Does any one know why the leafs would curl inwards?
Maybe cause I got the lights to close?

I'm going to post pics here in a min

:(

So I guess I figured it out, It was the lights to close.
Even though they where nearly 4 inches above it.
I woke up today, To see that half the leafs on my plants burnt and wilted.

That sucks so much.

The leaves usually curl up like that when they are trying really hard to transpire. I think it means that your room is too hot and/or dry. What are your temps like at the canopy?

BTW, besides that minor curling, your plants look awesome! :jointsmile:

Well the temps are at about 78, With the fan on high 24/7, With out the fan it gets like 85. yikes.


Thank you for the compliment, Its look about half as good as it did now =[.
I had to snip alott of the wilted leafs off. If she doesnt come to in a couple weaks I might have to cutt her down =[.

Your plant doesn't look bad enough to be cutting anything off. Besides, even if a leaf is damaged, the plant can still take nutrients from it. I always let my damaged leaves get consumed and don't take them off until they are dry and yellow/brown. Do you know your humidity level? If your RH is too low, you might have to water more often. My RH is at 20-30% and I go through a half a gallon of water per day in DWC.
