should I be worried about this leaf growth or these runoff numbers

AxemAllstarted grow question 13h ago

so I'm going to show you pictures of my plants and pictures of their various runoff the one that has the under folding leafs run off was around 1850 PPM and 6.5 pH so should I be concerned with his leaves the rest of them look stunted but otherwise fine the oldest is 32days

Leaves. Curl down

Plant. Too short

Plant. Other

For soil grows 1800+ is a bit too much. I personally when do such strong mixes for feed, means i underfed her before and thats my temporary fix/boost. You have nitrogen toxicity, leaves are clawing , easy solution : just back off with feeding, for 2-3 watering cycles , she would be on plain water diet in my garden. After that break return to 1000-1200 ppms, for not running into same problems : feed/water/feed/water is smart feeding schedule . Leaves should be ok after some time.

Hi Growmie..... I think the ppm value in the soil is a bit too high........ The pH level is fine, and otherwise, you can adjust it without any problem..... Everything else looks healthy and vibrant......😁 Good luck, Growmie!

I wouldn’t panic about the odd folded/new growth yet, but 1850 ppm runoff is the part I’d investigate. The picture looks more like stressed/overfed growth than a simple deficiency, especially if several plants are also stunted. Runoff ppm by itself can be misleading in soil, though. Compare it with what’s going in and watch the trend rather than chasing one runoff reading. If your input EC/ppm is much lower than 1850 and runoff repeatedly stays that high, you may have significant salt buildup. In that case I’d ease off the feed for now rather than adding anything. 6.5 runoff pH is perfectly reasonable for soil. Also make sure you know which ppm scale your meter uses (500 vs 700) — “1850 ppm” can mean very different EC values depending on the meter.

I see the clawing on the new growth. and 1850 is a high runoff. So they are a little over fed. just give them water next watering or two and they should bounce back.. Also note with this strain if grown again that is not a heavy feeder and do less nutrients. .this plant could just be a little "drama queen" . the critical purple kush i just grew was like that. clawed with same feeding and watering as everything else, it was drinking 2 gallons more each time than the other plants so was not from overwatering because i couldn't water it fast enough. Neville's haze same thing. drank water like crazy, didn't like a lot of nutrients. i remember you form the last question. i think this plants a bit moody. The other leaves look healthy green and flat otherwise
