Hey guys, I was having heat problems and I think it has caused my leaves to curl but just wanted to be absolutely certain. Can anyone tell me what's the issue here?

Could be heat stress but aslong as they are nice and green and healthy looking such as yours... Id let them do there thing just keep a good eye on them and perhaps add an oscillating fan at there level.

Good luck with them girls! :leaf

Hey Scroglodyte. Thanks, Yeah I ph'd my rockwool. I don't think I've been over watering them as I wait until the wool is getting quite dry.

Martybutch - Thank you, Hopefully it was just heat stress. The heat in my tent increased drastically when I turn on the hps and I am having to keep my doors open until I get a air-cooled hood. I currently have the HPS about 2 ft above them as I read that this was best for the plants until they have grown to around their 3rd node. Now that I have controlled the temperature. Do you think this should be disaster adverted?

Hi rebel, Yeah for a while my temps spike over 85 but I have brought this down significantly. I have only been watering the bottom 70% of the rockwool to encourage my roots to grow downwards to I can get them in my hydro system because they need to be root bound prior to transfer. This seems to be working as I am getting a very healthy amount of roots sticking through at the bottom as of last night. I spray the leaves regularly to simulate rain but is this enough?
