hello all.. y is my leave starting to curl downwards and on the edges. my room temp is 70 and thenight time 63 to 65 humidty is 38 to 45. my ppm is 1400 ph 5.6. i'm in the 4th week of vegging (i think) if u need any more imfo plz let me know.. thanks

look at the middle bottom leaf and u can see how the edges are curling

this pic of my leave is folding in half and curling downward on the ends..

 

[Racefan]

I think you should drop your PPM some and see if that helps. Try it at 1200 or even 1100ppm's. 1400 is what most run at the middle of flower.

 

[fasts102376]

thanks racefan i'll give that a try..

Here's what I'd do:
-Flush the system completely
-I'd also go easier on the nutes--maybe 1100 or 1200 ppm. when I re-fill the res.
-Examine the leaves--especially the undersides--for spider mites. They are very tiny.

P.S., the plants aren't sexually mature yet. You won't be able to tell sex until then, and you won't know for sure until 2 weeks into 12/12.

Always check both sides of a damage leaf after you remove it from the plant. You are looking for any black specs or small areas that might be eaten or damaged. This is good practice so when a pest does invade your grow, you are able to control it before it becomes a infestation. I am not saying that is why the leaf looks like that but always check to make sure. Surprizes are bad.

 

[fasts102376]

thanks guy i hope they'll be fine. thanks for the comments both white rhino have hairs and my arizona showing hairs too,but my blue truck mite be a male:-( i'll keep u all posted.. plus i did check fo mite did'nt see anything yet.. i went and bought a 30x scope..

 

[fasts102376]

hello all.. i looked at thr roots and the look all twisted like in a ball... the others r just hanging strait downwards. this may sound silly can i untangle the roots with no damage?i'll try to get pic... thanks

 

[rotaryphoneuser]
