Curling down on 2/3 plants???

Hey all, I'm clearly new to this. So these plants were flipped about 3 days ago and watered with Bud Blood(Mixed per instructions, water left out.)

I'm using GH Flora series, and there LSD Fem. from seed bout 6 weeks or so now. PH is just under 7 using SM #4. Using a 250MH(for veg) and 250HPS for flower and a Glow Panel 45.

I've read it might be over fert. but i'm curious of why the "runt" it was coined, is now looking the best.

So what do you guys think?? They've had a rocky life as well, some warm streaks as seedlings and now i'm working on bringing humidity down for flower.

Thanks for the read guys, any help is apperciated.


EDIT: The last pic is of them a few days before water/bud blood, and them still on 18/6. You can see the one on the right is kinda curling down.

mine have done this several times, dont no what its from, diddent seem to matter,
a little advice, c02 is heaver then air , i hang mine from roof, i'm subscribing to see if anyone can ancer your ?

the curling looks like its from overwatering. do you water every day? also try cutting back on the fertilizer stregnth.........

mississippi, It's a bit above, and the fan at the roof might help bring it up. I know what your saying though.

cdreyer, They're watered about every 5 or so days, when the pot is light. I'm thinking nutes too, but I don't want to flush out the bud blood. Plus I'm curious why the smallest is now the best looking. So I'm hoping to let this run the course and monitor them, and then use water next time or two.

Please keep the advice coming, I don't want them to get worse.

Thats most likely from too much nitrogen, or a real low ph.

I water when pot is light aswell, dont think its nutes, i'm very light with nutes, could be fan blowing on them, or cold water when watering,(i dont check temps) not PH (I check and check agan, then check some more), what else could it be ???? doesant seam to effect plant so does it matter ????? I would still like to know

mississippi it is deffinetly effecting my plants bad! My ph is a bit above 7 with my cheaper soil meter, I'm thinking it could be locking out Zinc, Iron, and Magneseium(Or simply lacking). I foliar fed with some 20-20-20 that has the above in chelated form, I'll let you know how it goes.

is the ph meter u got green plastic with a probe,

It is a Rapiest, and since I couldn't remember the name I searched for it...what a waste of money your gonna say I take it. What is a good one for testing soil.

Actually is there one that does both liquid and soil????

yes throw it out now!!!!!! I killed my best plant beliveing that thing,
dont test the soil , just get good water testing one , test water in and test runoff, if runoff is way different like 3.0 just keep poreing water over until close to the same

Sounds good. I'm ordering one now.

Just seen your curled leaves. Aren't your temps maybe too high in your grow box?

Yeah man you hae the claw and its usually from High temps. thats the only info you left out. if its above 85 F you need to get it down for sure.

I don't think its the temps, usually around 80ish, maybe 85. Also when the HPS burnt out(running only a Glow Panel 45 currently) it dropped to 75 with no improvement. But finally after a few days, a flush, and foliar fed the one, they appear to be coming around. The runt is still looking pretty good. Pretty sure it is a PH problem locking out Iron, Zinc, and Magnesium. Last but not least I'm wondering if the HPS bulb was putting off a weird spectrum or something, it was a kit off ebay that had both 250w MH/HPS bulbs, ballast, ect. The bulb had less than 86 hours total!! Never touched with bare hands. I have a Plant Max 250w HPS coming(dang long weekend).

I'll post updated pic when the HPS light is set up

Finally, does Hanna make a good meter? I was thinking i'm gonna get the one that does PH/PPM/Temp for about 200 dollars.


Keep'er coming

id love an answer to this aswell, i had it in soil (when i used vinegar to lower ph, im guessing it was way to acidic, i had the same dodgy ph tester) but now im in dwc and the only time i get it is when i squirt the "ph down" straight into my tank and it only happens to the leaves that are related to the root area that the ph down got squirted in. the rest of the plant is fine...

Looking better
Hopefully the HPS is here tomorrow

Well the HPS showed up and the damn ballast must of went with the bulb

I have a new one coming but that is another week I bet of just LED. They have been flowering total of 2weeks, last week all LED. Pretty sure their female, i'll get some pics up tomorrow so you can shed some light

It looks thirsty as fuck if you ask me. Nutes would burn your tips before that anyways. And possibly too hot as well.
