Twisty leaves?

weedstoner420 said:
Are you saying the pH is too high? Or too low? In my mind, pH being "off" would affect the plant's ability to uptake certain nutrients, and would therefore present as a deficiency or lockout of one or more nutrients, whereas the OP's leaves generally look healthy other than the unusual twisted shape.

I often see this and other sort of minor issues get blamed on "pH problems." I wonder if there is any science to back up those claims, or if it's just people regurgitating what they read on this or some other online forum. Can you please explain the biomechanics behind incorrect root zone pH causing leaf twist, or point to some source which does?

He's right. Twisting leaves are due to PH issues. It's the first sign, much like burnt tips when catching a nitrogen toxicity.

I would assume too high, because that's typically what PH does. I'm not sure though. Too high or too low would probably express different deficiencies from cutting out the opposite lower or higher ranged nutrients.

Don't do shit! Other than add water. Trust me man. Half these guys here don't even grow in soil.

I diagnosed the problem, but didn't offer a solution because, as I said, I don't grow in soil. You do grow in soil, but your plants are always toxic by the end of mid-flower, so maybe you should also avoid offering a solution.

Yes I've fried my plants before. I've also underfed them before. But I don't mind posting my fuckups as well as successes. As you know I'm doing the no-till thing and have been experimenting. The soil has never been tested so I've been having to go by the looks of the plants. I'm happy with the knowledge I've gained.

I try to ignore you for the most part, but if you must see my lasted chop, this was just taken down on Monday. It's the small one from my closet. Day 100 Hell's OG. I don't take many pics though.

But if you start flushing now you’ll save a ton on nutes and then they won’t “burn black” from all the nutes left in the leaves. You could be at the forefront of new “Flushing Techniques”
 
Seeing all of the plants are in same soil and only one has twistes leaves and has been for awhile according to O.P.. and the others are not exibiting anything i wouldnt go crazy and adjust anything... the soil is probably fine.. it just could be a fuck up pheno.. id wait before jumping to conclutions is all..
 
Nitrogen a bit high - that can express some twist and cupping. Add nothing but water ( when needed )

Plant will acclimate to the excess and exhaust it on its own.

If you start overthinking- you will do something stupid and make things worse.

What is that base medium they are in ?
 
Padawan and Fischer are adamant about being wrong. Best advice is to block those two trolls. Haters of doing things right. Pretty sad.

If you correctly pH your nutrient solution or plain water from the beginning you most likely won't have to ask "what's wrong with my plant" on forums.

It literally takes less than 2 minutes to adjust pH, what's the sense in not?

I grow in soil and hydroponics fwiw
