"The Claw" due to overwatering.

[taliban69king]

I've over watered my ak48 a bit and was wondering if the clawing of the leaves would go away in a few days.

430 HPS
temps are in the mid 80's
RH is 30/40%
plant is three weeks old and I've just switched to the hps from a mh for flowering and a 12/12 cycle.

growing in a garden soil and perlite mix

Nope , once its clawed the damage is done .. The new growth will appear healthy and normal if the watering is adjusted ..

aww man...well at least I didn't kill it. Hopefully there will be enough new growth to cover it up and clawed leaves will eventually die. I love healthy looking plants.

Get used to ugly ducklings. It is a harvestable crop that goes through countless changes. Aesthetics are fun and all, but don't spend much energy worrying about 'looks'.. so you have some claw.. everything goes well in a few weeks those old leaves wil be the LAST thing on your mind..

Whatever that is worth.. it aint a houseplant or the cover of High Times.. once you get past the 'it isn't perfect' stage, you can do great things.

Alarm? Kinda strong for just a name no?

You should just be fortunate he's one Taliban who prefers to grow an AK48 than wield an AK47.

Put it back to veg !

Don't start flowering until you can replace the damaged leaf ( new growth )

I never start flowering unless they look " right ".

It's not going to just die though...unless you keep over watering.

You sure thats right never heard of it. Get the temps down before flowering.

430w HPS bulbs are sold at hydroponic shops. They put out 30w of extra light in the blue end of spectrum.
