I fed my plant big bloom for the first time the other day, and now i'm noticing a few leaves in the middle are curling, and one or two on top. most of the curling is very hard to even notice but one or two its a little bit more noticeable. just slight nute burn? is this anything to worry about?

That or too close to the lights?
Mix your nutes next time 1/4 strength, and work your way up...
Good Luck man...just use water for a time, then maybe try 1/8 or 1/4 strength...
Minor mishap, she'll be fine... less is sometimes better...

I woulda thought maybe too close to the lights, but the leaves that are exposed closest to the lights are healthy as can be. And thanks bro I appreciate it. I did 1/4 nutes, but I guess it was still a little much for her

As long as I have good green color I don't get too concerned. Sometimes I think when I manhandle the plants (i.e. LST them or otherwise bump the the growing tips) it can deform some leaves.

Yeah they are all still green. Some of the little leaves towards the center are real dark green, almost black, but they look real healthy besides that.

Dont get to worries but just keep an eye on it. What lights are you using and how close are they?

400W HPS. I'd say about 10 inches or more away from the top. The curling leaves are a darker green, and it's right after my first bloom nute feeding. If it is just slight nute burn, this slight curling doesn't call for a flush right?

No dont flush!!. Its prob just the plants reaction to the food. Just monitor it. Its prob just a normal thing but before you throw a book of problens at it see how it goes. More the likely to be fine. Like i said just monitor it. If it gets worse then cut back on the bloom slighty. If you see a change then youve solved ur problem if not take a picture in natural light and upload it on here they is plenty of ppl who will help you my friend. But the biggest mistake alot of people make (including me) is making a problem out of a minor issue.
Peace and good luck

Soil PH is 6.5 on the nose. I adjust ph for every watering between the range of 6.4 and 6.7. Have a TDS meter, never used it.

​why have it if you don't use it..hhmmm your that good you don't need it, do you test the ph from your run off ?

I am a completely oblivious to ppm's and don't even pretend to get what the concept is..Don't know how to lower, or make higher, and I've been told its more crucial in hydro grows. I've also been told testing run off is not a good gauge, therefore I have a soil test kit to measure my soil PH.

Nutrient burn or toxicity are events that can often be prevented by knowing your beginning PPM (your water) combined with your goal PPM (the amount plants can handle at a given stage of growth on any given strain). This is especially true if using tap water or well water.
