Downward leaf curl AKA the Claw indicates there is a problem within the root zone, usually it's from overwatering or soil toxicity. If your growing in soil do not give nutes with every watering you only do that with Coco, and are you checking your ph & ppm, also when you water do you give enough until you get aprox 20% runoff this will prevent a lot of issues from happening especially with build up, the best way to tell when to water is by weight try to get a feel of the pot when dry compared to wet. And if your growing in Coco then you need to add some CaMg because Coco holds onto it and only releases it at maximum holding capacity, only give half the amount of nutes required never the full amount unless you know that strain can handle it. Key points - give only half the amount of nutes required. - don't give nutes everytime you water with soil check runoff ppm first. - for coco give nutes with every watering plus add some CaMg. - water less frequent but give enough until you get runoff, aprox 20%. - keep ph between 6.0 - 6.5 & ppm around 400 - 600

Hello there Stakeygrows420, What you see there is a calcium deficiency and a Nitrogen overdose. If your plant doesn't get enough calcium it will take it from the bottom leaves and move it up to the plant to be able to continue photosyntesis. That's why you see those spots there. When calcium is missing in one area so is the photosyntesis and that's why there is no green color left there. This problem is caused from using wrong nutrient concentrations, not wrong pH value. Good luck with your project, I wish you all the best! 👽

With the yellowing leaves at bottom and clear clawing at top, I'd lean towards a PH issue. But I know nothing. From your diary, it seems like you're only giving it light feedings, so that's why I am thinking it's gotta be a PH issue. Unless your soil is super hot. It seems like your issues started once you started feeding - at least from your diary. If I were you, I'd make sure feeding and medium PH is on point. Then I'd stop feeding them (if in a hot soil) and reevaluate in a week.
