PLEASE HELP ME! Taco leaves sick plant

Labrador weed

Active Member
hello, This is my second grow, the first one was very mediocre so I really want to get this one right.
Everything was off to a really good start everything growing strong and healthy and then all the sudden one of my plants started getting a little bit sick and had taco leaves on the new growth, Early on some of the leaves had wilted upwards towards the light which looked like light burn but I adjusted some stuff and they kept growing really strong so I don’t think this is the same thing.

I’m in roots original soil and only thing I’ve added is some Cal mag, I thought that it may be a magnesium problem or calcium but I sprayed some on last night when lights go out and they seem to be a little bit worse today ( or at least not better)
PH. has been 6.0 it’s just water and a (Teaspoon of molasses to gallon of water) my water is normally 6.5 it’s well water

Someone please help me I’ll be happy to provide any information necessary

What is the temperature in your space? How far is the light from the canopy? I've seen this happen when its too hot at canopy level. The plant is trying to reduce surface area of the leaves. Overall, plants look healthy man.

Peace
 
...so, you're abandoning your other thread on this same problem?
No not at all, i’ve never made a post about the same thing I don’t think, I making two post because that’s how concerned I am.
Especially since this is an easily identifiable problem.
I have been researching this for the last couple days and it’s led me around in circles

Temperature is between 70 and 77 I’m pretty positive at this point it’s not about heat or light position because I’ve moved the lights up and made sure that it’s well vented and not too high in temperatures.
Maybe it will fix itself after a couple days but it seems to be getting a little bit worse which is kind of making me feel uneasy.

Some people think that it resembles a magnesium deficiency, some people are thinking that it’s from the heat stress which definitely would make sense, I’ve also read that you can get taco leaves from under watering or possibly overwatering depending on how you think of a taco.

Honestly I am completely stumped and I’m just waiting on a magical answer other than that I’m going to transplant tomorrow (because that fixed my last sick plant)

Thank you For your help so far Grey geek,
I am truly concerned about this because as you know it is a ton of energy and effort and money on a new grower and Ive seen how easily things can turn.

If anybody wants to know I made another post about this that’s probably a better post but I figured two would help me get answers. plus I’ve only gotten two people to help me so far on the other one

What’s your watering schedule? If 77 is your max temp it ain’t temps you can rule that out. Depending on your well water composition it may not be helping you either a lot of well water has a lot of hardness in it what types vary but as it passes through the layers of earth to your ground source it picks up all kinds of minerals. Try a different source of water (one that’s softer) for a while go from there and good luck bud.
 
If everything else fails and its not about temp it could be the medium has concentrated. For how long have you poured fertilizer on there? Is there adequate runoff each time? Otherwise it sounds like it might be super concentrated for a while..
 
looks like a combination of overwatering and heat stress....77 shouldn't be giving you heat stress, but that's the usual cause of leaf tacoing....what's your RH? if it's very low, that could be adding to the stress.
