Leaves droop a few hours before light turns off

Pictures on 09/04/2020 are taken later in the day than the rest of the pictures. The leaves droop down every evening at about this time. Is this normal, or is it a sign of light stress? Could they be asking for more darkness, less intense light or should I continue the same?

Hello there. Same thing with my Northern lights. Like clockwork they would start to droop out at hour 19 on a 20/4 cycle. Mine was due to relentless light/heat stress from my lamp and I would presume that's what we're looking at here, as well. I wouldn't change the time as 18/6 is a good cycle. I would recommend moving your lamp up 1-2 inches a day, until you notice these symptoms tapper off. They're just a tad stressed out after a long day. I also see your RH is kicking around 40% and Heat in the day is hovering around 27 degrees. Not bad numbers, but I would suggest balancing out your humidity to heat ratio a bit. Try moving your RH up to 50%+ RH and drop your temperatures by 1-3 degrees, for day time temps. This should also alleviate the stress you're seeing. Need any tips on creating humidity or mitigating heat and/or humidity, drop me a line in PM๐Ÿ‘Œ *I always ask that you wait for another opinion from another site member to verify my response!* Cheers and good luck this week๐Ÿ‘

Hi @eggman the plant is wilted because the substrate is soaked, the roots need oxygen to grow and feed. let the substrate almost dry out between each watering. good luck mate ๐Ÿ‘
