Hello everyone! I am a first time grower and a first time poster and I'm hoping that you all can help me. From what I've been told the strain is Gelato 33 and currently about 10 weeks old. She is in a 1.5 gallon pot which I know is to small and will be attempting to transfer in a few days. She stays in a room that gets about 12 hours of fun light and ranges between 75 and 80 degrees. Anyone know what's up with my plant?
Leaves bowing up then curling down

Do you have a fan blowing directly on them?

Your plant seems a little lanky for 10 weeks, are you just using the light from the windowsill?

Only the ceiling fan for now

I was using windowsill for the first 7 weeks but I got a small LED grow light and plan to get a bigger one soon.
Most windows are made from glass with E-value..meaning it filters out the beneficial UV for plants to grow....your plant would do much better in a bigger pot outside or under an LED light.

Outside temp these days stay in mid to high 90s and I dont have any good shade in the back yard
In a bigger pot the soil will keep the roots cool...high temps are no biggie. Find indirect light...there has to be somewhere that the plant gets some shading at least part of the day.
Or invest in a decent LED....
Current situation is not tenable for the plant...

I actually do. Do you know exactly what caused the the leaves to bow up then curl down. Small pot, lack of good light or both?
Well small containers, wind blowing on them, pH issues.....questionable genetics. Could be any number of reasons. Hard to say just looking at one or two pics.
You should consider starting a journal. You get lots of input and feedback plus it's a great way to document what u are doing.

To much nitrogen,
Flush with RO water, 6.5PH is fine,
Check PPM meter and flush till your at 200PPMs,
If you dont have a PPM meter, Flush with 4 gallons of RO water, Let dry out 80%, then resume watering.
whats soil u using?

Are you feeding nutrients or growing in an organic soil?

Plane old organic soil. I started doing this for fun so I didn't go all out. But I find myself wanting to get more involved as I learn. Where does one get RO water?
Most aquarium stores sell ro water for reef tanks. You will need 5 gallon pails. Or you can buy an ro machine.
Collect rain water if u can.....its far better for plants than RO water.
