Downward hooked leafs?

Hey everyone,

My plants are 3 weeks into flower and their all doing well. Except one. The plants growning fine just the leafs are hooking downward on the uppermost half. I looked through the Grow FAQs but it didnt have the answer. Is it somekind of deficency? I just need to know what to give it to make it stop.

thanks

Hi Vega,

Are the plants all the same strain?
Are they all receiving the same NUTRIENTS and PH water?

Picture please?

How is the new growth... is it vigorous?

cheers

I have this going one with some of my plants, vigorous growth, lush green leaves, but they curl under and droop. Its only a small number of leaves too which makes me really confused;

have you got any piks

yes.. I have had that too.. very odd.... especially when every other plant is doing GREAT.... as long as the growth is vigorous and you don;t see burning.. you should be ok...

My plant almost grew out of the funky leaf thing during flowering.. but there are still a few odd ball curls...

This is what Im talking about









Heres an overall shot:

wow! Thats whats going on with my strawberry cough plants.

help us !!!

i had the same thin go on wit my plant it was about 15in and it sarted at the bottom leaves and move on up every story until it die never knew wat is was

hi im new to this but im having the same prob with half of my plants curling down hear are a few pics

Im gonna restart this thread, everyone try and keep it at the top

I'm having that same issue - thought it was overwatering, but plant has been drying out and it's still like that. All other leaves are fine except for a couple of sets. I am going to increase the sun they get today (there is a shade over my greenhouse because it was very hot a couple of days ago) and see if that helps...if there is more sun today.

My pictures (in plant problems and on my grow journal) show the exact same issue.

Here's a photo of how it looks today - it's the first sets of 7 leaf fans.

I fed my 4 veging strawberry coughs a dose of superthrive. Maby it will do something after a few feedings.
Its all I can think of doing since no one will respond to this thread with answers.
Shit, somones got to know something around here.
Oh, and the bottom leaves are starting to turn yellow.

I wish I had a definite answer for you but I don't. I am having the same problem with one of my plants but the other two are fine. I have been reading and think its a ph problem or nute lock out. From what I have read when the salts in the soil get to high it draws moisture from the roots causing the plant to dry out which is why the leaves curl. I am gonna try flushing my plant tonight to see if it helps.

I'm in soil - plant w/ the issue is in an Earthbox, so water, nutes, etc. regulated, which is why I thought it might be heat at first - cut the heat by cutting down the direct sunlight hitting the greenhouse (+ fans/misters on daily)...but still having the problem. I pulled the shade cloth off this a.m. after I posted the pic and will see later if the increased light helps.

I also thought it might be due to the fairly rapid growth it's starting to go through right now - maybe it needs some sort of nute help since it's just about to show me it's sex - thought I saw balls but it was just leaf starts and I'm hoping that the bug stress didn't cause it to hermify.

Was also thinking that with the loss of the other leaves to bugs that there is probably a surplus of stuff going up the stem that was being shared by more branches. Just a theory - I have no clue, it's my first grow and first grow of anything in an Earthbox.

All 4 of my plants show the same symptoms.

This just happened to me over the weekend, i was out of town and left when the first signs showed up. Now I'm afraid that it might be too late, the tops are still up, barely and the leaves are curled reaaal bad. Are you guys PHing your water before you feed them? I believe its a PH problem.

I have a dig ph tester so I test my water every feeding.

Maybe you all have really low humidity?
