Okay, so my baby is a blueberry plant, in fox farm ocean forest soil In a 5 gallon bucket, using jacks classic fertilizers. It's on it's 41st day from germination and it seems to be unhealthy. The leaves are curling up towards the middle veins, and the tips of every leaf are turning yellow, they also seem really skinny as far as the leaves go. It's under a 150 w Hps and a 90w LED UFO. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Usually with leaves curling up its an environmental issue (I.e. heat, humidity etc). What do yours look/feel like?

Leaves curling downward is usually a media issue. Soils too "hot" or not enough feed etc.

How close is your light? The heat from the lamp may be all that is, and you didn't mention temps.(Temp at leaf level, not room temp.)

I just moved it up about a foot away from the plant. THought that was the problem originally. Thank you guys
What about the yellowing tips? are those a nute deficiency?

Little brown on the tips is nothing to worry about, I get that all the time. Good green color so plenty of nutes.

Ok thank you everyone... I think I'm beginning to see a huge improvement thus far just after moving the lights up.... and aerating the room. Like seriously Idk where I read that it was 2 inches above the plants for the light to be set but i could've been reading about LED's since that's the only thing i've ever grown with. thank you all for the help... i'll keep it posted. Here's another pic of how they are doing now.....

Joe is right its a heat issue get temps under 80 or the plants will stress and be stunted. Signs are there already.
alright thank you temps are under 80. 76 to be exact. but alright here's the further progress.

  • Quick update!!! Give me some feedback! The tops got burnt from the light because my friend forgot to move it up but I fixed it and they seem to be somewhat back on track. Thanks guys!!

If they're burned there's nothing you can do to fix it. Wait till they turn brown then trim dead stuff off with scissors.
 
Sometimes when I've burned a plant the new growth that comes out of the nug is better than the other nugs, just keep going man she'll be fine! A good way to tell if your light is too close is to put your hand right at the top of the plant, if it feels discomfort move the light away.

This looks like it could be an iron deficiency caused either by too high a pH or not enough iron in your nutrients. I recently saw some other threads with LED users successfully tracking down an iron deficiency that for some reason happened only under a particular brand of LED lamp when the lamp was placed too closely. Somehow that particular lamp caused iron to be pulled up much faster causing the plant to outgrow its iron supply.

Iron deficiency affects newer development on the plant. Either fix your pH, or if that's already good, try adding an iron supplement containing challated iron or iron sulfate. (you could just buy iron sulfate). If it fixes the problem, newer growth should start to grow back in green and healthy.

I thought so too... that and the light beig to close. I flushed today to switch to flowering nutes next week so if it is iron def it should show some pretty good signs of it in the next few days and I will know exactly what's wrong. Thanks! overall though guy how does she look?? I feel like this could be a very high yielding plant as it's got about 75-100 bud spots if my math is correct and it's a sativa dominant obviously by the leaves. It's about 3 feet tall when I switched it to flower.
