I've already posted this in my grow journal but i need an answer. I'm growing Kaya Gold which is rated more resistant to pests and deseases. Growing in southern AZ the temps now are right and my elec bill has been rapping me lately, so i've put both outside to flower.

On 1 the leaves have begun curling and slightly twisting as you can see in the pics. I'm not sure if its the change form in to out and/or heat stress cuz of the black 5 gal bucket she's in. Either way this is something i've never experienced and don't recognize the symptoms...

Anyone have an idea how to correct this?

whats the temp outside?
Moving them is always gonna stress the plant, id do a weak mix of nutes, to give it a lil boost, something fairly balance likea 5-5-5 mix and some trace elements. lots of water, and patience.

Heat stress coupled with humidity stress
could be the black pot super heating the roots...try spray painting the bucket white and keep your herb under a semi shady tree. Arizona sun can be brutal on herbs...do you spray her down daily?

yea that sun is HOT out there. foliar spray in the mornings. night time spraying can cuase mold/rot. If you do it during the day (around 2-4pm when its hottest) move the babies under the shade til the water dries off (to not burn the leaves)

thank yo i'll try that, the temps have gotten as high as 95 tho that was about as hot as it ever got indoors when my cooler went out and this didn't happen then. as far as nutes go i have organicare veging mix 3-2-3 and B1 for micro nutes too

i've hardly ever sprayed the leave. when i did it was with just pure water and nothing else. should i be at least till she starts producing buds? and i had considered the black pot could be a culperate cuz it looked like just a little heat stressed in relation to other house plants i have seen it happen to. my other baby has been under the direct sun for 3 days now and has done great tho it is in a loews silver 5 gallon bucket which could be reflecting alot of heat...

i agree heat and humidity appear to be the problem.

Sadly there's not much i can do about humidity being in the desert. Had considered putting a bucket or 2 of water near it tho i'm afraid of what bugs that could draw in. Tho what i did do to help with the heat issue in wrap 2 layers of mylar emergency blanket around the bucket and it's way cool to the touch. A good amount of the new growth seems to be adapting. I also added a bit of scrap window screening to reduce the intensity of the sun
