun light?

what lights?
what distance?
hows your enviroment?
etc...

Yes they will if everything is dialed in correctly. The more info you give the more we can help determine why your plant isn’t happy

Do you just follow BK wherever he goes, lol? Are you there to wipe his butt.

the light is a china made light similar to mars 3000 its in a 5x5 tent the temp about 31c with light on... if i put the light much closer it will start to canoe the leaves. but the point at the light.. do you think i haven't found the sweet spot distance.. they aren't elongated like what could happened with insufficient light?

Did you just add the light. They need a little time to adjust to the intensity of the LED's. Otherwise what's the soil or medium you're using and nutes?

yes the light is kinda new they were outside about 2 weeks ago. nutes are general purpose 20 20 20 and i probably haven't been giving

enogh

what size is the tent and whats the wattage of your light?
do you have a dimmer onboard?

They are greener than the Star Wars plants ever have been so you’re doing something right.

That looks like coco What is your watering/feed regime?

Changing lights can change schedule

my tent is a 5x5 and i water every 2 or 3 days. I've been working the nutes up to 500+ ppm of my 20 20 20 fertiliser. i was giving 200+ ppm. Im just trying to give enough without burning them.. the soil they are in is a mix of rice husk sand and some reg soil with a tiny bit of compost. I didnt make the soil on the remote island i live on there really isn't much choice for soil. i know this soil is weak with out much nitrogen at least because they need plant food basically as soon as they pop 200ppm helps them grow and no yellowing. the soil is under 2 inches of river sand because gnats
