Here is a pic at end of light cycle do you think this is due to the fact they are ready for the light to be off

It is normal, the plant has reached it's wilt point and no matter how much water is in the soil the plant cant take it up fast enough. You said the room does not go above 80, even at 79,80 deg. the plants can reach a wilt point. If you watch a plant outside in nature, often times in the heat of the day a plant will wilt because it just can't take up enough water but as the sun goes down and temps go down the plant springs back up because it is able to take up enough water. Hope this makes sense
If you notice it does not seem to be happening on the little seedlings since they don't have as much leaf mass yet and their root system is able to keep taking up enough water..
 
i used to see this and it really puzzled me. After reading al b fuct's thread and others i upped my nute levels for younger plants. as soon as i have 'root' and true leaves i go to 1000ppm. All late photoperiod droopage ended. it was like throwing a light switch.
