Hi jimmyz136, to the 420Magazine forums.
Things happen slower in soil, and flushing is always the right thing to do when in doubt.
I'm not a soil grower, leaves curling up?
What is the room humidity?
I really shouldn't say a thing.
I'm glad you joined and help is on the way.

Hi Jimmyz!

I checked out your pics and it could be a number of things.

1. Too much fertilizer. What kind of soil are you using? Even if you haven't added any nutes, your soil may have time-release fertilizer.

2. Heat stress from too much heat. What's your temp running?

3. Overwatering.

4. Underwatering.

Do you have any Perlite in your soil? You said you flushed, and in 5-gallon pots without any Perlite to increase drainage, your soil may be too wet.

Since you already flushed, I would hold off on watering until you see if there is any change for the better or worse. Watch them closely and see if they start to perk up with less water or get more curl and droop.

HI I'm using Happy Frog soil, i do have perlite in the soil, but i thinking its to much nutes, i need to know how to fix it? thanks again all of you who are trying to help me..

If it's over fertilization, causing lock-out, Your flush should do it.
Curling down and under, not up.

yupp curling down, how much should i flush, i just re-potted it about 6 days ago and ran about 4gallons of water through it. should i test the water that comes out the bottom for the nutes? i did test it once i ran the water through and it still seem very high, i'm just going about this kinda blind. sorry to be such a bother. All the growing i've done outside and never really had a problem with this the biggest problem i ever had outside was keeping the bears away from it!!!LOL

If you have a PH meter, you would want to test the runoff (water coming out the bottom) for the PH level.

When you do a flush for over-fertilization, it needs to be pretty thorough, so you want to run at least 2-3 times the amount of water as the size of the pot, so for a 5-gallon pot, you would need to run at least 10 gallons through in order to flush out the excess nutes.

It does take a few days in soil to see the results of things, so unless the plants are continuing to get worse instead of improve, I would hold off a bit on more flushing until you're sure it needs to be done.

If things are getting worse, however, flush them again using more water than last time.

Yeah, there's bears indoors too
