1 week ago I put my plants in 12/12. I also repotted them into larger pots with FoxFarm Ocean Forest. The tips of some of the leaves are starting to curl down, and a few tips are browning/burning. I have heard this can be a phosphorus deficiency. Is it time to begin a weak solution of my flowering nutes?

Its not a deficiency, its over fertilization. Give your plants nothing but water for the next week. Leaves should recover, if they don't check the pH of your water. Anything much over 7-7.5 is too high. between 6.5-7 is perfect for soil grows... lower for hydro. Good luck

Well, I haven't been feeding anything at all, so I don't think its over fertilization. Any ideas?

Yeah, but FoxFarm Ocean Forest is full of nutes.
I dont know about your plants, but ram horn curled leaves is supposed to generally indicate over fert, especially if they're too dark green or have burns.

These lovely ladies have been in Ocean Forest since they were seedlings. I have been ph'ing my water. They are not too dark of green. I know this because one of my plants was, and these are much lighter.

I'm testing my nute solution on the males. If it perks their tips back up I will give it to the fems.

I'm still stumped, please help my ladies.
