I am growing 3 2 fast 2 vast autoflowers. They are in a 48"x24"x60". Grow tent. They are thriving and have been since germination. They are entering Week 3 of flower stage and will not take to my bloom switch. They do not like the red light. Every time I turn the bloom switch on the top flowers and leaves start to Droop. I figured it was just too hot because I am running 2 1000w LED grow lights. A Tolly's 1000 and a King LED 1000. I took the Toley's LED out and used the King alone. I switched veg and Bloom on raising the LED light up and down trying to find the sweet spot and they continued to Droop. I removed the King and put the Toley's back in thking that the King LED was just too hot since it is the brighter of the 2. I repeated trying to find the sweet spot again but all i got was droop. They have never liked the red light. I tried to run both vedge and Bloom switches on at the beginning of vedge stage and they didn't like it then and they don't like it now. They just don't like the red light? My buds are as big as the average size thumb on top and both 1000 Watt LEDs are on veg switch blue and they look great. why do my plants not like the bloom switch? Plz help.

Problem= Top of canopy droops when switching to bloom.

Medium and feed= 1/3 of smart pot fabric mixed with Foxfarm Happy Frog and Nutrien Life supersoil concentrate. The other 2/3 Happy frog. The germination, seedling, and veg stages will have enough nutes until flowering but when the autos reach flowering the roots will then have dug deep into the pot into the supersoil where it should have enough nutes until harvest. Thats the plan and theory anyway.

Water source= Tap PHed in between 6 and 6.5.

Strain and age= 2 fast 2 vast. A fast and vast/northern lights indica/stativa hybrid indica dominate auto. Entering week 3 of flower.

Light used= A 1000w Tolys LED and a Kingplus 1000w LED. About 280-300 true wattage. Both with dual switch. 15 - 20 in from cannopy throughout life.

Climate= Temperature always in between 25°-27°c and Humidity in between 55-65% in veg and preflower. Now 25°c stable and 40-55% humidity while in flower.

Additional info= the plant has thrived until now. Never any leave discolorations or insect infestations. Never under watered. lightly over watered once but i responded quick and fixed error and it bounced back in hours. other than that perfect health and growth until now. when i switched my LEDs to bloom ther started to droop. Every time. I quickly turn the veg back only and the leaves pop right back up. I curently have taken the Tolys Led out and raised the King to 35 inches with the bloom and veg switch on hoping that will fix problem.

This is at night time with LEDs off and green light on for the pics.
 
Plants always droop at night and starting an hour before lights out. What do they look like 30 minutes after lights on?
