This is the only problem I've ever had with this girl besides it just growing reeeaaallllllyyyyyy slow. The leaves have always been dark and they look kinda krinkled almost. And the twist. I figured its just a ph problem but I always water with 6-6.5. So idk what the deal is. Any advice?

yea dude thats definition ph twisting. you might want to check the ph of your medium to make sure there isnt a toxic salt buildup. your plant shouldnt be doing that at a mid 6 ph hmm.

My seedlings are doing the same thing, do you guys think it's a pH issue? I assumed it was caused by my light being too close, I had a blackstar 240w panel about 10''-12' above them. They are planted in FFLW and tiered into FFOF.

Most likely from the light being too close and heat stress, wouldnt think ph. Peace

Ya that twisting is heat. My leaves do the same when they get to close to t5
Your plant looks good just cool it down a lil.

Could happen due to overferts i suppose but more common with heat and normally means reduce temps and increase ventilation.

I miss my T8's dude, T5s get so hot on the plants and cant get them too close whereas my plants could almost touch my T8's no problems. I see obvious problems with T5's in small enclosed spaces with minimal ventilation, recomend T8's for these situations plus better light spread. IMO the only thing T5's got on T8's is better light penetration.

come on guys , at 10"-12" (inches right ? ) u can have an hid of the double wattage , more likelly to be a low heat stress rather too much

i relly to the above , what do u feed ? it seems it takes the max n content it can handle ( the deep green color is a bout to explode ! ), if u feed it try lower the amount of it for a week or so , get water of the 6.5-7 range

I honestly have only fed that plant prolly twice in the past 2 months. Its always been daaarrrkkkk. And all my other plants,which have had the same treatment, are twice as tall and a lot lighter.

Dont care what anyone else thinks but dark green leaves are normally heat stress to me, especially when its had very little ferts. Everytime i see heat stress the plant is either dark green or crispy brown, dont ask me why, my plants do it too loads till i bring temps down and then i get a healthy shade of green again. I asked everyone who i might of thought knew the answer or point me in the right general direction but everyone just said they didnt know like i was saying somthing stupid!lol! Still i see dark green when temps go up. Peace

Yes but we want to know the results when plants show improvment or get worse, it helps people solve future problems if you post an update in a few days.

If we just consider Bonjo78's post too, to overfeed with those two feeds you would have had to feed quite a decent amount both times, how much and of what did you feed. Peace
