Curling Leaves on Northern Lights
JustSmokeItBstarted grow question 4 years ago
Why are my Northern Light leaves starting to curl downward? Other 2 plants not showing signs of this... Only feeding every other watering and at 1/2 recommended dosage. From reading other articles likely nitrogen toxicity? Or wind burn from small fan on it? Ideas?

I would check runoff ph, you are feeding at 6.3....soil should be 6.5-6.8. Happy growing.
Stonerdanswered grow question 4 years ago
Might be signs of "overwatering" which is pretty much because of no proper drainage, try irrigating around quarter of the size of the pot which for you is 0.5 gallon or 1.9-2 liters of solution and make sure that at least third (1/3) of the irrigation amount comes out as runoff and let the top 5cm of the grow medium to dry before watering again *and try not to dry the medium completely*.
Also keep a close eye on the tips of leaves at the bottom of your plants since the foliage is very dark indicating early Nitrogen (N) toxicity, if the tips start to "burn" and develop chlorosis reduce the fertilizing with nitrogen to about half and slowly increase it as the plant heals and matures.
Overall plants look great!! Good job!
Happy growing :)

Too many nutes? but a couple days with water only and it's still getting worse. The other plant seems fine. The buds seem OK. Maybe heat? Soil is 69F. Overwater?

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?

What do you think is wrong with my plant. It's starting to grow nicely but was really slow at first. Tips curling down. One leaf crispy.What do you think is wrong with my plant? In promix moisture soil. Fed nutes twice. 2mL of micro, grow, and bloom. Last feeding I added 5mL of calmag. Soil is 100% inert at least from my research. Watering once soil is dry (every 5-7 days) One leaf is crispy. Tips curling down.

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?
