tons of guesses for you.

how far away from light?
room temps?
what are you feeding?

Could be overnute, too close to lighting, possibly heat stress or abnormal ph. What's the ph of the water you use and do you know the runoff ph?

[Divestoned]

It's becouse your PH is too high ...up-curl ph is high ..down-curl ph is low..flush with balanced water,then check the PH value of your run off. in soil you wanna be at around 6.8 PH.

[Weedhound]

Actually I have to disagree with that part about upturned leaves/high ph/down turned leaves/low ph. I've never found that to be true and quite frankly have never even heard the theory before.

Upturned edges like that make me think HEAT first, ph second, overnute third. But without more info I'm just guessing.

[Divestoned]

Do too short-term memory loss (not sure why i'd have that..) I dont recall where i read it..But i did indeed read it from a reputable source =) . So jason..check your run off ph and tell what that number is.also what ph do you water them at?

[jasonlouisiana]

not to sound like a dick but...its soil people...not hydro...i am thinking light ..but i wanted to see what yall thought....the light is probably 8 in to a foot...and its a mh 400 watt

[Divestoned]

So the answer is...you dont have a clue what the PH is....like i said ..it's too high ...thats the thing.

[Divestoned]

Flush your girl's with PH balanced water.Im not guessin i do this shit for a living.

The light is too close...move it up to 15 inches...IMO.
