What are my leaves doing?

[klondike_bar]

1 watering/week?! it should be every 2-3 days!

[Mr. Clandestine]

I agree with Stinky's recommendation. I feed with a good bit of Nitrogen during veg, and every once in a while I'll have a plant that looks like it's suffering from N toxicity...dark green color, leaves curling under, giving a drooping look even though the leaves are still turgid.

I grow organically in soil, and usually after a flush or two, the foliage starts to recover. If it gets too bad, though, it can take a while to get back to normal.

I wish i wuold have hopped on here befor i watered this morning, i would have excluded the growbig from the water, i think we will be alright. Does anyone think that the stress of the LST may be causing the slight undercurl?? Thank you everyone, i will let u know if the plants are still looking bum after the watering has set in.. then maybee we will know if it is N tox.

[OLDJIMMYBONES]

i wouldnt think so

[stinkyattic]

re-water to the point of runoff with plain water to get that excess fert out.
The LST should not affect leave shape.

Stinky, i trust u, but im pretty sure that it was just underwatering. The only reason i believe it not to be N tox. is because i have really good draingage and i have only used 2tsp/gal growbig once, well twice after yesterday. I just cant see one app. of growbig (6-4-4) to cause a tox of N.

So I am going to probably just up my watering schedule to more frequent right now. Then i think if they still show the same symtoms i will try flushing.

With regards to droopyness, mine seems to be droopy in the morning but by afternoon and on its really perky. I have an 18/6 light schedule. I dont water in the darkness. I have water set on a timer so I give it a dose not to long after the lights go on then stagger the feeds 2 or so hours throughout the day. This is a hydro set up. Does anyone know why the leaves are droopy in the morning after coming off the 6 hrs of darkness.

My last grow I had a similiar effect but like after 30 minutes from the light coming on, all my leaves were stretching for the HID and looking very perky. Do you think it has anything to do with the strain as far as how they react and so forth?

Anybody

Thanks

Are you using potting soil or soiless mix? Because the potting soil has more than enough nutrients to keep a plant going for good month. Growbig is definately not the stuff you want to be using now. I never start feeding for a month unless
1. Its Soilless mix
2. Leaves are showing nutrient lackings
3. The soil has already been used

And in this case, you're still doing vegetation? So higher nitrogen and lower phosphorus and potassium. It seems you're just gorging them. Try using less too because 2tsp/gal is a lot of damn food for one plant.

OVERWATERING,

maybe when you do water them you give too much water and the outcome of overwatering always give off a droopy/saggy look but the color is not effected...And i see everybody answering and all but i'll give you the main solution for problems like this.... click this link Plant Abuse Chart

have a good one, don't say i never gave u anything...lol

If it was overwatering with that much nitrogen the leaves would have definately changed colors. Probably spotted and wilted.
