You may have given to much nitrogen for to long into flower causing dark leaves, the curling ones are from heat stress and the bending over ones are from the light.

It looks like my plant is dieing! Plants turning brown after intense watering period
Did I drown my plant? Stress it? I gave a lot of water in a short duration of time, and now 7 days later she is looking terrible! Read my diary on week 17 for more info!

What's causing my brown crispy leaves!?
Over the past week my plants have taken a turn for the worse. Many leaves went from yellowing to browning to completely crispy! Other leaves have brown spots on them and some of the stems are purple.

Is the slight yellowing ad curling of these leaves ok or indicative of something?
Curling and yellowing of leaves in a few instances, both near the top and bottom of the plant, with no noticeable discoloration on the branches in between. I'm feeding it 1/4 strength Grow Big (2Cups) and 1/4 strength CalMag (1Cup) when I water every 3rd day. Ph runoff 6.8.

The leaves have become glossy and yellow
The last couple of days, the leaves have lifted a bit again and bent the edges, and the leaves are glossy, was it a mistake to keep the light on 24h the first week, or what do the last couple of pics look like? (I have now set the mode to 18/6) so as not to fry the plant

leaf spots and curl
I have a few leaves with some spots and a few that have a side that curls. What do you guys think? Right now I'm just using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil and water - I'm planning on adding nutrients this week. Will that solve these issues?

Problema con mi Runtz Muffin
Buenos días, Tengo un problema con mis hojas, (puse fotos para que podáis ver). He visto que podía ser un deficiente de fósforo. Pero también puede ser un problema de calcio y de magnesio. Alguno podría ayudarme con eso ? Que tengo que hacer ? Añadirle un PK 13-14 ?

Why are my leaves canoeing?
Noticed that the leaves on one of my plants is started to badly canoe. This plant has been lagging behind the other the whole grow (different strain and provider). Not sure if this is a nutrient deficiency, exceedance, or something else. I flushed both plants.

Nutrient problem??? Excess or deficiency?
What do you think is the leaf issue? Open to second opinions. Most everything stayed the same, except: > increased water: 2L to 3L per 7 gal of soil > introduced a bloom booster > increased volume of worm castings, molasses, mycrobes and ethylene to the tea

Yellowing between veins on 3 of 4 plants, and curled tips - 27-29C in tent - Just heat/light stress or something more?
Only on 3 out of 4 of my girls, see 1 pic of sad girl and 1 pic of happy girl. Does it look like heat/light stress to you or something more? I was running my LED 45 cm below the lights dimmed to provide 20-30k lux at plant level. Just now raised to 65cm, lux 20k.

Slight lightburn?
First pair leaves on left plant turn slightly lighter, first sign of yellowing a bit. Also I think they are a bit in a V/praying shape. 2 full weeks old under 75% of 200W leds about +-45cm. Should I dim them a bit more/hang higher? Other suggestions maybe?

Guys been going great until I checked today. My top leaves turning grey white and crunchy on 2 plants. 3rd plant ok. What do you think too much Kool Bloom? To much heat from the light?? I don’t think it’s the latter I decided to flush for 2 days to clean it out??

Curly leaf edges
I'm getting some serrated, curled up leaf edges. This doesn't really bother me cause it happens very often, just curious as to what the cause could be. Maybe the LEDs are too close? It's 160w of white COBS at around 40 cm distance

Leave curl weird shape
Yeah this plant curled the first 3 set of leaf but others plants in the same condition don't do that. I wondered if it somekind of genetic issue or it's just normal ?
