Looks good to me. May be a genetic trait. Plants also do this when they’ve processed all the light they’re going to for the day. So if this a late in the day occurrence then that’s likely the cause.

With it being a auto can I keep light to it 24/7 or does it need some light off ?

From what I have seen lights off is good for a plant, even if it’s just 4 hours. Rest with plants, just like humans, helps them to uptake nutrients and grow.

Exactly what @DieselGRWR said. Sure you can shoot em with 24 hrs of light, but thats like a human drinking energy drinks nonstop and never sleeping… gotta let your girls rest. Its great for root development and with my experience with autos, more yield with an 18/6 schedule.

You can but it’s not necessary. They can only process so much light per day (DLI), after that it’s just wasting light.

Thanks for everyone’s thoughts , I would reply to you all but it’s easier this way . I’m gonna start her on the 18/6

Make sure your light isn’t too close. Don’t go by what the book says. Sometimes you have to find your sweet spot. Mine seems to be around 24" above.

Every GG auto I ever grew did this. It stoped once it got to flowering.

When you water, water for run off It’s hard to over water at the stage your at.
18/6 light schedule is ideal for autos.

That also was a worry that I wasn’t watering enough . With that being said I can water a lil bit more on my next watering .

My last grow was gg4 autos. All three of them looked perfect except for the last 2-3 hours before lights out (18/6). By the time the lights came back on they looked just fine. Makes me strongly agree that plants need some dark time. Drooping stopped for good once they started flowering. I think it’s just something some strains do.

She looks very healthy and your like the 2nd one who has mentioned having that strain and getting the same outcome with the droopy leaves . So that relieves me quite a bit . Thanks
