HELP. leaves curling up and drooping

Without a picture it sounds like a zinc issue. Now I can’t tell you if you have to much (lock out) or to little. What I would tell you is most likely it is too much. Just feed with regular water (ph treated) for a little while. The unfortunate thing about this situation is the plant has a really hard time coming back from this. I know that isn’t what you wanted to hear, but that’s the word bro. You can keep digging but I am sure it will go back to that. I have had this problem twice in my history. Good luck.

i had got these cuttings from a local dispensary then put the straight into the rockwool. i think i figured it out though. the problem seemed to start happening when i turned the nutes up, but i hadnt considered that i got the cuttings at different times over a 2 week span. i had also changed my light from 175w mh to 1000w hps, so i was unsure if it was too much light (heat or light burn) or from the nutrients being a higher strength. after a couple more days i noticed my bigger plants growing as usual, and the smaller plants still showing symptoms. ive come to the conclusion that it wasnt from the light change, but from the nutes. i think im going to add an equal amount of water to dilute it to a 2/3 of the soultion since i had it at 1/2 before this. that way it is less than what it is now, but more than the first feed.


i appreciate the help. all your suggestions made me do more research until i found more discription of each symptom. also gave me the chance to learn more grow knowledge . I apologize for the no pictures, i keep my light on while im awake and turn it off while i sleep, and while the light on it prevents from pictures being taken on my cell phone. i still have things i need to invest in to get more out of my crop, a digital camera is definitly one of them so i can see day by day results.

can anyone tell me the major differences between nute def and nute burns?

what is ur res temp? are your roots white?? possible root rot?

the roots look fine. i heard they turn somewhat brown from the floranova grow. i diluted the solution just a bit in hopes for them to recover, then i can gradually turn up the nutes. i tried to take some pictures on my shitty cell phone, you might be able to get a better idea of whats going on. i recently took down the foil i had around the setup as i heard it was bad. now im considering it being the foil burning my leaves as well

maybe these pictures will help

basically those leaves have yellow on the outside going in, some starting right in the middle of the leaf, and they are also droopy.

could it be from over nute/ under water?

i hope im not making it more complicated then it needs to be

2nd opinions?
