Im not even sure what I am looking at in that picture! How can I help . Ill see what I can do though.Dave, this one's yours.
Thanks for the props on the previous post.I edited it to be more clear about what I meant when turning it sideways. I meant turn the pot diagonal, not lay it on its side. Sorry everyone.
Bob, any chance you can get an overhead shot of the affected leaf?Hi all
Thanks very much Uncle of us all. You are probably very right saying We get not exactly what they tell you do. We'll see what the end produc tdiffernce is .I dont think there are insects in my tent - couldn't find any. Yesterday evening about 4 hours before end of 20 hours bright period I noticed that the tallest plant got his leaves' (those around flowers) "fingers" dropped down. In the morning after dark perion they where up again. But I noticed curly fingers of one of the top leavs (picture) . Would you say it's to close to my 250 HPS or may be nutrient overdose relaited?I gave that plant 1.2litre of watter with 0.8ml of Bio-Grow, 1.5ml Bio-Bloom and 0.5ml TopMax two days ago. I'm not sure If I underwater them or not. They are in about 3 gallons pots. Any info for NOOB from GOD really apreciated.

It wouldn't appear your HPS is too close. The rest of your plant in the pic looks pretty good. I would suggest you get a light meter though. Its a great tool. It will help you better rearrange your plants in your grow tent.
With regards to nutrient related, I have used Bio-Grow & Bio-Bloom and feel they are mild, and designed to be used with their nutrient rich soil. Your plant is showing a slight touch of yellowing at the tips, which is a precursor to leaf scorching caused by excessive nutrients in the rootzone. Do lower leaves look the same or do they have any scorching at the tips? If lower leaves are scorched, then back off on the nutrients. Its hard to tell you what dosage to use without knowing what type of soil you use. Some are nutrient poor, and designed to be used with heavier doses of fertilizers, while some are the exact opposite.
I would suggest you use more water though. 1.2l is about 33oz, and I use that much for decent sized plants in one gallon grow bags every two days. I do use a coarser soil thats geared towards drainage/increased air porosity and less water retention, so my water needs are different than yours. If you use a heavy peat or compost based soil it will retain more water, and more care needs to be taken care when watering. Ideally I would like to fully saturate the rootball so all roots come into contact with water, but that could cause problems in soils that retain too much water. If you've read my post on the last page, then you'll already know what to do after watering to reduce your perched water table.
