Pics would help as alot of things can cause this but a couple that come to mind is first off moisture stress, the other that coes to mind is a Phosphorus deficiency... but tough to say without seeing...

Leaf curl can be a symptom of overfertalization. Do you have a ppm or ec meter to test with? Your ph is a little high also, I think. I shoot for 6.0 and the plants like seem to like it. Good luck with your problem. Peace

Just a thought?, how close are your bulbs? I have seen plants look like that at the start of heat stress... putting a fan blowing between the bulbs and plant would help if it is.

Hope you get your problem figured out.

happy growing

Well I'm using 8 26watt 1750 lumen per bulb. They are aprox 3inches from foilage. Very very little heat comes from them. I have two fans blowing, one in and one out. If I step in there it's actually cool. It is a closet grow so the temps are a little not more ambient.

10/54/10? what?
What substrate?
What environment?
We also need an IMAGE without HPS.

Yes make a new post.
(1) Give images under metal halide or incandescent (no hps).
(2) Give complete synopsis in one post telling us all the details.
(a) substrate
(b) nutrients
(c) additives
(d) age
(e) strain
(f) environment
(g) miscellaneous

Now you will have a chance of getting meaningful support because most people here would like to actually tell you. Unfortunately without this info all we are doing is guessing. If you decide to use the wrong guess you may end up potless.

You don't need anymore ideas. They're overfed. Overfeeding doesn't get more obvious.

I agree it sounds like too much food, hard to tell without a pic. Get a picture of that girl up here asap, some of the guys here are really great. You just have to sift through some of the conceited members who treat some people like they are gods gift to growing. I mean, sometimes there are some dumb questions on here, I get that. But if these jackasses don't have anything constructive to say, just don't fucking say anything. We all have to start somewhere, and this is a great place to start......for the most part. Sorry for my rant on your thread buddy, just want to see more help than insults!!! (This is not geared toward any reply on this thread, just my opinion of RIU in general.)

My vanilla kush did this really bad to me once and i had no idea what to do so it just finished that way. I simply couldn't afford to use much fert the next go around and she did way better...although not great still, i have a hard time with the VK even when all my others treated the same are doing great. I'm giving her one more shot, might even start a journal, but if ANYONE has grown Vanilla Kush with great success drop me a line here or pm me. I've not had anymore craziness likke the clawing since i decided to be on the "safe" side of dosages. save money too.
