NEED HELP! leaves edges are pointed up

[mazman1989]

the plant is 13 days old. I have the normal bottom leaves as one on each side. then another set of tri leaves and one more set of tri leaves. they are perfect green and horizontal. the fingers on every side edge are sharp pointed up a little maybe 30 degree angle from horizontal with the leaf. is it normal to have this on the side of the leaves or should they be horizontal with the leaf to?

They should be relaxed and sticking straight out, not up. If they are up it's trying to tell you something, likely that it is having trouble transpiring (processing water out of the leaves).

Could be high temp possibly, or maybe low humidity?

What are the specs? Temp/Hum, light type?

[mazman1989]

its in the basement and the temp is 70 degrees and humid is 45-50%. It is under 4 fluorescent tubes 4 footers of t12's 3 6500 temp and 3000 lumens. one is 3000 temp and 1900 lumens. it has foil about 6 inchs away from the pot. it is so pretty but the edges are fine but up. I must fix it soon or I might have a problem.

[mazman1989]

is that ok?

[headshake]

you have foil surrounding your plants? how far is the light away from your girls?

Shake, i think this one is more up your alley. Sorry brotha, I don't have much first hand experience with fluoros so I'm gonna step back and watch here. I don't want to lead you down the wrong path.

c'mon now irydyum, don't be so modest. you have much more knowledge (and experience) than me. i'll try to help best i can though.

thanks for the nice words.

I am just not sure how plants react under fluoros. I just recently started using them in veg since temps were off the friggin map and I had to shut off one of my HID's.

Maz-
Can you snap a picture of the issue? Maybe it isn't an issue at all. And if you have a min, look in shakes sig and fill out a troubleshooting form so we don't have to ask you a thousand questions.

irydyum, i just realized that he's using the t-12's. he's got another thread asking about them. everyone keeps telling him that they will work fine for veg, but that he should upgrade somehow/someway/with something else for flowering.


maz, get those pics up....the form too!

He better not be flowering yet!
