Hello all! The leaves on one of my girls has leaves that are pointing straight down. I've been using nutes every other watering, and only about a third to just under half of the recommended amount.

I think tips pointing down is overwatering. Let her dry out before watering and see if she improves. Good luck and happy growing.

Maybe cut down on the watering and let the soil dry out and stop giving nuts for a week or so and see how they respond

Curling related to pot size?
My little curly baby has gotten worse could she need repotting ?? A second plant also in a smaller pot has started to curl a little. Ik it could be genetic what do y'all think?

First timer seedling worries.
First time grower, is this normal for a seedling? I'm currently on day 3 and noticed these guys have some dark curling leaves. Is this caused by over/underwatering? A light issue? Or am I just over worried? Soils feels moist. They are in Tupur, lightly buffered, in 1gal growbags.

First attempt, hard learning curve I fear..
First ever attempt, I’ve over watered a couple days ago and they’re looking very sorry for themselves. About a week from sprouting. Think a couple are a bit leggy and the oldest leaves seem to be curling down/twist res of the over watering? There is new growth but recovery pos?

Last compost tea was probably a bit too strong, causing clawing and droopiness these last few days. The following feeding was RO water only. I'm wondering whether there is some kind of nutrient lockout or N tox/def going on at the moment. Growth upward hasn't slowed down though.

Burn? Deficiency? Hydroponic fgrow
problems in DWC. I am using TA nutrients (Lucas formula). Running EC 1.8 and pH 5.8. One of my plants look good but the other plant shows lots of problems. RH is 55%, Temp 25-26C. PPFS is 450μmol/m²/s on average. Any idea how to fix it? Dilute the nutrients? Ideas welcome

Deficiency or toxicity?
Hello i'm not sure what's going on, is this toxicity or deficiency? She loojs happy overall but new leaves have weird color, curled down tips, some of em are yellow and some are brow - burned.. maybe it's because she's transforming into bloom phase, PH 6.2 but runoff is PH 7.1.

Overwatered?
I just watered my plant and after hour or so the leaves are pretty droopy (only the ones near the top). I never noticed it happen before, so I'm a bit concerned abt this. I water abt 1L/3days.

Day 67: after watering, I am noticing the leaves curling under, but fine next morning - or at least less clawing. Does this look like over watering? Watering every other day 1/gal per 7gal fabric pot with 2/3 soil, 1/3 perlite well mixed. If not, what might cause the claws?

Curling down since germination
Does anyone know why these leaves are growing in this shape? Right from germination too. They are growing very fast, but still maintain this downward growth. Lights? 🤷♂️
