Another Plant Dying

Magnesium deficiency. 1/4 tsp epsom salt in a gallon of water. Don't over water, since it will lock up nutrients. Use nutrients that have Iron, Magnesium, manganese and calcium on the label. NPK is not enough.

...that leaf curl looks like heat/light stress.....either too much heat, or too little light.
Could be heat, I guess. Too little light, I think not. That would be evident in stretchier growth and smaller leaves.
Bag soils are often mineral deficient. Epsom salt won't hurt, and I would definitely check the heat. Good call, TF.

I see no Mg-def, only moisture stress (search for a thread there, "moisture stress" by Uncle Ben).

I had the same problem. except mine looked worse than yours.... And it took me a lil while before i got to the bottom of it. What is the PH of the water that you are using? it is very important. Mine was tap water and was way too high, it was around 8. now i bring it down to around 6.2-6.5 and they are fine and dandy.. Just an idea to check.

Wow thats weird. You leaf fringes indicated heat stress but those plants are so stretchy!
It looks like they aren't getting enough light. Strange.

Its possible that your root system has issues if new growth is distorted like that. Maybe overwatered

Sometimes I feel invisible :-)

I already said this earlier in this thread, it's moisture stress.

There several ways to get the leaf to look like that, search for the thread by Uncle Ben about moisture-stress.

Your leaves are trying to preserve moisture, by cupping like that - but they are failing.
They will stay like that forever (almost), even after you fix the problem.

Get a stable RH (no wild swings), and temperature.
