Wilting Leaves, Shade Helped?

ILGM Blueberry auto week 6 since sprout and currently in early flower; Mars Hydro TS1000, light 20/4 on/off.

Plants are wilting so I took the following actions to diagnose.

1. Dried out 1G airports (3 days since H20).
2. PH 6.5 H20 and in sun for 3hrs. Still wilted.
3. Placed in the afternoon shade and finally began to perk up.

Initial thoughts are to lower light intensity in 2x2 tent and perhaps add an additional 2 hours of lights off to 6 (18/6 schedule).

Perhaps they are stressed as a result of light intensity and duration and the wilting is not a result of watering.

Wilting image below, perked up image follows. The change I witnessed can be attributed to putting them in the shade.

Update: Dimmed TS1000 to 75% and ladies in 2’x2’ perked up to resume growth/flowering. The wilting leaves were a result of light intensity and not watering habits.

Good lesson to learn.

It’s called hardening off
They best way is put plants in complete shade for several days before exposing to direct sun
Which is another reason going indoors to outdoors and back is a bad idea :peace:
