For the past week my plants have been facing up after the 6h of light. I’m on day 20 of flower and they Bud are still very small. What can this be. I don’t have any light leak. They look healthy but Is weird It keeps facing up like protecting the bud not letting light in or something . What you guys suggest it is ?

If they are reaching up towards the lights that is usually a sign of healthy activity. The leaves are trying to absorb as much light as possible. 6h of light does not seem like enough tho so maybe bump up to a 12/12 schedule?

It's the leafs that do the work building the bud, the bud itself has very limited ability to absorb light, exhale oxygen, evaporate water etc.
What I'm seeing looks normal for some strains.

What kind of lights are you using and how far are they from the top of the canopy?
Looks to me like they may be reaching for light. I have also seen some strains do this the first week or two of flower. They usually fix themselves pretty quick if this was the case.
Let us know some info about the lights you're using and height

Yes, thank for the helps.
They are high pressure sodium 1000w
They are aproxímate 2m ( the top of the plant to the light )
The levels of co2 ( 900ppm )
I really never seen all the plantA stressed this way. At night they all point to the sealing except the fan leafs. It apresd like the leaf is not letting the bud grow it tries to cover it like a shell. Any suggestion. I’m on day 20 of flower

Man your just tripping, your plants are fine. You don’t have to keep starting new threads for the same question.
If anything they look like they might be wanting more light.
