what is the cause of this leaf wilting?

LSDManstarted grow question 5y ago

I have one super early lemon like this. All seedlings start outdoor under the natural sunlight, and since 3 days, i put all the seedlings indoor under a 200W CFL bulb. I had placed it at 5 cm from the plants, but when I saw the state of the leaves of the plant I took up the lamp.

Hi mate, I think you have stressed her with too much light. You have done the right thing and raised the light. Just keep an eye on her and she will be fine. Good luck and happy growing

Dropped leaves after transplant from soil party cup 4 days ago to coco and feeded 380ppm. Plants with good root structure created already. I need some ideas to understand the reason why the plant behaves this way. Is it just stress and it needs time?

Autos reacting to All-Mix: Slight nitrogen overload?Pheno one showed very "leathery", weak, hanging leaves of dark green. Same time the fungus gnats had a run and the population doubled. After second LST also the stronger plant showed those signs on the younger upper leaves. Also curled down a little. Slight nitrogen toxicity?

The leaves are still curling downwards and inwards. This usually happens once the leaves become older. Although I've searched for the cause of the problem, I still don't understand what's wrong.

Week 1 new clones' top leaves are not solid green. See some minor claw.Already after about 4 days out of the moisture dome, the new top leaves' color doesn't look solid green throughout, and doesn't seem to spread out nicely. I've added some nutrients from Fox Farms with some molasses and mycorrhiza, but no improvement. Anything to worry? 😕
