That's not anything major... maybe knock 1/2 to 1 hour off your light cycle. maybe it is still a reperussion of the 360w applied. so, give it time to react... small issue so you can be patient. depending on efficacy, you may only need 25w/sq ft to provide roughly maximum DLI relative to ambient co2 and mostly uncontroled environmental variables. if your light has accuract specifications, can google how to calculate DLI / ppfd etc (daily light integral) to havea good guesstimate if you are near that ceiliing... this isn't mean to be super precise, but it will be accurate... a good ballpark concept to apply with confidence. if it's drooping more severely, maybe kick it down to a 16/8 cycle for 3-7 days... then, slowly increase the light schedule. if there's any lingering effect from the 360w applied, that would go a long way to mitigating it.

*** need an edit in this sentence depending on efficacy, you may only need 25w/sq over 18 hours ft to provide roughly maximum DLI relative to ambient c photons/s is measured in umol/s.... so hours of use will be directly 1:1 proportional to affecting DLI. add 25% more time, ceteris paribus, adds 25% DLI. you'll see that in any properly pregenerated DLI table. the plant can quite literally only handle X photons per day relative to various environmental variables. force feeding will be obvious when you see negative symptoms like wilting for long periods of time at end of day or even light buns on leaves, but the latter are not required.

Leafs often go down a bit while in ''sleeping'' mode(lights off)... To me this is perfectly normal :) And 15 hours of light for autoflowers is oke, not that much but oke. They can even do 18-20 hours. I know people that do 24hours(risky). Your plants will be fine :) Goodluck
