wilted new growth

rickross87 · Mar 4, 2018

Hey everyone, I’ve run into an issue I can’t really find a work around for just yet and it’s driving me crazy.

All my new growth at least the leaves seems to be growing inwilted looking but this isn’t a matter of over or under watering as it has been consistently going on for well over a week now.

If anyone had any idea what I’m dealing with that would be great.

The reason it’s so sparse at the top of my plant is because I have bent the large leaves under the new branches growing in to expose them to the light

Strain is blue kush
3x3 grow space
600w led (260w real output)
Temp during day low 70s at night high 60s ( currently rising up a themometer for better heat regulation as I find it’s a tad chilly)
Soil, with 25% nuts

overwatering (the large downward curl to the leaves)
too much N (the leaf tips "clawing")
take a couple of pics in normal light, it's way easier to see whats going on than under the blurple..
there could be more issues, but it's hard to say from that pic

I have been dealing with I believe a calcium or magnesium issue but think I’m finally starting to over come that hurtle.
I upped my N and thinking that might be my issue as the leaves were like that before watering.
I’ll update picture as soon as I’m back home.
Thanks for replying so quick

I Hope these pictures help out. I fimmed 5 days ago, the plant seems to be recovering well. You can see the new growth in the first pic where I fimmed

Def a mag issue ... Epsom salt will fix that. The lower leaves are super green so probably too much nitrogen.
Looks like over watering as well.

I’ve been thinking it was a mag or cal issue. I did give it a dose of nutrients trying to solve the mag/cal issue. It has got much better as it used to have brown spots of them,I do think I put to much nitrogen in with the mix.
I want to hope I overwatered but truthfully the lower leaves looked just a curled and wiltedbefore I watered and it had been a week since I had last watered.I can probably find a picturing showing this, as a new grower I have far to many. I’ll cut back on the amount I water next time and see if I get more positive results.
Upon examination of older pics the lower grow wasn’t as green so I do believe I substituted to much nitrogen in my last nutrient solution if it does cause it to get really green like that

I see...Then it's probably just an over fert problem.

I think I’m going to give it a flush the next time I water and then watch, wait and see the reaction it has on my plant.

Thanks for info

Don’t flush just water as normal for a few watering, flushing will just screw you up.

Flushing means to give it extra water to flush the nutes out
