Plant Question

So growing an autoflower and about half way through. Typically when the lights come ( at 4:30pm as i set the six hours of dark during the hottest part of the day as my tent is in the garage) on the plant is perky and healthy and no issues. Check it before bed always and looks great. Then i check it in the morning and sometimes the plants wilt every so slightly, what can cause this? It’s subtle but definitely not the same perkiness, seems like it happens during the night, ~12 evening to 7/8am? Any thoughts

This is an example, just wilted ever so slightly. Again i pH the water to 6.0-6.5, use FF (quarter strength per gallon) once a week, rest is pH water With a little cal/mag, light is Mars Hydro TSW2000 and i also air stone my water 24hrs prior to water.

They always do that. It's kind of like they go to sleep at the end of the light cycle. looks like l they could use a little more nitrogen.

Thanks for the advice!! I’ll up the bites slightly!! Just trying to be cautious as i know autos are sensitive with nutes!

I think what you can do is check what the min and max humidity values are on the hygrometer, my one has that function over the last 6 hours, that can give you an indication of how humid the plant gets when lights are off at night and when humidity is higher and temps are lower. My plants used to wilt and have issues from being in a cold, humid garage. Moved the tent inside and immediate difference!

looks good man
*some tip burn actually, what do u feed them with?

I only do a quarter strength of the Fox Farms nutrients. And add a little cal/mag due to the LED, from what I’ve read. What’s a safe way of adding more nitrogen without burning them? Could it also be light burn?

Sadly i have a small ranch and have no room in the house. Once i eventually move i hope to make a whole room setup in a basement.

never used FF tbh mate, i would say this plant can cope with full power nutes, but thats just me. as i can see, the buds already started to form, so the N levels should be lowered anyway.

Worm casting is a safe way to add nitrogen. It is not light burn. That could be adding to the problem if it is to close though.
