Deficiency?

Ok...So, I have a few leaves curling down..I now know that this wasn't due to nute burn, because the ppm's were extremely low in my solution. Now I'm wondering if I over watered, but I doubt it, as it's a few weeks into flowering and I only gave it about 28 ounces of water.. And also, the small leaves surrounding some buds are verrrry dark green. Any feedback? Thanks alot in advance. I'm very grateful for the advice you guys give on here.

curling or drooping? What color is the main stem? Any discoloration or streaking near the midribs on the leaves, namely near the bottom?

Curling downward. Main stem is green as can be. Theyre are red hairs all over the leaf stems but I assume that doesn't mean they're red. And no, no discoloration or streaking. The one top leaf seems to have a TINY small blot of bright green on it. Almost not noticeable. the really dark green small leaves near the buds are what's mostly concerning me, along with the curling.

Have you been hitting it with extra P during the flowering? If not, could be a slight P-def.. but you're not describing anything in terms of P-def re: issues with the leaves. The dark green can point to N-tox, but unless you spiked it with something, that shouldn't be anywhere near the case. How's the pH, out of curiosity? .. and since you don't have a pic handy, I need your eyes to look at the plant for me and compare to these so we can start process of elimination.

Definitely not P Def. The N abundance early stage could be it, but that still doesn't add up because my solution had such a low PPM that it probably didn't even feed my girl. I'm going to post a pic.

I see canoeing leaves. From personal experiences, that usually means overfeeding....
Got a pic of the whole plant bro?

Wouldn't rule that out at all, was suspecting a bit of tox, but didn't have pic to make that initial assessment

I don't see how thats possible though, as my feeding had show a low ppm that it was suitable for an early vegging plant. And also, I just noticed one of the smaller leaves towards the bottom, the third small leaf on it is deviated and twisted.

Well, its kind of hard to tell without some more pics... got a pic of the smaller leaf and the whole plant?

def.jpg It's hard to make out, but you notice the one leaf right in the front, if you look to the right, it has a perfectly fine leaf attached to it, if you look to the left, you see the deviated second leaf attached as one.

Hmm... I'm at a loss.. the way the leaf looks damaged looks like a bug did it. And how big is your plant? How old? And how big is your pot?

I definitely don't have a bug problem. 5 gallon bucket. It's all twisted and deviated, and I noticed one next to it is as well. Is this serious?

It's crazy because 98% of the plant looks healthy as can be...And my draining holes were clogged.. fixed it with a screw.

i would definitely add a couple more holes to the pot. if you don't mind me asking, how do you water?

as for adding cal-mag, it all depends on your nutrient base/strain that your growing.
if your nute base contains it, i wouldn't. i would just wait until medium dry or if in veg make a low nute solution and foliar spray the plant or plants that are affected with it.
if it's a strain that requires extra cal/mag such as a diesel, og kush or chem's then i would hit it with cal/mag. and if that's the case don't mix it with your base, feed the base first than hit it with the cal/mag on the next watering.
