Leaves Curling Down Lemon Skunk

Two of my lemon skunk plants are having problems with their leaves curling down like ram horns and was wondering if anyone could give me a solution to the problem. First let me give some info. They were planted by seed on 11/11/09. I am using coco peat and perlite as the medium. I have been writing down my feeding schedule this grow so I can track what is going on. Here it is:

11/15/09 - 1/4 Str Big Bloom
11/18/09 - Ph adjusted water at 6.2
11/20/09 - Feed with ph adj 6.2 water 1/4 str big bloom
11/24/09 - Ph adjusted water at 6.2
11/30/09 - transplant to 1 gallon container, 1/2 str Grow Big, Big Bloom, cal mag ph 6.2
12/5/09 - water ph 6.2
12/10/09 - 1/2 str Grow Big, Big Bloom, cal mag ph 6.2
12/15/09 - water ph 6.2
12/18/09 - transplant to 2 gallon container, 1/2 str Grow Big, Big Bloom, cal mag ph 6.2
12/21/09 - put into 12/12 flowering
12/24/09 - water ph 6.2
12/28/09 - Problem started with curled leaves like ram horns, flushed with ph'd water over 6 gallons
12/29/09 - flushed again

Here are some pics of this plant. I also have another Lemon Skunk that is started to show the same problem. The strange thing is I have another plant(not lemon skunk) that I followed the exact same schedule with and it shows not signs of a problem. And lastly, I had this same problem with my last grow(which was not lemon skunk) which I was able to fix by flushing, but the plants were stunted for a while. I check the ph of the plants regularly and they seem to be in the range of 6.0 - 6.5. Any ideas what is causing this again?





And this is a pic of the other Lemon Skunk where the leaves are also starting to curl over.

Its the Lemon Skunk! Did you get it from greenhouse? My lemon skunks do that too, usually only the newer leaves up top, they pop out all curled up, maybe we are doing something they dont like but mine always stop in flowering and produce tasty buds.

sup bro, got same prob but nt as bad, has your plants slowed down in growth aswell.
 
i also am going through the same problems. When i talked to my local grow shop they suspected a magnesium/calcium deficiency. I got a cal/mag nute to add and it seemed like it was helping out a bit then went back to the same old. I have tried flushing, raising my light, lowering nutes, raising nutes. Could not figure it out at all then my buddy told asked me about my light cycles being messed up. I have had a couple nights where my trap door from my vege room to my flower room got left open. After correcting this and keeping my flowering room completely sealed my plants seem to slowly be bouncing back. So check and make sure you have no light leaks in my flowering room.

it is a cal/mg deficency but i foiund that you can fix, or if badly dificient at least help the curl if you alternate using epsom salts and the cal/mg the next time don't know if its the right thing to do but it is working for me. Unfortunatley i don't know much about computers or i would load pics of my girls for you all to see! It always started in week four in flower for me and since the epsom salts i have been using its either healthy or not curling as bad as the pics i am seeing above actually quite a bit less. But this is just my suggesstion leaves also curl like that from to many nutes like mentioned in the above thread so you will just have see wich are the symptoms you exhibit and adjust. A good book for deficiency pics and info on them is a book called the garden saver really helped me along my way and could be very instrumental for your gardening needs as well.
