yeh looks like a bit of root strangulation. you say the soil is damp and sodden? you could put a fan on your soil to try and get a real good air circulation to the roots. looks like a simple problem. i wouldnt' change the light cycle unless shit starts dying, don't panic you've probably just stunted em for a couple of day's to a week.

you should also put less water on your plant. generally if you see water comming out of the bottom you've watered too much. do not soak your roots. they need air just as much, if not more than water. good luck and don't forget the fan. should sort you in a couple day's or so. if this doesn't work post more info on your problem .

If the plant has been overwatered and not getting the proper oxygen to the roots there is a simple way to fix this. Add 1/4 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the water, then allow to dry out as normal before the next watering. This will add oxygen to the soil for your roots and should perk up your plant in a hurry.
Good Luck and Happy growing

The leaves drooping straight down looks more like they need water?
Ever try using a moisture meter from Lowe's or Home Depot it's like
$6.00 get the one with just a moisture meter! The 3 in 1 meter isn't
as good and the light meter and ph meter are useless!
Did you know you can click on your pic hold the button down and drag'em
down to the bottom of your post so that it is easier to read and you'll get
better responses!

Then again your water might be too wet!:lol:

glad it worked. hydroperoxide is basically a water molecule with an unstable oxygen attached. roots will fucking snatch this unstable oxygen right up if theyve been starved. depending on your soil mix most plants really only need to be watered once or twice a week.
if your soil is really fuckin packed and soaking and slimy i suggest mixing in a few hand fulls of sand or perlite into your mix. drainage amendments are crucial in soil with high levels of organic matter.

The weight of the Soil is compacting itself, you need alot of perlite in that container. Make More Holes around the entire pot up untill 1/2 way to the top ! and use a bamboo stick or iron clothes hanger to POKE into the SOIL.

Yes and as the other man said, kinda looks like NOT enough water.. IF the STEMS begin to bend/droop its lack of water.
