Week 4 in flowering - Is this normal?

[stinkbudd]

I have this plant in hydro. Today marks week 4 in flowering. The leaves are all a nice healthy green and the buds look really good. I changed her solution yesterday. She is using Tiger bloom. Her pH was 6.0 and it is now 5.5. Her leaves are beginning to twist and some are taking a claw like shape. There are two or three fan leaves that have yellow and burnt tips. This is my first hydro grow so I am not sure if this is normal. She still has about 4 more weeks left of flowering. Is this a pH problem? Should I keep the pH at a steady level? I have been fluctuating every week from 5.5 to 6.0.

wow, today marks my 3rd week in flower and i have the same exact plant problem as you, but i am in soil. Strain is Haze x Skunk. Some of my fan leaves tips are curling and looking like a claw. Some of the new growths look to be growing twisted. Some of the leaves are curling downwards like an upsidedown canoe. Not sure what this is either but i posted a message in the plant problem area in hopes of one of the pros to read it.

Try bringing the pH up alittle to about 6.5 or 6.6. It happened to me on my last grow and I found out after the grow that it was because the pH was to low. Good luCk to both of you :thumbsup: ...

Dont panic. I have soil Haze feemale in 10 week. It is almoust there. First signs for ripening was dying of a fiew big fan leaves and after that all leaves look like klaw and some of the bud leaves turn little yalow. Check every posible problem if none then it is natural.

Are the nutes a little too high. Sometimes canoe leaves and more so the burn't tips indicate over fertilization. Just a suggestion. Won't hurt to try to reduce a little, especially at 4 weeks into bud. I am a soil grower so it probably would be best to talk with someone else, but from my experience I have seen it numerous times. Good luck!

lift your plants out the water and look real close at her root system if you see any brown roots immediately change your water to pure distilled for a few days.
