New grow, slight irregularites

breedstick · Dec 2, 2012

Started a grow of 4 plants 21 days ago.
Transplanted a week ago due to outgrowth of the solo cup I was using. Growth has been good overall. One plant is exhibiting symptoms of overwater/underwatering. Meaning some fan leaves have started to curl inward (not up but down), yet the leaves aren't weak (flimsy). No spots, no discoloration. New top leaves are also showing a droopy look.
Light cycle: 18/6
Temps: Lights on: 77-81 F. Off: 70-75 F. Humidity: Lights on: 40-45 Lights off: 40-50.
Light: HPS 250 Watt approx. 12'' away from tops. I have a MH conversion bulb on the way to continue vegging.
PH: I feed it tap which is at a 7 on the scale. I haven't tested the runoff but will do so tonight when I water. Haven't water in 3 days.
Air: I have a fan that sits on top of a cold bucket of water that circulates air and gives wind to the plants.
I have no pics yet, but will work on getting some up.
Any suggestions?

i suggest starting your feedings at around 6.2 if your growing in soil, your plant is most likely showing signs of to much nitrogen and its causing the downward curling, actual leaves drooping and not curling is a sign of over/under watering.

once you get pics ill be able to give you a better analysis.

Note claw like leaves. I've lowered the pH to a run off of 6.8. There's been some improvement on newer leaves. Please leave suggestions or comments.

Thanks. Could you clue me in on as to why certain leaves are resembling a claw?

If you still have curling leaves try a sprayer. I use a bottle sprayer on new seedlings and newly rooted
clones whenever I see leaves curl.

Good luck, BigSteve.

I've had exactly the same thing with three different hybrid strains with blueberry in their genetic make-up. All of those turned out ok. Had the same thing happen with some vanilla kush, and they were very sad girls and didn't even start flowering. One thing I will say, is that your plants look great, really lush. I reckon they will turn out ok even if you don't manage to precisely identify the exact cause of the problem. I did hear someone suggest too much nitrogen as a possible cause, no idea how accurate that is though.
