Weird Leaf Problem

GeorgeGrowss
GeorgeGrowssstarted grow question a month ago
New leaves show strange twisting/curling. Humidity ~50%, temps 28-21°C (D-N). Did LST last week—could twisting be due to reorienting to light? Using All-Mix soil, Bio Grow, Calmag. Water left 24h, not pH'd. Some leaf holes caused by me. Flipping soon—help resolve this issue!

Puede que te hayas pasado regando, pero sigo pensando que tienes de defoliar esas hojas grandes y con boquetes, las primeras hojas de abajo que ya son muy viejas y las que dan sombra a los brotes :S no tengas miedo a podar, estas plantas son muy fuertes y lo agradecen ;)

Lst is for spread, now you topped and made one huge bundle out of plant. Leaves cant touch soil, thats first. Second - they need good air movement. You could take off few biggest leaves, but i would just reposition them with ties, i would say its 2 weeks too early for any major strip, especially if you want big and healthy plant in reasonable time. Answer to why twist - no air movement and no light penetration. Bad humidity levels or watering habits could add up to make such situation as you have ....

competing for light / overly shielded leaves -- too much congestion. Systematically thin it out. Most of those early nodes won't grow useful buds anyway. destined to be stripped away. plus, if there's no room for it to develop, you get rot-riddled buds and bunched up on top of each other. if nodes are too tight, reduce light.

I'm a Walmart greeterrrr Hey! i can't tell 100% without knowing all the environmentals, but it seems like she is overwatered? stunted growth and discoloration looks like it. How big is the pot? In the picture it looks quite big and maybe you tried a little too hard to take care of the soil and overwatered her, but that isn't easy and we all do these mistakes. Photoperiod can recover, automatic will be hard im honest :/ Gl tho!

Looks a bit crowded and with some aggressive LST its just bulky. Space between nodes is a bit tight so light could be to close or you could dimmed it a bit more. I like to let my plants grow out more before doing some LST and when I do it. I like it so the leaves are not touching the medium/substrate this will help prevent disease and other issues down the line. Also setup good watering habits like watering when its needed not when its on a schedule.

Possible the light is too intense so close also, this could be contributing to the damage done to leaf.

If the grow areas is too hot (above 86 °F/30 °C), or too cold (under 55 °F/12.78 °C) the plant is unable to transpire and move water throughout the plant. This also causes a wicking of moisture from the plant tissue and will cause the leaves to shrivel, twist, or curl up. You should know yourself how accurate your temps are. If your sure its not that then move to nutrients. Nutrient deficiencies Nitrogen: A lack of nitrogen can cause leaves to curl up. Phosphorus: A lack of phosphorus can cause older leaves to curl, distort, and remain smaller than normal. Boron: A lack of boron can cause leaves to curl up. Boron also cause dwarfism as is responsible for cell elongation. Not nitrogen, would be visible. Not likely phosphorus I'd expect other symptoms.

Hey growmie, I think its just a bit too crowded down there they have little to no space to spread out, I suggest removing one or two biggest leaves that take up the most space and don't let air and light penetrate your canopy, then the smaller ones might get some space, good luck!
