There's something wrong with my plants. I don't think I'm over watering and I'm not over fertilizing, could be heat or light but I'm not sure...I'm 8 weeks into flowering. Just trying to figure out how to bounce these babys back.

They are supposed to die after 8 - 12 weeks of flowering, not bounce back, but it doesn't look like you're going to harvest very much.

Would you please describe your setup so we all know what to expect if we follow in your footsteps? I'm just ball busting, but it is normal for MJ to flower and die.
 
If you're near the end of flowering, some yellowing and dwilting ive read is perfectly normal..How much longer do you have?
 
No idea how much longer on the grow it's bagseed...its an indica dominant hybrid tho.

What size pot is it in, and for how long? It's most likely beyond root-bound.

It could also be toxic salts have built up in the soil, due to improper fertilization and or watering.

It could also be heat stress, what's the temperature?

Anyhow this grow can't be turned around at 8 weeks.
 
It looks exactly like the rootball is deoxygenated possibly due to overwatering, you say you dont think you are overwatering, how much and how regularly are you watering/feeding?
 
5 Gallon bucket with hydroton, airstone running 24/7, hydrofarm style drip system runs 15 min every 12 hours light is 10-12 inches from tops air temp is roughly 80 degrees water temp sits at about 68-72 degrees.
 
It is more often a sign of overwatering and is known as 'clawing'.:joint:

no, "clawing" is because of over fertilization, "drooping" is over watering. the difference is in over fertilization the tips of the leaves curl downward. When you over water, the whole leaf droops down.

Im sorry but your advice is incorrect, leaf cupping is a sign of over fertilising with leaf margin burn and yellowing. I have grown for nearly 20 years and have purposely overrwatered, over fertilised and all other things (mainly with males)so as to understand before hand what is wrong with my plants. I did these experiments way before internet forums and growfaqs that help people nowadays. Im not wanting an argument I just think you are getting your facts incorrect. Have you personally had overwatered plants? Have you ever self diagnosed by removing all possible causes one at a time starting with the most probable? When you have you will know what I mean. I respect your desire to help this guy but in this case I believe you are wrong. In the pictures you can quite clearly see whole leaves that are a faded yellow and about to fall off. This along with the 'clawing' is indicative of overwatering.bongsmilie
 
The top leaves are relatively dry, I just dont see how it could be over watered. If you think I should kill the pump I will I trust you guys.
When you say 'top leaves' are you talking about the single fingered ones, as, if you are, then in late flowering this is normal.
