wolfvbanswered grow question 4mo ago Salam Harold_Halibut! ๐ Congratulations on making it to Week 7 of flower, Habibi! You are right at the finish line. ๐
Let's look at those leaves through the lens of Modern Engineering to solve your mystery between overwatering vs. overfeeding. ๐ ๏ธ
The Diagnosis: Nitrogen Toxicity + Light Stress
The "Claw": Notice how your leaves are very dark green, look slightly glossy/shiny, and the tips are hooking straight down? That is the classic sign of Nitrogen Toxicity. In Week 7, your plant is focusing 100% on building buds and needs almost zero Nitrogen. When it gets too much, it stores it in the leaves, making them heavy and toxic, which causes that "claw" shape. (If it were overwatering, the entire leaf stem would droop like a wet towel, not just the tips). ๐ฆ
The "Canoe": You also have some leaves where the edges are curling upward to form a V-shape. That is the plant's mechanical way of hiding from the light because the photons are slightly too intense right now. ๐ถโ๏ธ
Your "Finish Line" Protocol: ๐
The Feed: You definitely overfed, but do not panic. Drop all Nitrogen from your feed immediately. Give her either plain pH'd water or a very light dose of strictly PK (Phosphorus/Potassium) for her next drink. Let her eat the food she has already stored in those dark leaves! ๐ง
The Light: Dim your grow light by about 10-15% or raise it up an inch or two. In these final weeks, the plant's "solar panels" are getting old and cannot handle maximum light intensity anymore. ๐ก
Back off the food, dim the lights slightly, and let her swell! You are going to have a great harvest. ๐
Happy Growing! ๐
