Autoflower Plant pointing upwards, not Praying.

I got into the habit of watering the plants every 6 to 7 days. Around time of watering, maybe an hour or two later, the leaves would point straight up. First time observing this but after the day passes they go into a praying position, nicely perked.

Anyone have some information on why this is happening?

Googled things like Cal-mag to Heat Stress, et cetera. Using a XS 1500.

5 gallon fabric pot

Strain unknown.

Well without pictures I can’t say for sure but it sounds like a good thing. Have you ever seen a time lapse of cannabis growth? They do like a flapping with their leaves as they stretch upwards. If the plant looks healthy I’d say it’s just a growth spurt from proper watering frequencies and light intensity.

Never seen it happen before, right now, everythings absolutely normal. This wasn't a typical prayer thing, it was the stop leaf going straight up. Dimmed the light abit and watching out for the Temp just in case.

We could definitely use more info and some pics, everything is going to be a guessing game. 6-7 days does sound a little crazy but I have no idea what soil you are in and it might not have good drainage. Iv never see cannabis leaves stand straight up from stress. Only droop, claw or wilt.

Using Happy Tree Frog, added Perlite, give her a gallon once every 5/6 days, at one point fed her on the 7th day. again, trying to avoid over watering which I was doing a lot. She's a straight up month so far and started to pre-flower a week again or so.

I give 1 gallon feedings in 5 gallon bags about every 4-5 days. Never longer. If your leaves are pointing up it’s light avoidance. Meaning the leaves in your situation.

So how about them pics?
Sounds like it could just be a normal reaction.
