She’s fine, let her dry out a bit! Also add some Magnesium sulphate to straighten her out! Cal mag her up! Mainly Magnesium though!

Theirs plenty of nitrogen though, see how the leaves are slightly turning? This is a sign of too much Nitrates/nitrogen!

Day 20 Flower. Leaves curling
Leaves curled over 12 hour light cycle. Ph 6.0. Ppm 950. I have been battling ph drop for a week. Lowered Ppm to 900 from 1100. Seems to have stabilized the ph and now the leaves are doing this. I’m looking to do the day 21 strip of most leaves tomorrow. Should I be concerned?

Upward curling leaves
Yesterday applied heating mat bcs temp was dropping to 14C nights. Now it stays 30C allday with RH 30%. I have found my seedlings looking like this morning. Leaves look dry. Could this be the excessive heat shock? Or soil dried up quick? What should I do? Water? Raise RH? How?

My plants are suffering a Phosphorus deficiancy due to lockout due to low ph of soil. My first flush only helped for a while. As soon as the medium gets too dry damage resumes. what should I do? I went to check on them today and the amount of damage they took in 24 hours was bad.

Phosphorus def in veg?
Phosphorus deficiency in wk 4 of veg? I noticed a few small discolored blotches on lower leaves 2 days ago and today it is a lot worse! Use flora trio, and 2 other plants in this run are under same conditions with same nutes. Could this be a pH issue? PH has been consistently ~6.

Fan leaf deficiencies during flower. To cut or not to cut?
Day 85 Update: G13 has a ton of fan leaves turning fast. Pretty sure it's a PH issue. Should I wait until they're dead to trim them off or get rid of every fan leaf that is affected more than 50 percent of the leaf?
