Need a little help from the vets the plant leafs look like they are rolling into little spliffs. My soil is an organic soil made of 95% peat moss.
Im using 20 20 20 fert, maybe once every week and a half. Was using tap water but realized its softened so
I started using bottled water 2 days ago. The plant looks very healthy to me except for the plant trying to smoke itself. Help would be greatly appreciated.

The humidity must be low and the temps high. She is going into transpiration overload. Upward "tacoing" of leaves is usually a heat/low humidity problem. Too much air flow on them while this is happening can be bad too. Whats your environment like where she's growing..temps, humidity, and whats your ventilation/air flow like in there?

jpockets has it right, Your lady is suffering heat stress. Raise your lights and put a bucket or tupperware container full of water somewhere in the room, it should raise the humidity. If thats not enough, then you might want to start misting your plants at lights off.

Well i dont have a temp or humidity gauge but i do have a fan in the tent thats on all the time when the light is on.
the fan is pretty strong. it doesnt get that hot in the tent though. ill start putting a container of water in there from now on. Should i put a pump in the water, to aerate the water so it doesnt stagnate? the air flow should be ok the tent has
vents.

Like the other said. Heat Humidity problem.
Go buy a damn thermometer...cheap 5 dollar one would work.
Pot water would help and the air pump will help get more moister going. But, not necessary.

Good luck

walmart sells a thermometer / humidity meter for $10, and its shows high and low of both for past 24hrs

just because tent has vents doesnt mean air is pushing or pulling through, (which is what inline fans are for)

needing something to pull cool air in and hot air out.. it is a must for any enclosed environment, especially when having issues with Temp / Humidity.

and just for the record, 80+ really doesnt feel to hot to me, but when plants stay above 80+ combined with low humidity it causes the problems stated above
