I have a plant that is exhibiting the claw but I can't seem to identify the problem. It is growing off of ~130w of cfls with a fan constantly blowing in the room. I also checked my pH and it was around 6.5. I have been watering with a molasses mixture and also use a diluted fertilizer once a week. Any ideas what the problem is, do I need to do a flush?

Could it really be light stress? I also have another plant next to this one. They are both running on about 130 watts but the other looks fine only a few leaves that are close to the forming buds are curled. As for the nutes i am using miracle gro for flowering plants but only every once in a while. I use about .3 or .4 of a tsp per gallon. I water about every 4 to 5 days with a molasses mixture. Also the light i am using is strictly in the 2700k spectrum. Would it be beneficial to add a 6500k cfl?

Yes they are in a closet. I dont have a thermometer in the room but i would say the temp is around 75 or 76 in the day and ~72 at night.

Hows your humidity? I've had plants look like this from a few 80%+ humidity days.

And my man.......Thats not aluminum foil you've got on the walls is it??

I don't think heat or light stress mate, your leaves look paper thin, which is usually a sign of low humidity, if heat they'd be crispy/brown on the tips,to much light =similar plus bleaching of newest growth, I think where you've got you fan is drying/ stressing your girls, check your humidity,which is often over looked, it's very important in that it helps your girls breathe properly. I hope this helps, good luck and good growing. :-)

downward clawing IS a traditional sign of too much nutes. i would flush it good and lighten up on the nutes. once a leaf shows these signs it will stay that way so look at the new growth.

The foil could cause hotspots with strong lights. CFL are not that hot. I want to know more about your watering schedule. Sure you plants are clawing but they look def so I'm leaning towards overwatering, low ppm-ec. Did you make sure your pots were air light in between? Water with run-off each time? Have u checked the PH OF RUN OFF. ? So, what food with NPK values? How often? What size pots?
