Nitrogen. Because it is a mobile nutrient, plants can borrow their own nitrogen stores out of their older leaves to make up for the deficiency, which is why the older leaves curl up more and are more yellow.

Strange Growth Does anyone have any tips or explanations on Kate and Randall's weird growth patterns throughout the grow so far? Kate has always had short fat stubby leaves. Randall has not grown a new fan leaf in what feels like a month. I think it was root bound before I repotted.

leaves dry and curling up Gelato canopy leaves continue to dry and canoeing up. I've backed off the lights, changed the air circulation, and gave only water in the last week, but the situation is just getting worse. Canopy buds are not growing and trichomes production is much higher in the lower branches

Persistent issues - wilted leaves, light-green splotches, brown roots My plant has these issues. I've rinsed off the roots in case it was nutrient buildup on roots, which I still believe to be the case. I have given this plant a good amount of nutrients the week before. Does this appear to be a deficiency? Any ideas? Thanks all for responding

Leaves always droopy?Is it normal for some strains to have droopy leaves? It seems like no matter the time of day or water schedule my leaves never quite perk up like they did on my last grow. The fan leaves on this particular plant are massive so maybe their weight won’t allow them to perk up??
