The wilting never goes away

    Ok, I've had a post before about the wilting and droopiness. Last time it stayed for like two weeks. I had a regular industrial led light. The plant went back to normal for a little while but I put in a new light and ever since then my plant has stayed looking like this. I haven't over watered it or under watered it because I'm on top of it from last time but it's been like this for a couple weeks now... It's definitely still growing but wth can this be from???

    Usually a drooping plant is the result of either over watering or under watering. But you say that's not the case here. If that's not the case then it has something to do with nutes, PH, lighting, heat, humidity, temps etc. How high are the lights above your plant? What substrate are you using? What nutrient recipe are you using? What is the PH of your water after you've added nutes? What ppm reading are you seeing? What is your water/feed schedule?

    How much perlite did u mix with your medium? Is that coco in the bucket? I usually do a 50/50 mix. How’s the drainage in that bucket?

    I've used the "1000 watt" version of the Vipraspectra. It's a decent light for the money, but I would say that is not your problem. It's just not powerful enough to cause light stress issues IMO, unless you've got it way too close. It really looks like a watering issue. Maybe get a meter to measure how wet the soil is in the root zone?

    If new lights are causing this, then it's almost certainly the light.
    Light stress can be overcome by a plant, but it takes a while.

    That's probably what happened to you.
    The plants drooped, then got used to too much light, and improved.

    If those were my plants, I'd raise lights high to 36 inches or so for a few days, and see what happens.

    Even if that's wrong, a few days of too-little light won't do noticeable harm.

    How are you checking the soil?

    How are you watering? and what's the drainage like in that bucket? It looks like over watering to me.
