The past two times that my lights have turned on after the four hour dark period I have noticed that they are drooping. A coulke of hours after the lights come on they are back to normal. Below are pictures... Thoughts?

its their sleep time man.plants as a rule need rest.Notice before lights outthey'll star to droop and SOMEtimes just prior to light firing up they'll look back to normal.Its pretty common to start drooping just prior to lights out or during as well.

Thank you littleT... no, not ovedwatering. I'm watering until i get about 20% runoff. My RH is 45%-55% And my nightime temps are steady at 72F. Any other thoughts?
 
IF they perk back up to perfectly normal after the lights come on, then it is likely just their nightly droop. If you watch a timelase of plants growing on youtube when it gets dark you will see the leaves go down and then back up when its ligth out again. it lokos like they are dancing in a fast timelapse
 
Jeb- this is perfectly normal bro', often magnified by temp. drops... most all of mine outdoors do this at night, sometimes comically so!...not sure of the exact physiology behind it though,... yup, you answered your own question, mate! :grin: ...LOL! IF they go back up after a while during lights on,...
 
Update...

They went back up to normal. Thanks to all that responded to my thread.
