Curvy green leaves??????

Check out these photos. Notice the downward curving of most leaves. The yellowish you see is simply the HPS lighting reflecting off the leaves. The leaves are a nice deep green. This curving seems to be more pronounced as time progresses. 23 days into 12/12. What is going on? Shouldn't these leaves be stretching out more striaght to recieve photons? I have been using fish emulsions with bloombuster water soluble nutes. Possibly, too much fish emulsions? I usually give with every watering. I hope someone can help here...

Are these pictures of a healthy plant or do I have a problem with these downward curving leaves? Anyone have an answer?

yeh they need some nitrogen . Give them some veg nutes and they will bounce back .
The clawing maybe from overwatering/underwatering , Whats your temps , watering schdules

I have been using Jacks Classic Blossom Booster (10-30-20). 1/4 teaspoon (as per instructions) with every watering (gallon and a half, every other day). I also add a couple cap fulls of fish emulsions with this solution. Water is distilled. Enough, too much, too little? Thanks so much for responses people. Do MJ plants need more than I am feeding? Scared to burn as I already have during veg. Some one please give a ideal feeding schedule and how much. As I always seem to screw this part up. Still an ameture I guess. Temps stay about 75-80.

"plants curling and clawed downward"

"overwatering"

This is part one of almost every "what's wrong with my plant" faq's

Moisture stress is common. But there are other things it could be. But nitrogen is not a good idea. I would let it dry out for a couple days. And skip a feeding. just my opinion. good luck

Corse its lacking in Nirtogen , Leafs still look healthy , starting from stem and working its way to the outside of leafs ,

Personally I would say you are overwatering, which in turn means it is being overfed. Please ignore the comments about Nitrogen from the noobs. If you post your growing medium and pot size then I can advise on a feeding schedule. Woo

One plant is in a 18 quart pot. The two others are sharing a 18 quart pot. Growing medium is MG soil with over/under watering protection. Thanks all for your responses.

How can it be overdose , they would be burnt , you need to put some nitrogen into them .
NITROGEN (N) Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.
You also have overwatered your plants

Overdose of water shows signs of clawing first, followed by tip and margin burn if nutes are in the water. Please give the nitrogen thing a break. The plants are NOT yellow, it is the lights, as he stated in post 1!!! Do some research into 'rootball deoxygenation'...I have 20 years growing behind me, and you???

If you are growing in soil then use the old method of poking your finger in the pot up to your knuckle, if it feels totally dry give it some water. I am pretty anti Miracle grow as they contain slow release chemicals which arent always relevant in quantity or timing to your plants growth stage, so to give you a feeding schedule would be very difficult, sorry.
