they sag when the lights are off b/c they don't have any light to stretch up to. and when the lights are on, they're perky. how old are you man? that should've been common sense. turn the light off, the plants droop, turn the light on, they perk up again.

ok first of all the lights are on when they are saggy and when the lights go off they perk up and stay that way
Are you in veg or flower? How far along? I had a similar thing while my plants were in veg (and I know a couple others did to) where the did droop at the end of the day with the lights on...

We came to take it as a sign they were ready for flower. It was like he planst were saying "F*** all this light I'm ready for bed..." Soon after I switched to 12/12... and all was good :)

heat stress? maybe overwatering . . by the time its lights out some evaporated somes drained and shes feeling better . .
what ur temps like? what u feeding? how old ? what light cycle u usin?
i know so many questions - but its the best way to get to the bottom of things . . even better give us a look!

no its cool all the question will in return give me help.....well this is the fourth week i had a bad week of nute burn with the AG nutes. but its only like five inches. i really dont want to flower yet, temps good around 78. my ph range is 5.4 -5.6. And yes its coming at the end of the 18 hr light cycle. its a ice 2002 from nirvana and its wierd cause it stinks bad already. but its just not that big and i dont want a tiny ass yield lol. and also i have a bag seed its like 3 weeks and it seems to not want to get big the thing just keeps getting fatter and not taller its really weird. i probably sound dumb but it is my first grow

Morning all-See we have some newby's-Hey all. Thanks Token! I like since I lsted her all the buds are straight up. Got about 4-5 tops too. Next res change when you wash out tub, dry bottom before you stick cup to it. I had one doing the same thing, should stay if bottom is dry before you stick it.

Siksol, my kit came w/rockwool too. First you need to soak it in ph'ed water over night. When placing in net pot put some hydroton on bottom then rockwool, then fill around, easy! I usually germ in paper towel then use a pen to open hole in rockwool, stick it in taproot down. It stays in there the whole grow. I have even re-used it. Fill tub to 1/2-1 inch below pots, no nutes untill roots hit water. Bubbles will keep rockwool wet. Sit back and watch em grow. Hydro is way easy. What kit did you get? What lights do you have?

Looking good Eddie! Cool cabinet!
Thanks for the advice, I got the Stealth Hydro DWC kit, 4 gal with 4 pots. For lights I have 8 23w CFL 6500k's and a 150w HPS. should be plenty for four plants in a small closet. Whats the Ideal, water temps, PH level etc for hydro?

Yeah thats a nice little light set up... basically what I use :)

pH you want the ideal 5.8

temp for water you want around 60-70 F or so... I need to get a heather for my next grow.. mine's too cold me thinks... I dont have fat roots like some do
