Game Time - Name That Problem!!! lol

Ok heres the skinny, I have perfect conditions going on, well obviously not cuz there's something going on I've never seen before. But on paper, it's golden. The leaves are curling downwards and in towards itself. I thought it would fix itself if I just kept up with the watering and making sure I kept temps down but ya, no such luck.

Here's what I'm dealing with:

Strain: Brains Damage
Medium: Fox Farms Ocean Forest - 3 Gal Bucket
Water/Feeding Usually every other day, sometimes 3 days, depends on what it needs.
Ph: 6.7-6.8
Nutes: Fox farms - Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom
Temps are usually a steady 73degrees, however I'm in week 5 of flowering and haven't been able to open the door to cool it off in there about 3 times thru the grow so far and the temps got up to 90ish.
Plenty of air flow
Light: 1000w HPS


I think that's it, can't think of anything else that I would need in there for you guys to help me figure this out. Heres the pics:

humidity is too high or you have overwatered

That's some of the best curling I've ever seen
It's curled in so good I can't see if the tips are burnt?
Have you recently fed? With a high dose of ppm's?
It looks like it in some type of shock this usually occurs
from a big fluctuation of one of two thing your ph or ppm's!
The problem in soil is to low ph or hydro is it to high~
Or a real high dose of ppms is good to put'em shock too

I like games, overferted!

Well thanks for the replies, I was thinking over fed. If that's the case, should I flush and keep and eye on her?

Whoa Whoa Whoaaaaaa, thought this was a game!lol! How do i know i was playing a guessing game dude!lol!

Need more grow facts, could it be that it was looking deficient and then you gave it a large dose of ferts? What problems has it had previously? It dose look very green and yellow, reminds me of some gummy sweets and i want to eat it!lol! That leaf cupping is severe in places, plant didnt like somthing recently, what have you done?

Of course if YOU are asking me what to do in an overfert problem then the obvious answer is either flush and reapply the correct dosage of nutes or just give plain water next two feeds and hope its not too severe that it burns the plant. I would rather use a flush and not guess as to the exact tolerance of my plants fertilizer uptake/toxicity. Good luck

Ya, It hasn't shown any signs of anything. I've steadily increased the ferts every week, the other plants love it, this one is just being a butt hole lol. I will flush after its dried out some, just watered yesterday. We'll see what's up. I'll keep ya posted.

My guess and i say guess, started out as a fun game man!, is that it could be as you say overferted, flush and reapply lower level, if solves problem think that other plants are gona topp out soon after this and show overferted problems.

Evil game dude! Evil!

lol it got alot of hits, the title is how you draw people in to get more than one answer to an issue lol.

So you think its overferts without our input?

I was thinking that already yes. Either that or Heat stress, but since everyone has pointed to Overfeeding, that's where I'm going to start.

What are temps, as overfeeding increase so dose the effects of heat, they are both a bad mix unfortunatly and even worse with underwatering. Temps and ferts = BAD!lol!

Temps are fine usually, round 73ish degrees. But there were 3 times I did not open my box in time (like the original post of this thread has said) and temps got to over 90 degrees.

Then you would have to factor in the damage you noticed from the high temps, high temps can cook the leaf cells to an extent. Some can grow happily at 90 but id say thats an upper limit, 73 is a touch low too.

Look for the new growth and hopefully uncurling of leaves.
