What’s causing this leaf curl?

Hi Guys

I’m 16 days into flower and everything has been going great since sat eve when I noticed that the new leaves were getting ‘eagle claw’. Thin leaves clawing downwards.

I don’t think it is overwatering as the pots are light. The PH is always between 5.8 and 6.5. Humidity between 55-65. Temps between 20 Celsius and 26 Celsius. EC currently 2.0.

I feel like everything is pretty much where it needs to be.

Can you get eagle claw from underwatering?

Cheers
steve

How big are your plants? What are you growing in? What are you feeding? How often are you feeding.

A picture says a thousand words.

They are around 3 foot high and 2 foot wide. Growing in 60/40 coco. Feeding Canna and twice day. I’ll grab some photos and attach them to this thread mate

Images attached, I really do not think it is overwatering. Throughout today they have got worse, so I’ve watered just one of them. That one the leaves are now back pointing up that we’re droopy, however the new growth is still clawing?

That coco looks pretty dry. You don't want to let it get like that. Are you watering to runoff? If not you need to start and if you need to water more frequently to keep the coco from drying out then do it. You can also lower the EC on your feed.

What is that mixed in with the coco? It looks like rocks.

In desperate need of advice here as I am now totally stuck as to what could be causing this clawing.

I know its none of the following problems -

Temp
Humidty
Over feeding
Under Feeding
Ph problems
Nutrient burn

Since Tuesday they have been fed with just plain water.

Has anybody experienced clawing leaves from anything else?

You're making the problem worse by feeding straight water and by letting it dry out like that. Coco should always be kept very wet, there's plenty of oxygen in fully saturated coco.
If I was you, I would feed a gallon of 1/2 strength nutrient solution through each plant and measure the runoff ph and ppm. I'm guessing the ppm is going to be way too high. Flush the plants with 1/2 strength feed until the runoff is where you need.

Hi mate, why would the ppm be very high if they have had no bytes since Tuesday?

Lol actually it probably wouldnt, not sure what I was thinking there. I still recommend keeping the coco saturated at all times and always feeding at least a light strength feed. When I used to feed once a day the pot would get light and the ph would swing like crazy, measuring runoff will probably tell you whats wrong.

ok I’ll try upping the feed today and see how they get on. I have attached a photo I have just taken. You can see it is only new leaves curling around the bud sites. The rest of the plant looks healthy
