Hello, could anyone tell me if my plants are healthy or not? The leaves are curling up a little bit and I am wondering what could cause this? Also currently I am using 20/4 light cycle with 250w hps should I change to 18/6 already? The strain is girl scout cookies and I am using biobizz allmix soil and biobizz nuttrients.

What are your temps like? Could be too trying to dissipate heat.

Hiya @Tetros420 the girls look good, a bit of curling on the edges is not a big alarm setter in my book. How close are your lights? That looks like a bit of "it sure is bright and warm and dry in here" curl to me. For better diagnosing, I'd be curious to hear about:
1) How close your light source is to your girls
2) How warm is it in your room
3) What is the humidity and circulation like
4) What kind of soil/nutes are you using
5) Whats your PH levels like of your soil and water
24 hour light cycle is fine unless you are burning the girls up with too much light and heat. It's really not necessary though in my experience, I'd rater give my girls a rest and save 6 hours worth of electricity! I really don't see much difference when I leave my veg room at 24 or 18/6.

Too close to the lights IMHO.

My temps are around 25-27°C when lights are on.
1) my 250w hps is 45cm from the bulp to the top of my plants
2) 25-27°C (rarely around 27-28°C momentarily
3) humidity is around 30-40% and air circulation is really good.
4)I am using biobizz allmix soil and before used rootit first feed on my plants but now been using biobizz root-juice and biobizz bio-heaven
5)I have not measured my ph levels at all
Ps: I just changed the light cycle to 18/6

Hmm that's not a bad distance for HPS i think, but I'm not sure I use LED. I'd let a few cycle of 18/6 go and see if that helps. Besides the bit of curl they look healthy!

Like @Pbass said, they don’t look bad. I had 1 of 4 plants have leaf curl like the the whole grow. It gets no different treatment than the others, same environment, same feedings sometimes plants do some strange things.

I thought you use mhz for veg and switch to hps for flower the light spectrum is different I really dont know but that's what I was told

Hey @MrSauga quick question can you use hps for veg
Ideally MH for veg and HPS for flower but lots of growers will just use HPS for the whole grow. I've forgotten to swap out my MH at flip in the past so I can see why some just use the one.
