whats going on here??

Noticed the leaves starting to curl up on the top of this plant, gets watered every 2-3 days or when the soil shows. Do i need to start using some kind of fert? My grow space is small and low budget, but its really all i can afford at the moment, if this grow goes well i will invest a little more. Thanks for any input friends!

what type of nutes do u use? could be some nute deficiency

Man, this is kinda a tough diagnose. hmmm.. have you tried maybe moving your lights a few inches further away from the plants? I know your using CFL lights, and they don't put out much heat.. but when you have that many.. that close together.. you could possibly be generating too much heat for the plants. Try that for a week or two.. and see if the leafs improve.

Also, how often are you feeding them with nutes? How often you water them??

and lastly... you do have a fan for your plants don't you???? I think that's one of the things ppl don't realize.. or think about often enough.

You gotta have air circulation for the plants... not only to provide fresh moving air for them.. (and the soil)... but the gentle swaying of the plants, that is caused by the air from the fans.. actually helps the plants in the long run. It helps the plants to get stronger.. and also helps them build nice and healthy robust 'main stems'. The plants need this.. in order to support its self, as it gains weight from more and more growth.

One last question for ya.. how old are your plants here.. and at what point did you decide to 'top' the plant? I can clearly see where you 'topped' her.. and if you did this too early in its life.. it could also cause problems and stress the plant.


Hope this helped..
have any further questions?? just ask!

peace and good luck to ya's.

i havent started using any nutes yet, i have a fan blowing blowing directly on them 24/7, on low. water them every 2-3 days or when its clear they need watering. They are 26 days old today and still vegging them, 18-6 light schedule since birth, and i have been thinking that maybe i have the lights a little to close. Im going o back them off a inch or so all around and see if that helps any. I topped her at day 22. The rest of the plant seems very healthy, and the top leaves seem good except for the curling. The skinny stems worry me though. Should i start usins some type of nute? What kind and where could i find it??! Thanks again homies!

Or just start flowering?
