That is called "the claw" its a symptom of over feeding; see the dark green foliage? That's another symptom of over feeding, nitrogen excess in this case. Stop all feeding and give it water only until the leaves turn a more healthy color. There's no need to spray water on the leaves, the roots are perfectly capable of delivering water to all parts of the plant.

Nutrient burn/deficiencies/feeding Having difficulties with a few of my plants, I didn’t add any nutrients until they were close to 30 days old. And then only cal-mag at what I thought were low doses. One of mine has lost almost all leaves. What would you guys recommend moving forward? I have almost all fox farms

Leaves drooping Leaves drooping mostly 1 time a day or in 2 days. Overwatering is probably not the cause as i had times where i only watered it 1 time in a week. Could this be of fluctuating grow room temperatures? Temperature during the day could range between 22 and 27 celcius. Humidity ok

Yellowing dry leaves, late flower.About 2 weeks from harvest time, the yellowing leaves which I put down to an early fade have become dry, brittle, curly and splotchy. Should I worry this late? Is it potassium defeciency, lockout? Should I begin flush? Add molasses?
