Is it normal for a plant to look wilted at end of day then look
All perked up in morning or is this a problem
I would kind of expect this with a plant outside in hot sun but not in a tent with controlled light and temp

Probably on the edge of too much light. You could raise the light a bit.
What light are you using?

Most places on Earth never receive even 16 hours of continues sunlight in a 24 hour period, so at around that time most plants will lower their leaves, to focus all of their energy on converting the light energy that they have stored up in their leaves, into chemical energy, to build more roots, and to build plant structure! And yeah, plants don't just grow at night, but when a plant detects darkness (via phytochromes), growth hormone production speeds up greatly, which translates into plant growth, or better said, the plant wanting to focus all of its energy on elongating, because it is constantly searching for more light!

in my experience wilting is a water issue... either too much or too little... usually soil is not draining well and overwatering... My plants never droop if I'm watering them properly
