Hi all great site 1st grow I am 5wks. into flowering doing some bag seed, buds everywhere the only problem I see is that the large fan leaves are starting to curl ph is at6.5 I have been giving floral nova 4 8 7 all during flower cycle I am thinking I have about 3 wks. left and do not want to have it ruined tonight I just gave plain water as I am thinking I should start flushing with the estimated time left, and may cure any problems that may be starting, or is this just a natrual thing that happens. almost forgot ebb and flow table
Thanks

Hi all heat does not seem to be a issue temps are around 69 70 lights off and around 73 77 with lights on very well ventilated. plant is about 4 ft. top has been turned down about 3 weeks ago groth seems to have stabled off, buds are filling in still pretty much white but thickining.this was the only female out of 7 it is under a 250hps. with 9 cfls hanging all around so all the buds get even light and they seem to be doing fine I have only lost a couple of leaves on the very bottom of plant which I know is typlical. I added 2 gal. of water lastnight and checked ph still at 6.5 fan leaves stems are dark purple everything seems to be correct. I will attempt to take a picture when light are on and let all you pros help me out. I live on this site and all information from here has been very valuable.
Thanks ( still token mid 50s )

are your leaves yellowing, showing chlorosis?
if not, you may want to add some ph down. imho...

No discoloration I have only lost a couple bottom leaves at best smaller fan leaves seem ok but large are curled thru center I am not shure if plant is starting to use stored sugar tommarrow I am going to change resv. and go to my gromagron 9-5-18 also mixed with some marsh indoor plant food 0.6-1-2 what do you think I used gromagron thru whole last gro worked I have been using floranova 4-8-7 any input will be welcomed' ph is still checking 6.5 am I just paranoid or what looks as if I might about 2.5 3 oz. off it.
Thanks

I tend to stay btwn 5.8 - 6.2 pH. Otherwise, sounds like a heat problem, but you said your heat was fine, so without pics, I'd have to say it's most likely a nutrient burn/lockout due to pH. With soil, I think pH close to 7 seems to work, but from what I've read in the JOURNAL, closer to 6.0 seems to work better. Try getting some wetting agent. What type of water are you using? Tap? Distilled? R/O? Might want to try adding some Cal-Mag as well. Good luck.
