Heat problem. Get the a fan on them if you don't have one already. Goodluck.

[MRHOGG]

i do have fans on, the temp 60 and the tops are 2in from the lite. also florecents dont put out much heat.

although you cant feel the heat, your plants can, and are. Move them a few inches further away and see what happens. Unless you were to see browning of the leaves i would of suggested that you were over-fertilizing them.
Good luck and keep us posted.

It can grow in a window box
It can grow in your yard
It's only a weed
It cant be that hard. :smokin:

NO NO NO....

Usually when this happens, it is a root being exposed to air problem. When roots get exposed to air, they turn to wood.

Look at the soil base at the stem...throw some more soil on top of what you have. Sometimes, repeated watered in the same spot can move dirt around and expose roots to light.

Also, check the bottoms for root exposure.

i just got done transplanting them just now. i was kind of worryed about the medium i
had them in so i went to the shop and got new organic soil. i gess its the waiting game
now,hope i didnt blow it. some one told me its magnesium deficiency and that i should
give them epson salt. what do you thank about that? ill be posting some pics in a few days so every one will have a better idea of what up. mean while im totaly greatfall
for your reply's. thank you much

[daima]

make sure that you have excellent drainage as well.
I have had cases where some of my roots were exposed but it didnt ever seem to make the leaves roll up. Perhaps different strains have different reactions. Beats me. The only time my leaves have rolled up like yours is when they were to close to the light/too much heat. Let us know what happens.
peace,
dai*ma :cool:

[MRHOGG]

thanks daima, i did raze the lites also,and drilled meny holes in new pots,hell im doing it all. so i gess time will tell. i also want to thank every one els for theyer ideas,and welcome more. thanks again.

Did you spray them with the lights on by chance?

Any pic's maybe?

[MRHOGG]

hi zandor, yes! i misted them a few times with lite on. ill have pics soon. waiting on my
camera.

Mr. Hogg.. no reason to raise the lights...it will only hurt you...

I believe, you are only using fluorescents, keep them close.. 1-2 iches is perrrrfect.

heat is NOT the problem...but, dont come down on the crew.. they thought it was heat cause LEAVES pointing up are an indication of heat issues.. but your leaves are rolling up. not pointing up, this is an important distinction..

But you definitley don't want to raise fluorescents and force your plants to work harder to catch lumens - STRETCHING is BAD

LOVE

look forward to pics...

and you are one lucky sucka to get ZANDOR, Hardon and the talented yet humble supporting cast to give you advice ALL on the same thread!!!

must be your lucky DAY!!

love

[MRHOGG]

hi every one, let me start by thanking every body that has replyed to my post.
im still waiting for my camera,hopefully it will come today. however i found two pics on the net that show the same simtoms that mine are showing,but mine are not this bad yet. still, i will get mine on here as soon i can. take a look. and thanks again.

[MRHOGG]

ill try again.

What is the ph of the water you are using to mist them?
What is the Ph of the soil of the plant having problems?

Stop misting that plant. Each plant is a little different some like more nutrients then the one next to it. Even though they are from the same mother each plant can mature at a slightly different rate. That picture looks like either a Ph problem in the soil; the misting water or they just have problems dealing with the spray in their leaves and are baking from the inside out. There are many times when people mist their plants and the water droplets act like a magnifying glass and cook the inside of the plant. (It's like when kid's used the magnifying glass that came in cracker jacks to burn ants and leafs) same idea.

Pictures of your plants would be more helpful when you get them.

The rest is just an educated guess.

[MRHOGG]

thank you zandor, the ph on the mist water was 6.0. however at the time i was out of ph tester. i have stoped misting all to gether,and i dont know how to test the soil.
the ph on the water im giving them is 6.5. thanks again.

[Zandor]

You can get a cheap soil tester from HD, Lowes or any home improvement store. You can also order one online as well. They cost less then 10 bucks USD in most cases, with that you also get a moisture meter so you know when to water or not.

Something to think about.

[MRHOGG]

sorry it took so long. heres my pics. hope this helps. thanks again.
