seedlings drooping over night ... any advice ?

[bobbyhardcore]

ive got 3 seedlings in a closet and in the dark periods the little leaves are drooping. When i turn the light on the leaves soon reach up again. I'm using a HPS 400 watt lamp system but have put it at the top of the closet as i dont wanna burn the seedlings but will lower it as they get stronger so they don't stretch. Any help would be good ? Is this a serious problem ? Is it anything to do with lack of drainage cos my last harvest i had to cull a few as there was a problem with drainage.

Cheers

Bob

Do you sleep with the lights on?

Don't wake them up in the middle of the night.. they get very cranky.

In the future also, you don't need to post the same thread 3 times.. once will do.

Thanks.

i see u r in a bitchy mood haha. i posted it three times as its not busy on any of the forums and i need a reply. Ive got the light on a timer so i don't disturb them. Did u get woken up in the middle of the night ? Cranky ?

No... this is not a plant problem.. this is a very Newbie problem.. that is why i deleted the other threads.. this "problem" does not need to be read 3 times. Also, these forums are busy almost all the time.. being the size of site that it is.

I'm not bitchy.. or cranky.. you obviously missed the point of my post. I gave you the answer you were looking for.. but you were more concerned about reposting it three times that you don't know the answer to your question.. even when it's given to you.

So i ask you again... in relation to the original post in this thread and the reason why you posted in the first place..

Do you sleep with the lights on?

No?

Neither do plants... get what i'm saying now?

They droop at night because they are sleeping....that's it.

I simply don't see a reason behind posting any thread more than once in a grow forum.

Bob.

for a forum moderator you have a seriously bad attitude. As for calling someone a NOOB well take out an O and thats u dude. You don't go around acting all smart and smarmy cos it makes you seem like an idiot, my personal opinion anyways. As for ur advice why not just say their sleeping, instead of trying to be a smartalec. As for posting 3 times ive already told u the reason, to get an answer, and so far i have recieved 3 replies, only from you and to be fair you've done nothing but make me dislike you. Well Done on your accomplishment. Sort yourself out MODERATOR!!!

I closed the thread with you whining about the way i replied to this thread.. and i'm closing this thread.. because there's no more information to give you. Infact.. be sure to keep an eye out for my advice in the future... you'll notice i won't be giving it to you.
