Would anyone have an idea on why my leaves tips are pointing downwards as the plant itself seems to be healthy and growing at least an inch a day. The plant is 27 days old from seed. I will list all pertinent info as to conditions:
- Temp and R/H is attached in pictures
- Soil: an organic potting soil with about 30% perilite added and a little bit of MG as this was the soil that was used before transplant
- PH: water going in 6.5, run-off is 6.0
- I have only nuted once (due to having the MG soil) before last watering with about 1/4 teaspoon to a gallon with a ph of 6.8
- I water usually once every 4/5 days with RO or until top 2 inches are dry
- it is in a 3 gallon pot, it was transplanted 12 days ago
- Lighting: 18/6, (2) 55W PL-L T5's 6500k 10,000 lumens with good circulation
will be adding (4) 42W 2700K CFL's as I will be switching to 12/12 on wed

I hope that covers everything, thanks for your help in this matter

Ro doesn't have any calcium or mag. I had that problem. It got fixed after I bought some calmag+ to add with my ro

While I'm also an advocate of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", I'd like to know if you do add calmag whether that helps it. My plants have the same thing and are doing well despite it.

Cal-Mag(Technofluora Magical 1/2 tsp per gal) is in my nutrient regimen part of the veg dosing.Still get some Bent tips .I snip the tips if they get too shitty looking.

hows ur ventilation? stagnant air can make leaves point down i have learned... plants sit and bathe in their waste.

Sorry for the late reply, I have a lot of ventilation, I will also try a little cal-mag+ on my next watering. I'm also a firm believer that is where most people have problems si trying to do to much. I would agree that there could use some mag and cal due to the r/o system. I will let everyone know how they look after the cal-mag

Thanks
