Please help me figure out what I’m doing wrong

This first plant has had issues with seemingly nitrogen and curling down for a while. All my other plants are fine and I treat them the same, so I accepted it as a possible genetic difference (all different strains). its continued steadily as is, but now I’m seeing a similar (albeit minor) signs of it happening in my other plants.

Photos below are from plant 1
These are the leaves below on my better plant which hasn’t showed any issues

1597588026999.jpegIs my soil too hot? I figured I would have seen issues sooner if that were the case. Could this be from improper watering?

This really seems to be the only issue with my first grow, and I just need to fix it so I know what not to do going forward.

I pH to 6.5-6.6 and have been feeding some earth juice bloom in low amounts. Should I just cut nutes?
Thanks

You do have high nitrogen. But it looks like it could be a watering issue. But I also in the 2nd pic the top bud area the leaves look like eh edges are turning light. Could be a pH thing.

What are you temps and humidity?

Temps are 79-84 and humidity is 45-50
I pH the water at 6.5 when feeding
I think it might be both watering and nitrogen but idk, this one plant showed issues soooo far before any of the others. I might have watered a bit early yesterday, but I had an issue earlier where I wasn’t watering enough and it really stunted them hard. So I’m having a hard time finding the balance I guess. I do the lift of the pot and stick my fingers in, but they are so tall now they sway so much when I lift them. How do I fix the soil for my next grow when these are done? Any recourse for the high nitrogen?
 
Making sure the soil is proper is important befor starting the grow.

You could try flushing the soil a lot to flush out some nitrogen that is in the soil. What are the NPK numbers on your fertilizer? Maybe too high in N, at this time you don’t want any N.

You can play with temp and humidity to reduce or increase the water and nutrient uptake of the plant, if you were burning from N toxicity you could lower temps or increase humidity, it would slow down transpiration and prevent some burning.

If it was me I would water less and see if they perk up

In another forum someone askedhow much Iput in. They are 7 gallon pots and I do a quarter gallon per and someone said I should do more.... they said 2 gal per pot

You should be fully soaking the plants and I find it takes about 25% of the pot volume to give my girls a good soak. Then let them dry out until the pot feels light and you just have to lift enough to raise a tiny bit and not hoist them into the air.

1 quart in a 7gal pot is barely enough to keep them alive. Should be 7 quarts for a good soak. More to get some runoff.
