I'm on my 12th day of flowering and I'm using Liquid Kool Bloom at 1/4 strength 0-10-10.

I've noticed that alot of my fan leaves are curling under which you should be able to see in the pic....

Is this normal? I'm using 7 26watt soft White CFL's currently. I do see several white pistils. I'm just trying to figure out do I have some sort of deficiency or is fan leaves curling under normal.

no 7cfls isnt too much light,
are the curled leaves moist or are they drying out?
if they are moist it may be from too much humidity
if they are dry it may be temperature or underwatering

they feel dry....and I have a moisture meter and it says the soil is moist
I'm only watering her 1 liter plus another 500ml of water every watering in a 3 gallon pot.....

is that not enough water?

i'm flowering and my leaves curl under. i've attributed it to over nute-age. just slowe the just water thing and play it cool boi for a second. just do what a normal plant would want until it's nursed back to regular and then start adding the steroids so it's Dolph Lundgren in rocky IV.

OK I have some plants doing this also, and I'm pretty sure it was cuz they were root bound. What size container are you using? and when did you repot last?

I'm using a 3 gallon pot now.....I transplanted her from a 1 gallon pot 4 days ago which she became root bound in

I know the roots should have plenty of space now since I transplanted her

lower ur temps, ur fert levels, and ur watering until this shit stops. water when dry and then start fertilizing again. don't jeopardize a good grow.

See that's similar to my situation. But even though they've been repotted into a much larger pot, those leaves are staying the same, however the new growth looks great. Good luck with your grow.

so you believe its over-fertilization? I only used a half teaspoon of kool bloom into a gallon of water and shook it up and been feeding her with that water.

my temps range from 75-82F during the day and 75-71F at night when the lights are out

I haven't changed anything except for using the kool bloom since she has been in flowering...

I'm using Miracle grow Organic...my lights are out now in the grow room so I can't check to see what the NPK is but I'm pretty sure its 10-6-8 I can't recall but its the potting mix.

Kool Bloom is 0-10-10

I started with Miracle grow slow release early on and found out that wasn't the best idea...so I quickly changed to MG organic and 4 days ago I transplanted her into new MG organic soil.

have you had a problem with mites...?

sounds like u either are over watering or u have a nitrogen deficiency. if u were later on in flowering, it'd be fine. add a tiny bit of bloodmeal??? that's what i'd do or revert it back to vegetative growth. are u flushing and foliar feeding w/ just water?

I foliar feed a night just before the lights go out with just water.....I have fish emulsion 5-1-1

I haven't flushed her yet.....I just repotted her like 4 days ago into fresh soil...the bud sites look great and I'm seeing white hairs

I just wanna fix the problem now or atleast find out what could be going wrong....she looks sad right now and I'm use to her being very perky :)

stop foliar feeding....stop nuting it for a sec...i'm serious just play with water and ur problems will probably go away and u can narrow them down as u add things. otherwise its ur shitty water (do u have a pH meter?) or the shitty soil.
