Fan leaves flipping upsidedown on their own

Has anyone ever seen a plants top fan leaves turn upside down even though it shows no signs of stress. I've seen leaves following lights when you move em but these lights dont move. they arent droopy they arent lacking N, they just twisted upside down.


Im not looking for a way to correct this as its not really bothering me, just someone that has seen this personally and knows why it does this.

I have seen it happen when a plant gets tied back or repotted. It usually doesn't last long.

Some strains just do that. If you have ever seen SensiStar, it is easily recognized by the twisted leaves. So its going to take you a little time to tell if that is a genetic thing or a product of the environment.

its a cutting that has spent no more than 10 days in a 2gal with promix HP. I do have the nebula tied back and topped but the untouched NLxsourbubble BX3 is the only one doing it. I just chuckled, silly plant and twisted the leaves back around to face the bulb and it just goes right back to being upside down, just the top fans, nothing else.

This plant from seed and never moved. I have noticed that the big water leaves turn vertical and even upside down. and at night all leaves are horizontal. so there is a picture. when taking the before and after picture. one of the fan leaves moved from vertical to horizontal while the other leaf moved from horizontal to vertical. some of the other plants do the same. but only some of the leaves and some of the plants.

I read on a different forum. That the light is too intense. Some will say you cannot have too much light, okay but the light can still be too intense. After increasing the distance between the plant and the light the plant stopped flipping its leaves.
