Week 4 Flowering upper leaves curling under!

[7tarlton]

basic closet setup but two females are in one pot along with two other females in separate pots. some of the leaves towards the head are curling inward and yellowing on the tips. also few fruit flies are crawling in soil. should i transplant the two into one bigger pot? stop watering? (tap water) i keep a fan on 24/7

How about a photo and specs? Soil type? Feed? etc, etc, etc ?

soil: miracle grow moisture control/ sand mix
water: tap water
temp: 75-79 day 65-69 night

no extra nutes besides what comes in soil mix. started flowering month after planting and they seemed healthy. they still look good but the top leaves around the head bud are starting to curl under. its probably a ph problem in the soil or water but this is my first and i just wanted to have a stash for summer. can u still harvest early to save crop??

pre-fertilized soil mixes generally only contain nutrients for the first 2 - 4 weeks ...

Any more than one plant per pot, and the roots will start battling for supremacy. All will suffer.

You'll also need nutes. Veg nutes for vegging, bloom nutes for flowering. Also, may want to get some Superthrive, or some other form on micronutes. With Miracle Grow Soils, I've found better results when adding extra perlite to the mix.

The better care you give, and the more chances you give yourself to learn...the better your chances of success. What kind of results do you expect, when only doing the minimum?

The better care you give, and the more chances you give yourself to learn...

As odd as this sounds I find the opposite to be true. It's hard to learn unless you actually get to experience some problems/issues. For example a person who's never seen a rootbound plant should probably experience a few first hand as they can throw up multiple symptoms. This will help them immediately identify that problem in the future.

the better your chances of success.

I can't argue with that. Although I feel I learned alot in a very short time; if you take my plant death to success ratio it definitely is much higher on the death side. I'd say to the tune of 20:1. hehe but now I feel very confident and self sufficient in my grow and future grows to come. Which is a great feeling. :thumbsup:

I agree with Rusty.....my very first year I threw a seed in some soil and it grew into a joint or two.....I then considered myself a TRUE grower.

I couldn't get anything to grow in soil for another two years.

i admit that i am fairly new to the project but i am willing to learn and i take criticism well. i just transplanted the two females into a bigger pot b/c there was no way to separate them without shocking one or both of the plants. (GOOD OR BAD?) the other two females in separate pots are still doing fine just a small amount of yellow tips and drooping leaves. my question is can i harvest early if needed and let the others finish?? there is still lots of buds sprouting big heads!

You can harvest early, but patience pays off. If you harvest too early, yeild will suffer.

If you harvest too early, yeild will suffer.

Not to mention; potency.
