Hi, when the leaves of a cannabis plant are pointing upwards and take on the claw shape, it can be a sign of heat or light stress. This often happens when the lighting is too intense or the plant is too close to the light source. It could also be triggered by high temperatures or low humidity.
To fix this, you should check the following:
Light intensity: Make sure the lighting isn't too strong or the lamp isn't too close to the plant.
Temperature: Keep the temperature in an optimal range (around 20–28 °C, depending on the growth stage).
Humidity: Ensure that the humidity meets the plant's needs (e.g., 40–70%, depending on the stage).
Watering: Make sure the roots aren't under dry stress, but avoid waterlogging.
What I've also noticed is that they are very dark, which can also indicate over-fertilization with nitrogen, but I lean towards the first point. With nitrogen, the claws tend to point downwards.
