Leaves are drooping after swithing to new tent with more light

I'd be re-checking ph and nutes before removing a plants energy source.

I’ve just had the same problem, I repotted a huge plant from 30L to 48L and the drooping stopped

The closest thing I found to the rust spots on lower leaves is Cal def.
As for droopiness, If it was me I would check the root system for smell or discoloration.
I really hope you figure it out and solve the problem.

Yes... but I am giving cal mag every watering so I don't get it
I didn't solve it... every day again and again

if theyre looking better after the dark and then later after hours of light are drooping again, then its probably light shock. some strains need way less than others.

They look the best after dark and couple of hours of light.
But I move out one light didn't help.

Looks like the love the light but it too much hours, possible?
Can I switch to 12:12 in this stage? (remind you this is auto and now on 20:4)

Thanks

I am checking, ph is 6+- and ppm is 1100 when giving nutes.
run off water are also was 1100+-

Yes I think this is my last solution...
I know transplant an auto during flower stage is not a good idea, but the current situation is bad..

And since the drooping is mostly on one plant than the other, I guess it can be connected to the roots? I don't know any more..

I swapped from T5s to a 240w 4k led the plants went down hill rapidly, when I lifted the light to 30" they recovered.

I recently upgraded my light and I have had to dim them and move them to 30in above the plant I was worried this was to far away

I want to sum it up to be clear

Drooping is in cycle.

1. always after watering and before watering
2. looks good at start of the day after 1-2 hours of light
3. drooping always at the end of the day
4. drooping is mostly in one plant, the other is less drooping but still droop...


My questions

1. Can I switch to 12:12 or 18:6 of something if you think this is light?
2. Can I transplant it with good change of success?

What Causes a Calcium Deficiency?
Calcium deficiency macro of leaf.
There is a wide range of issues resulting in a mild to severe calcium deficiency. If the growing medium is too acidic or less than 6.2 pH, the result is often calcium being locked out by the plant even when enough calcium is present. Other issues include:

• Other nutrients can be locked out due to an excess of calcium
• The plants are being fed with either reverse osmosis or filtered water
• Plants grown in soil with no calcium supplementation
• The pH level is too low
• There is not enough calcium in the tap water for specific areas
• Plants grown outdoors in acidic soil with a pH level under 6.2
• Cannabis grown in coco coir or hydroponics without the supplementation of calcium

How to Fix a Calcium Deficiency in Plants

• Make certain the pH level is correct for the specific growth medium
• pH water should be used to flush the entire system
• Use a calcium-magnesium supplement

One of the key reasons for a calcium deficiency in plants is the pH level at the roots is either too low or too high. When the pH level of the root zone is not correct, the plants are unable to absorb the necessary calcium at the root level. The most important step is testing the pH level for the specific growth medium. When the plant is grown in the soil, the roots need a pH level between 6.2 and 7.0.
If there is a calcium deficiency, the pH level should be as close to 7.0 as possible. This is because the roots can absorb calcium at a higher pH. If the level is not a minimum of 6.2, the roots will be unable to absorb much calcium. If hydro is used as the growth medium, the recommendation is keeping the pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. Once again, the higher levels are recommended for efficient calcium absorption.

Ok I talked with nirvana and am swtiching to 16:8 today as they said.

Any opinion on transplanting them to a bigger pot ?
Currently in 11LT
I want to move them to 18LT

Today they are 49 days since seed.

Good idea or not?

Thanks

The problem that they drink and the pot is very light and they droop.. they soil is getting very dry

How much and how often are you watering them? This sounds like they're drinking everything you give them and they go dry. If the pots go airy light, they need more water. If you can't water them enough, they need bigger pots.

Yes, do it. I transplant up to 5gal (18 ltr) at 6 weeks in veg, using fabric pots. If I were in plastic I'd probably do it in week 4.

Yes they are drying very fast compare to feminize strains I grew before.
Yesterday morning I watered 3.5 liter each, today 36 hours later they are very light and they need again..

Its an auto flowering strain, this is why I afraid of transplanting

update : 16:8 rulezzz!!!

This strain is not good for 20:4.
That's all. No issues. Not air issue. No light issue and not a nute issue.
Just light scheduler... 20:4 is not good for this strain. 16:8 is the way to go, no more drooping!

The thing is that the leaves are thin and narrow, specially for Indica.

Nothing I can do now beside water and feed.

Still thinking if to transplant it, reading this, not sure...

Thanks for that link. I think I might get smaller pots for my auto's. I have 5 gallon now.

2 fans pointing directly at the plants? That can't be good... You wanna set them like this View attachment 4864760

This..
Just two days ago i set up a new filter and was worried that maybe it couldnt vent my aircooled hood good enough so i left a fan pointing at the plants. Next day i go in i see the plants closer to the fan drooping and the ones further away were doing fine. My fist thought was just that.. too much wind damage caused it to wilt

Thanks, they are very weak fans and only one is working and not direct anymore

This can happen anytime you change lights, especially if the light is more powerful than what the plants are used to. Wattzzup is right, if the plants look stressed, you should raise the lights, let them recover, then lower them little by little each day until you hit your target height.

This happend to me when i went from a cheap Philizon light to HLG 600 Rspec. Then my plant got droopy as my ex girlfriend

update 2:

After reading a lot and consult with Nirvana support, I decided not to transplant.
I also changed to tap water, I don't trust the RO water as I found out it has a calcium supplement build in and I am not sure if its good.
So far so good.

I will update before harvest,
Thanks
