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 👏 👍

Is this a deficiency?
Hello there, Today I saw that some of my plants have some curled and sad looking leaves (see pic). The soil is pre-fertilized and I currently use normal tap water (p.H. adjusted) for watering. My plants get 18hrs of light a day (approx. 300-400PPFD) Thanks for you help guys :)

Early growth sick plants - photoperiod
Purpling stem, yellowing leaves, droopy leaves - I’m thinking nitrogen deficiency, but I’m not sure if I should add more nutrients or not to my current solution or if I should flush completely. PPM is at 850, and the PH is 6.3. What are your thoughts? Any GH nutrient schedules?

Spotting issue consistent in all my grows. Have always thought Cal deficient but more Cal never fixes the issue. PH always checked with 2 PH pens 6.2-6.8.
Always pops up around the same time in flower.. week 4/5. Brown irregular spots and occasional curling down on the fan leaves. The only things I have consistently used in all the grows is the LED light, RO water, and CALiMAGic. Switched to dry organics but now its back. N toxic?

Leaf edges are curling downward
Yesterday and today noticed quite a few fan leaves turn glossy with edges curled down on the sides. After doing some initial research, my most knowledgeable guess at this point in wind burn. Makes sense since it faced the plants directly. Any other ideas why this is happening?

Curling Leaves?
Anyone know why these leaves are curling? I’m currently low stress training by bending the nodes and stretching them apart with garden wire, is this perhaps why? Second plant is a week behind, no LST for an experiment, all replies welcome, many thanks 🙏🏼

Over watering? Asked a similar question before but want to save this plant
This has gotta be overwatering, right? The soil + pots I'm using don't seem to drain very well. Started drooping like this when I added a humidifier at around 70% relative humidity. Maybe pushed it over the edge? Going to home depot. Perlite? Change out the soil? Better pots?

Small plant suddenly droopy, need help!
My small plant (about 15cm) suddenly got droopy overnight. It’s in a 5L pot, last watering was 4 days ago (200ml). Humidity around 55%, LED 65W giving 61k lux. Top soil feels dry but still moist at the bottom (22% on meter). Did I overwater it or is something else wrong?
