issue noticed during flowering

First time growing...

Plant is going on 3 weeks in flowering. When bringing her out of dark, noticed the edge of the leaves curled down, the tips as well. See picture.

Any tips/comments/solutions?
Thanks

My guess would be to add more light... What ever it is... the plants are in good shape!

Looks healthy to me, maybe too much water. The slight leaf tip sag and the "swollen" appearance looks like it's trying to transpire it's excess water.

First timer paranoia...
Nevertheless, I'll monitor it's progression for the next couple days I guess..
Thanks for the replies...

She's showing her claws. What are you feeding her? Looks like too much nitrogen.

Id say water. It could be a combination of things.. too often watering, poor soil aeration..

Sorry for the delay.. bloom nutrients 3/30/15 npk. After further investigation, 3 doses of that was given within 5 days, go figure...
I'm guessing it now contains too much phosphorus locking out other nutes like zinc.
Nevertheless, I want to give her a nice flush. I have her in a 4 gallon container, I flushed 3 days ago with 1 gallon and has not gotten any better and a bit worse(see picture).
Which brings a question anyone can chime into..
3 days later, will it be ok to flush her with more water? Say, 2 gallons?
Thanks...

Sure looks over fed! That's all I got! Lol...

Upon further reading (second time) It is both over fed and over watered. What medium are you in?

Your plant is showing all the signs of nitrogen toxicity. What's your nutrient exactly? Where did you get that?

1 gallon is not considered flushing for a 4 gallon container. Flush with at least 12 gallons of water to wash out excess salts in your medium.

Looks like a little too much nitrogen ( slight claw ) and Dark Color. Also bloom stages needs less nitrogen in its bloom feeding ( npk ).

Flush 3 times the size of your containers with PHWater. Check your runoff to check what PPM is coming out.

Flush until your runoff is proper PH and EC.

Looks like heat stress to me, whats your room temps like? What kind of light and distance? Do you have anyway of measuring canopy temps? These are all crucial. Do you have intake exhaust fans?

I second and third this.... Flush... then don't water for 4-7 days... this will help get back to your baseline and clear the residual build up in you containers.

Make sure you are getting a good amount of run off everytime you water, especially if you using synthetic nutes. This will make sure you dont build up nute toxicity in your soil/media. And be sure to let it dry almost completely in between watering.

Next time use a faster draining media so you can water more frequently if you desire. (I use 50/50 perlite/soil-less mix most of the time)

Started with MG Seedling soil. Transplanted once using more of the same seeding soil. Used MG instant feed with a 14/8/16 npk during veg and a 3/30/15 instant bloom for flowering but like mentioned before, it was fed 3 times that amount.. .After I see improvement, it'll probably be a funny story to tell..



Thanks everyone the info...
Much appreciated.

100% CFL
TEMP has been about 75 degrees so far (indoor tent with a couple females, 1 autoflower).
This was the only problematic one yet.. here's a picture of my first auto..

Don't flush, it's stressful to the plant and it compacts the soil. There's nothing wrong with that plant -- there's a very slight nitrogen toxicity.......no big deal, just lay off the nutes a bit.

Here's the current picture prior to her night schedule, was planning to flush first light. You don't think I should flush?

Ya, that looks a little more clawed than your first pic but no, I wouldn't pour all that water through your pot.............I would just water with straight water for the next couple waterings and see how things look after that -- those leaves probably wont un-curl either.

Great info, definitely something to keep in mind while flushing...

I guess I will take it day by day and act accordingly if needed..

Thanks to all! ..and I'll post progress updates for any inquiring minds...
