While drooping leaves are often related to a plant's internal water pressure (turgor pressure), it is not always the only or primary cause. But I don't see any nutrient symptoms that would indicate it was nutrient based. Only droop. Plant's leaf position and movement are heavily determined by turgor pressure, this pressure provides the rigidity and structural strength that allows leaves to maintain their position and orientation. Turgor pressure is the driving force behind cell expansion and elongation, which determines the final shape and size of a developing leaf and petiole. Turgor pressure is primarily driven by osmosis. Osmosis is the process responsible for the net movement of water into the cell. Osmosis is crucial to the rate of transpiration because it drives the initial uptake of water by the roots and the movement of water into leaf cells to replace the water lost through evaporation. At normal atmospheric CO₂ (around 400 ppm), the optimal LeafSTemp for photosynthesis in most plants is generally between 77°F and 85°F. Transpiration occurs at 3x the rate at 86F as it does at 68F. Airflow also adds transpirational pull. Not enough pressure creates stress, Too much pressure creates stress. Balance.

Leaves curling down is typically a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. At 30cm from your 23DLI light, that distance should be fine - not a light stress issue. Check these: 1. Let your soil dry out more between waterings - stick your finger 2 inches deep, should feel dry 2. Make sure your pots have good drainage holes 3. Check your temps - if it's too hot (above 28°C), this can also cause drooping The plant will recover once you adjust your watering schedule. Water less frequently but more thoroughly when you do water. Hope this helps! 🌿

Nein. Lichtstress färbt die Blätter hell, dort wo sie der Lampe am nächsten sind. Das ist ne klassische überdüngung

Nothing to do with lights, this is the first sign that you are over feeding your plants or that the original soil mix was too "hot"

This can happen two hours before lights out. When was photo taken and what do they look like when light first comes on?
