i just would go with plain white stuff, you can use carton, paper, or a white foil. I wont go with alufoil or something like that. Because the alufoil reflects the light in weired ways, that brings no good light. The best reflector is plain white. That light is a directly reflected good light for your plants

Leaves had turned up (taco)Will the taco leaves go back to normal? I've made the adjustment to light moving it higher and switch the veg light off for a couple of hours and use only bloom. Yes I had a nute issue she doesn't seem to need nitrogen the soil must be plenty.

Leaf problem My leaves are looking strange? Can this be because the leaf hasn't fully unravelled/grown fully yet, or could thus be heat/nutrition. Added 2x pictures to see clearer 😁

Troubled seedlings Is this nutrient burn? Had what looked like a lack of nitrogen early on, lowest leaves were healthy then quickly went yellow and worked up. Now have fed nutes at 0.7EC (tap water left for 24hrs to 0.28EC) so fed under 0.5. Bio-grow 0.5ml/l bio-heaven 1ml calmag 0.25. Thanks

Orange leaves getting worse What the fuck is going on with this plant? I spotted some nute burn last week so I got advice off here and flushed it out. Once it needed watered again I went with half the recommended nute dosage and now it looks like it’s getting worse. What the hell can I do?

Classic N toxicity (:Heyho :) since she has progressing leaf tip burn and curled tips which I'd almost certainly say is a nitrogen toxicity, would you recommend going down to 50% general strength or maybe leave out the grow supplement at all and just feed Bloom? Cheers guys :)

Brown tips, curling leaves Some smaller leaves and top leaves have brown tips. Some are curling up. Is it too much fertilizer?

Upward Curling Brown Leaves/Nutrient Lock Out?I've got a serious issue. Started 3-4 days ago, right after adding nutrients and increasing light. Leaves are curling upward and browning. Not crumbling yet but look like they will be soon. Both new and old growth is being effected. Maybe the Mineralized Phosphate was too much.

Leave issue What is this? Nutrient burn, deficiency, fungus? I tried to look up the answer but it might be different things on different plants. Please help me diagnosis this. The white powder is DE and the small holes are from flea Beatles. But I’m more concerned about the browning.

Leaves turning yellow/pointing up, stem turning purple Having a problem with one of them.. all the leaves have gone very yellow and are pointing upwards. The stem is also very purple now. Any ideas what this could be? Other than a feeding of bud candy and watering here and there it hasn’t gotten any other feeding. Thanks!

Pointy Leaves and is it the light.I read that the leaves begin to be thinner meaning blades as plant grows. The leaves are thinner and pointed otherwise plant growing has slowed but still reaching. Could my light be causing this because I am using both modes full spectrum?😳

My leaves head upwards, is it a bad sign? [Autoflowering]First time I get this far, I sometimes noticed after I water the leaves start to head upwards, or even without reason during the day.... then go down again. What is the reason for this you think? Is my light too far? or not enough something? I only watered twice in 10 days.
