Leaves clawing
BobTheGrowerstarted grow question 5y ago
I suspect that it's caused by nitrogen toxicity, what do you think?

yes,nitrogen toxicity.i am very familiar with this kind of leaves.happens when I abuse some nutrients that have good amounts of N.especially during stretch.some strains,not all.and not all the leaves,only the leaves on the tallest branch. very weird clawing indeed but I found out it was N overload. that leaf won't recover but no problem if you cut off N or reduce a little bit

Thanks Ner0z, I also tought it was overwatering, but the problem didn't go away when i started watering less.

Not nitrogen tox. Looks to be overwatered. Let her dry out

Fertilizer burn or something else?Hey fam. Plant seemed fine a few days ago besides a mag deficiency.
Decided to foliar spray cal mag at half strength a few times.
Now there are brown patches and leaves/stems are curling down like they’ve been overwatered.
Too much cal mag? Burn? Something else?
Thanks!Leaves. Curl down

Nutrient burn?Hello I have one plant with yellowing leaves that are also curling downward. Only one plant of 6 has this problem, I suspect maybe this one is just sensitive to the nutrient rich soil? I am using fox farm happy frog and have added no other fertilizer. What to do, flush all?3y ago

The plants colors look healthy and about 8 flowering sites appearing on NL and 3 on WW. However, the leaves, particularly on the NL look to curl under. I've been having little trouble keeping the pH in the 5.5 - 6.5 range, seems to drop to the mid 4s daily, but fix quickly.Week 4

This week my 4 week plant has been sickly and grew very little. The second leaves began to curl and when I touched them, they felt very brittle. Why? What I am trying is to increase the humidity, and moving the light further away. Little nitrogen has been given.Week 4
