I didn't know this, thanks for the info! Is it the TOC1 protein levels that makes a plant droopy before lights out?

Not exactly but like in all of nature everything is connected ,what your talking about is a Chlorophyll. production ,the chems that make plants green it is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesise carbohydrates from CO2 and water. This process is known as photosynthesis .this fails at a certain point as the plant can no longer keep this process up. i call this action "blowing out Chlorophyll."

haven't come across this before makes sense tho
need read up more on that
nicely put tho they haven't been going that long on 24 hour now
so should be fine to change??


thank again bro

yes of course ,think of it as jet lag ,it takes time to recover from but all will be fine and you wont even notice.

this plant magic soil is quite dry to almost bone
would it be wise to give them some water or not?

thanks

I cant give info on soil plants as such because although i was a big outdoor grower at one point in my life i grew right in the top soil and it wouldn't really be appropriate for me to comment on soil grows as there many people here that know there soil.

Did you water the soil before pop the seeds in ? (25lte pots) I gave mine a 5ltr drench then let them sit still for a week before I transplanted the lady's in on my grow 1.2. I didn't water until about day 10/12 and then i only gave them 500ml each and then on the next water day 19 1ltr each... I found that they don't need as much water as you think at the start
I would just water (just water or with root stim) a small amount if your not sure, may be 250ml each to be safe.

If you can stick your finger an inch or so into the soil and feel no moisture it is safe to water without fear of overwatering. That is far enough down to get past the soil that is dried from air movement and heat from lights. The moisture at that depth should be close to whats in the rest of the pot as water wants to equalize throughout the pot by capillary action.

What @Slater said They don't need much when young.

My pots are 25ltr and I did it 5 days before they popped, also I did the tier planting method so started them in a smaller pot that was a bit dryer. So far so good.
My understanding of giving the soil a good drench beforehand is that I have a layer of coco at the bottom of my pots to act as reservoir for that first couple of weeks, letting the water sit there and making that tap root drive to the bottom looking for it. The only reason for doing a little water early was because of the tier planting is that the small pot dried out quicker and the smaller roots in it need a little water. On grow 1 when I water I Have been giving them 4ltrs each giving me 20% run off but I'm thinking of dropping to 3ltr which will give little or no run off. They stink so much now that i don't want them out of the tent for to long waiting the run off.
I got a lot of info from FD's Guide to Growing Hefty Autos in Small Places. Its a must read from start to finish.
On my first grow it wasn't until end of week 3 I gave them a drench with about 20% run off. I now go buy the weight of the pot and the finger method...you soon know when its light.
On feeding, my understanding is little is more. Most stuff I've read is that if using a good soil don't feed grow nutes until end of wk 3 -4 and then only half strength and slowly increasingk.
Your plant will tell when you got it wrong...one of mine (the smallest) did not like her feed and got nute burn straight away so I backed off and stop feeding her for couple of waters...I think that was what stunted her, that and maybe the soil was to hot for her... I did feed root stim from day 1 with some seaweed extract (started off at half strength), backed of them at the end of week 3 as i started the grow nutes.
