ok, at first it was only one leaf, but now its happening to ALL my new growth!
The sides of my leaves are curling DOWNward and i dont know what to do...
I water every two days and only when the soil is dry. I think it may be a Mg deficiency.
What is an easy way to feed it Magnesium?
Thanks

how big are your plants?? u could be overwatering them.

[iwantFUEGO]

its just one plant. Its about 9-10 nodes tall and starting to flower.
Its still in its original 6in pot.
I water it every two days... only when the soil is dry of the pot feels light.
Im using MG potting mix so im not using any nutes.
I water with Publix Spring water.
ive been training it alot lately... maybe its getting stressed?
It looks to me like all the new growth is curling and is staying light green (ealier leaves turned a nice dark green).
The branches are also turning red... more and more each day.
I hope nothing is wrong.
Any ideas?

Well i'd transplant it right now, before it really gets into flower, and BE CAREFUL, because otherwise it'll stunt growth.

Found your problem, you are feeding them junk food at best. With MG there is nothing you can add that will not over feed them.

What is the Ph of the soil?
What is the Ph of the water you feed them with?

They are not getting the proper nutrients to match their growth cycle.

You can try to transplant it into a pot with a 50/50 mix of just plan top soil and Perlite. Try to wash off all the MG crap you can and hope it does not shock your plant to death.

yeah that 6in pot is not gonna cut it...go bigger..grow bigger..me...

[iwantFUEGO]

well thing is... im very happy with the size of the plant... i tried growing it as small as possible.
I haven't been monitering pH levels or feeding the plant. I just figured the MG would be good enough cuz this is my first time. I guess ill just keep watering it and feeding it light and i will post pics of my harvest... Who knows, i may get something nice. It looks pretty nice so far. The leaves are actually looking better now... i dont know why. =D
Thanks

ALLWAYS monitor the ph levels, specially the water ph...only that way will the plants take all the food ur giving them..

[iwantFUEGO]

my next grow will definately be controlled.... and organic for that matter.
i will def post my results with the MG...
