My plants are praying all of a sudden, i haven’t watered them today because I gave them abit much yesterday but not too much.
Agreed but it seems like the stretching happend a minute ago the new nodes are closer. I would just put alot more soil around the stem so it's not weakThe leaf contours look fine other than that the plants look like they're stretching. Light might be too far away? Too me they look awful tall and skinny. Wait and see what others say about your leaves.
Nice Im a coco guy too. If you increase the light intensity do it slowly. It's a guessing game unless you have a meter. I usually just keep increasing and keep an eye on my tips of the leaves.Ok I’m using coco perlite 70/30 and I water once a day but only in the middle. Also I’ve been using the light at the lowest level I think 250 watts, should I increase?
You want them to pray . It's a sign of happiness aka worship. They are praying saying thank you!! You'll notice one of the first things you'll run into when you have a pest issue or an irrigation issue you'll see them drooping as one of the first signs of unhappiness.To answer you're question directly, praying hands or one type is an over, under watering issue or nutes. Which I believe is the one you were referring to. Another type, which is like a Y and in my opinion too much light. If you read about it guys like that Y and consider it healthy. Their theory is the plant is funneling light below where it's not reaching. I'm of the opinion it's receiving too much light and is doing that too protect itself. Either way neither theory has been proven least too my knowledge.
Nah , they are reaching for more light , mag toxicity will also make your leaves stand upTo answer you're question directly, praying hands or one type is an over, under watering issue or nutes.

I disagree with statement as well you want those leaves flat and perky not praying - praying leaves there is usually a issue however smallYou want them to pray . It's a sign of happiness aka worship.

Why would more soil make the plant sick?Plants reach for light when they want more, they shy away if its too much. This is too long with too little light. Don't build up soil around the stem unless you want a sick plant. You will need a support stick in each of the pots if you want to keep them vertical for much longer.
What kind of light, HPS? Wattage? Distance from plant tops?
Adding applicable information can get you better advise.
