Plant in shock, I don't know weather to keep the lights on or turn them off
Ok, so the deal is, I only had one pot for two plants, so i took the plants out and seperated the pot with plastic. Anyway, during this process, half of both root systems were destoyed :( So when I put them back in at a 24/0 veg cycle, the leaves just kinda turned completely down. So to help the root system grow back, I turned the lights off and they seemed to improve, the leaves were straight up again. So I turned them back on and within an hour, they were back down. So I had the lights off for about 7 hours last night, turned them on this morning, and at this time, the leaves are like halfway. I guess they are improving, but my question is, should I just keep them on 24/0 right now, or turn the lights off tonight, then resume the 24/0 tomarrow? (btw the soil was damp and was watered today)

My thought would be that they only do that when the light is on.... then maybe they are getting too hot. What kind of temp are you keeping the growspace around? Heat will make the plants wilt a bit. Make sure you have a way of keeping the heat in check.

Also don't water too much either cuz that can cause the problem. You should only water when the top layer of the soil is dry to the touch.

u shouldnt have them on 24/0 dude thats why your plants r tweaked out.... put them on 18/6 n they will do much better... your plant grows at night.... so if u dont have a bedtime for them they will either be hermaphradite... or shocked to death...

Not true
Yes plants do grow at night, but a lot of people have had great success with 24/0 veg lighting

yes it is true... your plantswont grow untill u shut off the light... so if u do 24/0 for how ever u wont see a MAJOR defference untill u shut off light .... like with sativa's the trick is too shut off lights for 3 days.... THEY WILL GROW..... like 1 -2 feet.... your plants needs to rest it's alive... so think off it how would u feel if u were up 24/7 wid no sleep u wouldnt function right... well plants r the same...

wow you should be banned for giving advice like that. ive always vegged in 24/0 and always had no problems... there is nothing wrong with the lights on 24 hours for veg. some people say it vegs faster some people just say that it wastes electric. if you shut your lights out for 3 days your going to shock the plant into flowering stage then possibly herm if you keep doing that

LOL!!! I've NEVER run 18/6.
By your logic, I should NEVER have had any plants grow!
Here's a good rule to follow:
If you are convinced that your plant is in shock from transplant, root trimming, root rot, etc., MAINTAIN your previous light schedule and DECREASE the intensity of the light. The thrid thing I do is do a LIGHT foliar mist of an anti-transpirant- lately I've been using SMC leaf shine.
The point is, photoperiod changes add stress. So don't change that. But if your plant is transpiring water faster than the roots can replace it, you're in trouble, so slow the plant down by raising the lights.
I have a 'backup' t5 fixture in my grow room so if I have a problem I can just kill the HIDs and run flourescent until the danger has passed.
