Hi,

It's been a while since I was here before but I have a plant problem and the only people I could think of helping me out was you fine people :thumbsup: Anyhow, heres the problem. The problem is with 2 plants both of which are in different pots. The first one is a big plant and is put into a 5 gallon bucket. The other one is in a 3 gallon bucket. Both of them are having this claw like effect to some of the leaves not all of them I would say about only 1/4 of each plant. It is currently week 2 of flowering and I am wanting to see if I can get them back to perking up. I thought it was a PH level thing but I am not entirely sure. I tried to get a PH tester at walmart and they didn't have one in my area so I am gonna have to try and find one elsewhere. I haven't tried to flush them because they were in flower and I didn't want to add a problem. Should I flush? Each one has very even nutes I have dispensed but after seeing the problem I layed off on the nutes. Oh yeah forgot to add this was a soil grow. Used some good soil that is suppose to feed for 4 months or something like that and that is another reason I have layed off on the nutes.

Also I am using 5 26 watt(100 wat output 1700 lumens each) will this be enough light for 2 plants. They veged really well but I was worried more about the amount of light for flower. Anyhow I appreciate any help or suggestions. I will try to get some pics up of both of them so you guys can see the problem yourselves.

Are you giving them nitrogen or superthrive?
Are there any other symptoms like burnt tips or brown patches on the leaves?
Do you have an exhaust fan and also fans within your grow?
Can you get pics and/of fill out the troubleshooting form?

Thanks for the response sorry I am so late with my response back a lot of stuff going on around my house. I had to hide my grow for a yearly inspection where I live. lol Now to answer your questions. I was giving them nitrogen but on some of the older leaves there were signs of nitrogen burn so I stopped. I then moved onto a more natural grow with the new soil that feeds plants but I am thinking that isn't probably reliable but what do ya expect from a newb lol. There were brown tips on some of the leaves not all. There is a fan but no exhaust fan because this grow was in a walk in closet so I figured there would be enough air. I check on them throughout the day when the lights are on and if it feels stuffy I open the door for a while and it clears the air in it. Again this is a rather large closet so stuffiness doesn't happen too often. They are in flower and have been for about 4 weeks the new growth is looking ok but I am concerned about the older leaves with the claw like curl. I heard that it could be a ph level problem but it is hard to check if it is too low or too high since I couldn't find a ph tester for soil in my area.

I will fill out the troubleshooting form but wanted to touch base first and answer your questions. Again thanks for the reply.
