First Time Grower [White Widow] dark green, edge curling, and slight clawing

Imo, she looks a lil over fed with nitrogen, but she'll grow out of it, the clawing looks overwatered to me.

Regardless.... she's not trying to get rid of upper leaves, and she definitely doesn't need defoliation or topping yet. Let her straighten out first.

I wouldn't fuss too much over her and let her get cozy in the new environment. I know first grows are exciting and every turn is a new challenge in a fun way but less is best in many aspects of herb gardens. Happy growand please keep us posted
Thank you! Will def be updating every week or so

Ok, thank you for the advice!

Update: she she’s been doing a lot better the last couple days, edge curling is less exaggerated… judging by the slight edge browning, I’d have to guess nutrient burn was probably a large part of the edge curling. The clawing is still there, but much less prominent, and now primarily on the lower leaves (assuming it could be because those leaves are getting more nitrogen than higher up in the canopy). I went ahead and topped, Going to wait a bit for more growth from the mains, then I’ll start training down, and let the mid- section catch up. I def need to get them out of the way as they are blocking a good portion of light from penetrating… Appreciate all the advice from everyone!

Update: She’s been shaping up quite nice! Been doing some training to squat her down even more than she already is in order to prep her for the Scrog (should be in the 4x4 by next week for another few weeks of veg). Slight de-fol here and there as her fans are massive and a few were just blocking too much light below the canopy. She seems to be eating through that nitrogen better these days as I’m starting to get some lighter green tones coming through. Thanks again for all the pointers along the way!

Been a long time since I’ve updated!

Had some major yellowing and crisping up on the fan leaves, had to cut quite a few off. Initially thought it could have been due to underfeeding so I bumped up the ec and the burn got worse. Last watering I did RO/cal mag, will probably do the same on this next watering, then I’ll add a small top dress and finish them out with that way... buds are gettin Thicc! Around 20 days til harvest!
