leaf tips pointing down
Over the past 5 days I've noticed my leaves are starting to point down.. but otherwise are looking healthy. Its not nitrogen burn or wind burn. My RH is around 60 and temp is around 26.5 daytime and 21 at night. Also she isn't root bound. Any suggestions?

That is something called "the claw", is a symptom of too much nitrogen (grow nutes); see also how dark green colored are the leaves? They are supposed to look light green, not dark. 1.3 EC is a too high for this stage, 0,8 EC (400 PPM) is much healthier for now, 1.2 EC to 1.5 EC (600 to 750 PPM) are level of feeding for plants in the flowering stretch. Stop feeding for now, let it consume whats already on the soil.

The fungus you had growing on top of your soil + what you describe = overwatering, yup, ya did it mate, gotta increase the intervals between waterings, i let mine get a full day of completely dry soil before i water again. If i don't tips will start going down too over the course of the week.
Hope it really helps, if it does feel free to support back by picking the grow answer, it helps deeply in grower of the month contest.
Thanks and gl growmie.

So it looked like too much N to me. Dark green and the clawing leaves are a dead giveaway. If Bio-Grow is the only fertilizer you're using, then its likely that you have N toxicity, especially if you're measuring ppms at a normal level (700-800). Measure your runoff pH as well, you may just have salt buildup in your medium.

Am I overthinking things?Any idea what’s going on with these ladies? Or am I just over thinking. They just seem a little unhappy. Watered 750mil yesterday morning the last time before that was 500mil Saturday night. Could they be a little overwatered?

Too much nitrogen and underwatering?Hey guys, can anyone tell me what they want (or have too much off?)
I think the big one has a bit too much nitrogen is my guess?
I also transplanted them today and yesterday so they had a bit less water as usual the past days. Could that be it as well?

Leaves have developed "claws" at the tips that bend downwardsMy leaves have developed "claws" at the tips that bend downwards.
I suspect there is too much nitrogen because I probably used too much root juice. (Approx 8ml, scale was inaccurate)
Now my question to the professionals: what can I do to fix the problem?
