Calcium deficiency is my guess it doesn't look like nitrogen but could possibly be part of the problem.
Have you added ferts?
Anything special in the dirt?

sorry wasnt too descriptive, I ended up buying some calmag the other day and pretty sure its working. Should have posted a close up on the update whoops. They're in happy frog so Ive only fed them a light feeding maybe 3 or so times this month. It started this problem from the first fans and right as they came out which I found odd. Hopefully all is well now, thanks for answering.

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.Leaves. Twisted

Concern about VPD, stretch, twisting leaves ... or is it OK?This Gorilla Zkittles seems to be stretching awfully much. Also, of more concern, the small leaves are twisting, as if too hot/dry. 78F, light is about 14" up, RH% setpoint 56%, leaf temps seems to max out at 76.5F. Should I worry? Or what? Thanks! VPD is 1.2-1.6 depending.a year ago

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.a year ago

I added mycorrhiza to the coco coir from a local store. It turned out that there is slow release fertilizers in it. Was not indicated on the packaging.Please Help!
First time after watering with 5.7pH 400ppm drainage water was 6.7pH and 800ppm. I flushed her to 400ppm.
Yesterday was the second watering (450ppm, 5.7pH) and drain was 700ppm 6.7pH. I flushed her to 460ppm (1.5l of water), but pH still 6.6

curled/twisted leaves - root cause?Several leaves of my Kalini Asia plant are curling/twisted (see pictures). Since I don't see any pest insects at the moment I don't have a glue what it could be. Anyone knows what it is (today I started to spray neem oil on the leaves.)? Thanks in advance for your help!Week 9
