Hi Mark, yep, classic overwatering , you can tell by the puffy space between the veins of the leafs. The downward pointing leaf tips is a sign you might have water mold. At this stage in the plant's lifecycle, you can probably get away with it as long as you follow a very strict wet dry cycle. Try squeezing the medium a bit to "unlock" pockets of humidity that might take too long. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Advise to flush or feed in Veg Does this is look like a nute burn, deficiency, or ph problem? The two plants that are growing a tad taller have had yellowing tips some curling downward. Don’t want to overreact and cause it to worsen, they’re looking healthy otherwise. Any advise whether to flush or feed?

Leaves suddenly droopy and curled at the tips, although look a healthy green. Doing DWC. Help please!They look overwatered, but this is DWC and I'm not top-feeding. Not sure what is going on as the leaves, themselves, look a healthy color. Pics from 3/25 show this, and I have detailed info in my diary. I have tried dropping humidity down (was keeping up for VPD). Thanks

dark, curled downwards and brown fan leaves Why are the fan leaves dark, curled downwards and showing brown marks originating from the edges?

What's causing my brown crispy leaves!?Over the past week my plants have taken a turn for the worse. Many leaves went from yellowing to browning to completely crispy! Other leaves have brown spots on them and some of the stems are purple.

Starts to look a bit droopy after changing CFL to LED (Recovery ideas?)When i used 72W CFL, it grew very well but it started to be a bit droopy after i changed to my 1200W LED. Light stress? Photoinhibition? Need some inputs on this. Nonetheless, i have changed the lights back to the CFL. How can i recover from this?

Grayish brownish fuzz on sugar leaves Turned my northern lights plant around today and noticed this on the back of it. Yikes! Is it bud rot, pest damage, something else? If it's bud rot I need to get rid of it ASAP because I have 6 other plants in the same grow room.

My 1-2 day old seedling sprouts are a little droopy. Would this be a symptom of overwatering? I have been keeping the surface of the soil moist with a spray bottle but should I be letting it dry out now?
