Help!

one of my plants is starting to curl its leaves from stress, but i cant tell what its from. maybe the new light system is pulling too much water from the leaves? they look healthy and green and such with some tiny burn things from water droplets staying too long on a leaf with the lights on, if i had a camera i'd post some pics. So far i'm thinking its just some stress from somthing, but i dont change anthing ever, except the nutrient solution. the water ph is good, theres no nutrient defficiency showing that i can tell. ugghh...this is day 3 of my first dwc grow (i'm a soil guy) and these plants have been in soil since day one (with cfl's) and now switched over to dwc with a 240w metal halide. all the other plants are doing fine except this one.

i need some help, even possible sugestions cause i'm stumped

new news. the tips were dry and crackled off. these plants are only 2-3 weeks old and i have no idea whats going on with them. i trimmed the dead leaves off and switched it back to its original soil pot it was doing well in and swapped another soil plant into the dwc in its place

Without pics it's a shot in the dark. Could be heat curl. I had that same stuff. Dry crackling leaves. Try and get some pics up for us. Good luck!

maybe i'll move my fan so that it cools down the air just on the plants. thanks for the help

No problem. If you can borrow a camera for pics, we would all appreciate it! PLUS it would help us help you!


Peace!

Yea post some pixels...I just went thru this heat stress thing by not raisng my lights once they stopped stretching in flower.. I toasted alot of my fan leaves on my colas man..When they stop stretching u need to get the lights above the colas.. 300 watts or more id put at at least 8"-12" ..If not cool tubed or A fan blowing the heat from the tops of the plants.
Close lamps are fine during early flower. Mine were 4 inches or less during early flower.Id keep um as close as possible without burning during this time but as soon as they stop stretching and concentrating on top bud site growth raise the lamps and let them soak in the lights..
If they look like this then its a heat thing.
But also notice in pic 2 the new growth and cola growth that continues healthy when u remedy the situation.
Fix the problem ASAP dont wait like i did.

so i got my metal halide at 1 1/2ft. all my plants just exploded.nodes are every inch at the max and the leaves that come in next to the pistils are showing up really fast, they wernt there yesterday and now they are about half an inch. growth has been ridiculous. i pay waaay too much attention to the ladies.

I'm like net, I had both a bit of a heat issue once and also the fan... that fan will do it yo

How they doing now man? A fan blowin on the lamps jus above the colas did help remedy my situation. In direct or light breeze applied to the actual plants themselves is all thats neccesary as far as breeze or wind on the plants themselves..

Odor filtration is key and goes hand in hand with ventilation of air in the room.. Temps are key to odor.. Odor control is the key to stealth growing.

Hope this helps.
