When the leaves are reaching toward the light its a good thing, it means they are happy lillte girls soaking up the lumens

what he said!

i find if i run my veg on 24hrs of light they dont do that, i prefer 18/6 so they have a more natural cycle, so they 'relax' and recover at night and when sun comes, they reach for the sky!
i know im getting big buds when they flowering girls are reaching all the way to the end.
my first few grows it never happened, then magically, one day i checked and happy girls! I love that

Happy plants reach for the sky



like this^

 

[reckon]

now when you come in at night and see the leaves pointing to the ground don't freak out.

it'll LOOK like they are wilted, but flick a leaf stem and you'll see they are quite turgid (stiff/hydrated)

totally normal IF the plants are happy

nice work.

Depends all right. While fans 'reaching for the sun' may be a sign of vigorous growth, 'praying hands' type of up in the air might be a sign of a phosphorous deficiency.
