Changed to HPS , Plants droopy

Hi all , I recently , like today , removed all the flouros out of the room , and added a 250 watt HPS. The plants are going almost 3 weeks old , and they are very healthy . Anyhow , i go down there after 8 hours under the HPS and they are droopy looking .

When i had flouros the temp was around 67 . The temp only jumped up about 5 degrees . I have the bulb about 13-14 inches away from the tops , and when i put my hand under it , my hand does not feel uncomfortable till i get about 6 inches away from the bulb .

any comments or ideas why my plants look droopy ? They almost look like they need water , but the moisture meter tells me NO NO . Mind you they were healthy 8 hours ago under the flouros .

Just a guess...

But they might just be adjusting to the brighter, more intense, HPS lighting.

Give em a day or two, see how things go. I think they'l be fine.

Jus' mah
