"The Claw" due to overwatering.

I've over watered my ak48 a bit and was wondering if the clawing of the leaves would go away in a few days.

430 HPS
temps are in the mid 80's
RH is 30/40%
plant is three weeks old and I've just switched to the hps from a mh for flowering and a 12/12 cycle.

growing in a garden soil and perlite mix

Nope , once its clawed the damage is done .. The new growth will appear healthy and normal if the watering is adjusted ..

aww man...well at least I didn't kill it. Hopefully there will be enough new growth to cover it up and clawed leaves will eventually die. I love healthy looking plants.

Get used to ugly ducklings. It is a harvestable crop that goes through countless changes. Aesthetics are fun and all, but don't spend much energy worrying about 'looks'.. so you have some claw.. everything goes well in a few weeks those old leaves wil be the LAST thing on your mind..

Whatever that is worth.. it aint a houseplant or the cover of High Times.. once you get past the 'it isn't perfect' stage, you can do great things.

Alarm? Kinda strong for just a name no?

You should just be fortunate he's one Taliban who prefers to grow an AK48 than wield an AK47.

Put it back to veg !

Don't start flowering until you can replace the damaged leaf ( new growth )

I never start flowering unless they look " right ".

It's not going to just die though...unless you keep over watering.

You sure thats right never heard of it. Get the temps down before flowering.
