Curl down can happen with a few things like overwatering or let in the soil get to dry. Also N toxicity bit they look good tho, great job 👏 👍

Nitrogen? Light intensity ? Nutrient Lockout ? Magnesium Deficiency?
Here are some better pictures of the signs I'm getting. 2/3 of the Orange Sherbets are showing this. The pictures are of the most affected plant. It seems to affect mostly smaller leave and leaves right by the bud sites and new growth. The other plant and strains are doing fine👌

Leaves started hanging down all of a sudden
Leaves started drooping/curling down quite a bit all of a sudden any idea why? Haven't watered since the curling down started as I guessed over watered but it does not seem to make a difference. Some of the leaves are now pointing straight down hard to get a good picture of those

First time grower. Looking for suggestions.
Should I be worried about the slight yellow on the edges of the leafs? They don't looks very healthy. How often and how much should I water during this stage?

Clawing / Stunted
Nitrogen toxicity? Day 24, heavy soil and plastic pot, thought overwatering because the soil wasn’t drying out. Put lots of extra drainage holes in it and let dry out for 6 days. Giving plain water today. Will she recover or go to flower in this stunted state?

Purple petioles and cupping down
So, after watering with root+ 1.3ml/gal and amino extreme 1.4ml/gal and putting in a light that is double the wattage from the one prior it seems they got light/heat stressed. The purple petiole color could be phenotypic as it's striated in the stem too but I'm not 100%. Help?!

Is this normal?
Hey guys and gals, it's my first time growing so I just want to make sure this is a normal looking Seedling. It sprouted about 2 days ago and is smaller than the rest of my seedlings. Maybe genetics? What's your opinion?

Super Urgent, first time grower, batch might go to heaven - plants look beaten up, I suspect light stress or overwatering
5 plants, 4’x4’x6.5′ grow tent, 600 watt HPS lamp (it is hanging 70 cm above the highest canopy plant), did topping on 2 of them, swithing to fowering very soon, average humidity is 30%-50% (can't afford a humidifier now, so I use natural methods) for now), 2 static fans

Nitrogen deficiency?
It’s closer to end of flower so I’m not too worried, but is the clawing on the lower right side due to a nitrogen deficiency(best guess due to yellowing)?

Lockout or deficiency?
I have an issue with a girl. Newbie alert. I feel it’s either calcium def or nut lockout. I fed with 1/2 rec BAC grow feed and it didn’t get better, so 2 days after I gave a flush of fresh water. Now it’s really trying to grow, it’s kicking out new leaves but it’s stunted

Hello guys, This is my first grow and I need help. Leaves started curling downwards. I'm not sure whether it was overwatering, underwatering, or needed repotting to a bigger pot. I repotted it today to a bigger pot and crossed my fingers. If you know what's up please help! Thanks
