Ive noticed that on a few leafs the tips are curling downward. And also a few seem to be turning a weird sort of way,i did just water them with molassas, fish emulsion, and super thrive with a ph level of 6.0-6.5. Its never done this befor so im just wondering why this is happing now? thanks:peace:

Over Nitrification
claw?: indicative of over Nitrification. Some growers loadup their plants with Nitrogen prior to flowering. This will prepare them for the stretch to follow, and will increase bud production if induced a few weeks prior to blooming the plant

The Nutrients:
Nitrogen - Plants need lots of N during vegging, but it's easy to overdo it. Added too much? Flush the soil with plain water. Soluble nitrogen (especially nitrate) is the form that's the most quickly available to the roots, while insoluble N (like urea) first needs to be broken down by microbes in the soil before the roots can absorb it. Avoid excessive ammonium nitrogen, which can interfere with other nutrients. Too much N delays flowering. Plants should be allowed to become N-deficient late in flowering

like this bit of info from the grow FAQ's says the excess nitrogen will cause a lockout condition were the plant cant take up any nutrients
