Small leave problem?

Hello everybody! I am a new and have a small grow. I just started flowering september 1st. I was lucky with 4 of 4 females with bagseed. I have a 1000 watt mh, and 3 gallon pots. Since I placed them in flowering 2 of them have had some lower leaves that seem to be curling and drying up. Since flowering I have not used any nitrogen (16 days) and thought this might be the problem because I have been using Bloom 0-10-10 so today I gave them some bat guana along with molasses that I also am using. The unhealth leaves are not near any bud areas and only are the lower leaves. Any suggestions? Other then that they seem to be pretty healthy for a noob...right? I Have done plenty of searches and just cant pin point my problem, please dont slam me I am new to this, I would be glad to anwser any questions. They are 3' tall.

Do you mist or spray your plants?

If you keep your hand, palm up, next to the top for 1 minute, does the heat from the bulb seem pleasantly warm, but not uncomfortably hot?

If the answer to these questions is YES, then this is just heat stress, in which case you need to raise the buls a little. If the answers are NO, then you're looking at a catterpillar attack.

PS: otherwise, your plants look amazingly gorgeous and beautiful. I just hope you have room for them. Plants like yours tend to triple or even quadruple their size during flowering.

The tops are about 1.5 feet from light +/- couple inches, wouln't that cause the leaves closer to the light to do this. I have been using no pest strips and havent seen any caterpillars. I really appreciate your suggestions and am I no way disagree with your anwser, I will double check the heat right now. Thanks for such a quick response I like that.

that doesnt look like lack of N
it kinda looks like too much
and yes i saw that u werent using any

That's what most people think, but new growth is always pumped with alot of fresh water, while older leaves tend to be more dry and thus more prone to heat burn.

This is an awesome sight when I get back from the store I need to make a signature, Thanks you guys I will continue to read any suggestions and update their health. rep given to all valuable advise.

Kinda looks like a little Nute burn to me, nice plants. You didn't veg em outside did ya?
Trim the dead spots a soldier on.

How did you know they spent there first eight weeks in the sun? then 2 weeks under grolux bulbs then the 1000 watt mh. They had an assortment during veg. After giving them some different nutes in only an hour the leaves went straight up like I have never seen before is this a good thing?

I have not foliar feed my plants since vegatation. How much room do you think ill need? quadruple in size that sounds scary, are you serious? The guy that gave me the seeds said they were from a plant that was pollinated accidently and the weed was nasty and crunchy. He told me that the name was washington sno-cap. Can anybody tell me if my plant resembles that strain? One of the plants is smaller and the leaves are much bigger as you can see in the first set of pics last pic.

Plants that bushy and nice usually grow outdoors.

Well, if you're already in flowering, you've already noticed the growth spurt. Plants tend to stop growing in the 3-4th week of flowering altogether and really focus on budding.

When should I start smelling it? I had a small skunky smell for awhile at the end of veg and the begining of flower but now I smell nothing. Can you tell if they are sativa or cannibis by the pics, one looks different then the other. I was told that its Washington Sno-cap, but I am not sure if he knows. Did you see how perky those leaves are? is that a good thing or a bad thing? They have grown almost a 1 1/2 feet since I started flower 16 days ago.

sativa tend to have skinny longer leaves
indica tend to have shorter fatter leaves
u said the leaves did that right after u fed with a diff fert.....not too sure what that means but usually plants go up and down like that when they grow....
watch some time lapse marijuana stuff on you tube and u will see what i mean

So I would guess that they are indica..... But 1 has leaves that are less as skinny as the others. Are you able to tell by the pics?
