Twisted wilty looking top leaves

[VTDank]

Hey fellas, I'm back with another problem, not serious, but it is stumping me, the top growth on my largest plant is just looking twisted, and wilty, since it is affecting the younger leaves my vast horticultural knowledge tells me it might be an immobile element deficiency like boron, calcium, or iron, but I had a knowledgeable source tell me magnesium....not sure, or it could be a heat problem, i hope to get a thermometer or something in there soon so I can keep track of that, but it doesn't seem overly hot to me... my specs are:

2 days into flowering(1.5 months old total)
happy frog soil
shop fluoros, CFL's

thanks experts :thumbsup:

sorry about the bad picss but my shitty camera is all I got...

here ya go

Uhhhhh.....ouch. Check the ph of your soil runoff.....good luck....those look sick.

[VTDank]

do you really think it could be pH? I'm growing in an organic medium with no fertilizers used or anything? and my water pH is right at 6.8, which isnt at all bad....she isnt that sickly either bro, actually lookin quite good :jointsmile:

[Weedhound]

Yes I think it's ph issues....and if it is it will spread down the whole plant. Here is a really good sick plant guide to check out....hope it helps. Good luck.

nothing in that guide resembles my problem, except a vague resemblance to off humidity, but i'll check the runoff pH and post it later...thanks

[Weedhound]

Darn then...let me look.....your plants are exhibiting the "eagles claw" look of abnormal ph. Let me see if I can find some decent info for you

[Weedhound]

International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums - What causes new leaves to curl down?

That was actually a little harder than I thought. Try this link. Hope it helps.

ahah! thanks weedhound, perfect that is exactly like what I have going on, and I'm pretty sure this plant is a blueberry cross as well, so maybe it's just a genetic thing, oh well, say if my runoff pH IS acidic, what should I do? add the pH up to my tap water to adjust? thanks bro

[Weedhound]

Yes....some ph up and flush the plant until the runoff equals the ph of the water you are pouring in the top. Usually it's 3-5 times the amount of the pot .....if you have a 1 gallon pot you usually use 3 gallons of water. (as an example)

I'm not a soil grower so can't help you there much but I know there is a good explanation of flushing in the Revised Sick Plants link. Check your ph runoff before doing anything else though.
