My plants in MG multi-purpose compost with perlite and its starting have some problems, it started about 2 weeks ago when one branch suddenly went very droopy and leaf margins slightly curled in, now they are kinda a rubbery/crispy feeling and its moving up the plant to all new growth apart from the very top where the leafs have now gone slighty yellowish compared to the rest of the plant. Pictures attached.
also my plant has had purple steaks up the stem close to the top for about 3 weeks now
can you give details on how often you water , room temp, type of water you use to water plant , ph of soil and water. MG soil should be buffered for ph , but who knows how long it sat around till you bought it.A swing in ph can make leaves claw like that.Did you use different water this time? Also what type of plant is it bagseed or did you by a certain strain ?I have had different auto's do this. i never was able to correct it.With there short life and all.But they yeild to full potential at the end. Some strains seem to have droopy curled leaves later into flowering.But you are not at that stage yet.Are you still in veg or early flowering?Have you used any nute's yet? Also add anything eles you feel might help.
O, also what size pot is that plant in and how big and old is the plant? If you are ready for flowering maybe a transplant into a bigger pot with fresh soil might help you out.

The plant in them pics looks to be possibly over-watered and possibly root bound.... How big is the container??? How long has the plant been in that container???
Like mentioned, more info will really help.... The troubleshooting form link is in my sig.... Go there, copy the questions, then paste and answer over here....

dont no exact measurment of the pot but i dont think its root bound as its a big pot, look at the pic of it compared to a male hand! and my pH is around 6 in and rufferly the same on the run-off Attachment 280123
and temp is around 72 fareen height, water when completly dry, so bout once or twice a week and strain is cheese bomb, its nearly 7 weeks old and almost 2 weeks into flowering
The best way to find out if root bound or not is to lift the plant up out of the pot and actually look.... This can be achieved by letting the soil dry a bit....simply tap the sides of the pot and it should come out fairly easy....just grab at the base of stalk and pull up.... If the plant's been in the pot for a month, chances are good that you'll have enough root growth to be able to perform this.... If that plant has been in there for less than a month, then I take back my root bound suggestion....
Is that a clay or plastic pot??? How many lamps you using??? How many watts you running??? Is the plant in a cabinet, room or just in the corner of a room??? What's your over all setup consist of???

Its in a corner of a room with one fan on it, 2 red spec 65w bulbs, its in a plastic pot with drainage holes
Wait! Don't ever do that. You could do mortal damage to the plant. Place one hand over the soil so that the stalk is between your index and fore finger. Your hand is covering as much of the soil as possible. Now turn the pot over and gently slide the pot up. Inspect the roots and return it up right. Replace any top soil lost.Quote:

I don't recommend that with any plant. You risk breaking roots and possibly the stem. I get your point but if you manage your repot schedule properly you shouldn't face this issue until the very end and by then, it's over anyway.
it get complete 12 hour darkness
Thanks everyone for all the advice, it was root bound and i have transplanted to a bigger pot with organic soil, thanks again!!!
my friend had a problem with this and i believe its from interrupting the dark cycle. not to say that you aree doing this but i see the problem in this picture as the same problem that my friend had
