Hi all!

I've been vegging my plants for 45 days, and yesterday I switched over to 12/12 and switched to a 600W HPS bulb. Earlier i had a 600 MH bulb and 18/6 light schedual.

But this day when the lights went on for the first time in their flowerphase after the long night, the plants are all droopy like hell! It's not a watering issue, the soil is moist a couple of inches down and I watered yesterday morning. And they are not overwatered either as I watered them earlier when the medium was bone-dry.

Here are some pictures.

They are all white widows.. Is this normal after switching to 12/12? This happend over one night!! :( They have been perfectly fine so far, and there hasn't been any droopy leaves through the entire lifecycle so far.. And now this setback!

I have a cooltube and the temp is good!

Yeah. But it's so strange. They seemed to be stressed after the dark-period, cause the light had only been on for about 1 hour when I checked and saw the misery..

So the drooping must have started when they noticed the dark period is the double (12 hours) compared to the six hours before.

I will. gah, the waiting when your plants looks sad is the worst.. You just want to add a touch of magic and make them perk right up again. :D

The problem was watering. Allthough the soil was a little moist a couple of inches down, it clearly wasn't enough. So after a good old watering they are peaking right backup again.. :D

Never heard of it, will look it up though. Anyway, hypochondriac? No way! :) Compare these photos and you'll see.
