leaves curling?

Some of the leaves have the pale blotches between the veins which could be mg def (but they look a little speckled instead of smooth fade.). When I had leaves roll over and expose their undersides I found some sites with photos of similar condition and saying it was mg def. That was my first thought when I saw yours. And then when I saw the light spots on some leaves, maybe it is mg def.

If you want to bet on that (maybe someone has a better diagnosis), I'd do 1/2 tsp/gal epsom salt with your next nutrients.

Half tsp of epsom with give her more mg?
Epsom salt is pure magnesium sulfate. It's good stuff, but don't over use it. If you use too much mg the soil gets sticky, clings together, compacted, hard to water. That would happen if you added it to every watering like "more is better." Using it just when you have defs (or, to supplement at 1/4tsp/gal during stages of growth you know are prone to mg def) won't be over using it.
 
Hey everyone,
my clones have been drooping for the past few days and I would like to know what's going on with them. I don't want to make it any worse so I coming to you guys for help before I do anything. I'm growing ebb and flow with 1in RW cubes in hydroton. I flood the table 30 minutes 3 times a day. I'm using a single 600w mars hydro LED. Temps stay between 68f and 79f with humidity hanging around 45%. Today is the first day of week 2 after transplant. I have to admit that I didn't top off my 20gal res for that first week so I'm suspecting too potent of solution, but I'm new to this so I'm not sure. Any help will be much appreciated. 20150405_105124.jpg 20150405_105053.jpg 20150405_105136.jpg

Your plant isnt curling up due to any nutrient deficiency i dont think. I had the same problem and it only happened when the room would reach temps over 85 and my light was a little to close. Do they seem to level out when the temp is lower?

Thanks for the Reply.
Only time the temps have gotten over 80 is when I had them outside. Temps got up to 90 at one point so I'm sure some of the symptoms seen in the pics are from heat sress. I brought them inside to the laundry room since then. Temps stay in between 69 and 79 constantly now. The light is 600w led sitting at about 20in and there is virtually no heat coming off it. I was told the solution I was using was too potent so I cut the dosage in half and now they are looking tons better. I also got a new timer that runs 15min intervals instead of 30 because I was thinking I was drowning them.
