Look for burn on your leaves.

like light green spots almost white spots and the curling inward of the leafs? and the spots r dried out

 

[Mr.Untouchable]

yeah like that. And you are under watering it if the leaves curl up like that.

my plant is in a bbubble ponics system so how would i water it right do i add another air stone?

u need to take ur pH using a pH metre, litmus paper or some other instrument. then adjust it accordingly usuing pH up or down. It needs to be between 5.5 and 6.5, idealy 6-6.2. hope ur grow goes well.

sorry Green,I have to butt in Before you confuse him....
1) ideal Ph should be as close to 6.8 as possible in soil.
2) ideal PH should be as close to 5.8 as possible In Hydro

However, use his advice on the Meter, you wont regret it!!!!

if you are growing hydro having a pH AND a PPM meter isn't really optional.
