Organin, no-till Erdpurt run - Leaves curling down in early veg. Desease, pest or nutrient issue?

What's probably happening to ErdPurt plants #2 and #3? Leaves are curling down witch makes me kind of worried about it being a desease, since they've been watered properly. Best case scenario, it's just a nutrient deficiency. Plant #3 also had a little damage on a leaf. Thanks!

Even if you wrote watered properly. Is it?😅 Growth of 6 - 12 cm in several weeks. That leaf curl looks more like slight overwatering or low root-zone oxygen than a pest or disease. Especially in no-till setups, heavy or compacted topsoil layers can slow drainage early on. The color looks healthy, so no signs of major deficiency. Try improving soil aeration slightly, and let the top inch dry out more between waterings. Perhaps some additional holes in your pot, e.g. if your soil is very compact?! You did transplantation at arrival, just check for the roots. If the pots are not completely rooted (they should be) I'd say watering or pH. So quick root check will be better than a random guess I suppose 😎 If they are rooted and not smelly at their feet the guess is quickly ruled out 😊

I like the idea of the mulch with straw however it is not think enough you want the soil line to be fully covered, this helps splash back from the soil to the lower leaves where a lot of disease is spread in plants. It also helps prevent it from drying out as fast as the sun heats up the straw vs the soil. Plants lookin a bit lush but mostly ok. Prob to much feed. I don't see this wilting as a disease, good points listed by others on how to water plants grown in soil.

Reminds dry air in grow room and well saturated pots for long time. The second root system will become strong, all those markings should go away. Think about transplant soon.

Lower leaves are nute burn and nothing to worry about looking at other new growth the twisted leaves are from a massive ph swing and they look over watered or poorly drained medium....

Hey 👋, Sieht für mich nach einem Nährstoff Problem aus. Langsames Wachstum & verbrannte Blätter können durch zu hohen Stickstoffgehalt in deinem Substrat hervorgerufen werden. Auch die Farbe deiner Blätter deuten da meiner Meinung nach drauf hin (ziemlich dunkelgrün). Nichts desto trotz sind sehen deine Töpfe auch viel zu klein aus. Die Wurzeln können sich nicht genug ausweiten, wodurch das Wachstum zusätzlich verringert wird. Ich würde also empfehlen sie in einen größeren Topf zu pflanzen (ca. 11-12 Liter ist eigentlich der Standard). Ich denke sie sollte sich dann relativ zügig wieder erholen. Hoffe es hilft 👊

i would say give them a proper big pot filled with a good fluffy MJ soil and they will be fine again.

I'd wager lockout. That no till soil is not balanced well for marijuana. Hopefully, as they mature they handle it better. leaves clawing is a sign of over-feeding - whether fertilizer or in the soil is irrelevant to the plant being overfed. just in case: watering 1) fully saturate - minimal runoff in your case unless dealing with a toxicity in the medium. 2) allow top 1" or so to dry before repeating. If the base of the medium is a lower water-holding capacity, like coco coir, then you irrigate sooner when it starts to dry superficially. if you are choosing a volume to give it as opposed to what is required, this is wrong. If you whimsically choose the time between irrigations, you are doing it wrong. You give what it takes to get the job done and you re-irrigated based on a reaction to an observation.. a trigger. That is "proper." If any portion of this process causes droop, it is the fault of the constitution of the medium. More perlite or similar is needed. I prefer vermiculite #3 over perlite #2.
