Hello, I'm on my 5th grow both Fems; 1 Auto, 1 Chocolope. My Chocolope is showing signs of too much Nitrogen, so I was told because most of her Small leaves are Clawing. I Flushed her a couple days ago and is very dry now and she Still has clawing and my huge fan leaves are looking droopy too!! What/When should I feed her and with what? Organic soil with plenty of light as I'm growing in a spare room and not a tent. Ventilation through a window and oscillating fan.
5th grow with Clawing leaves

If those leaves are only clawing at the bottom it's prob just a symptom of not enough light...the top growth and overall appears to look good in your first pic. If it's not getting enough light trim it.
For nutes you can make your own dry "COF"blend (Checkout "The intelligent gardener" for more on COF and Cation exchange) or you can purchase something like Root's Organics Uprising Bloom or Fox Farm Marine Cuisine and top dress with that.
Fox farm big bloom is good stuff along with some neptunes harvest fish. The General Organics Cal-mag is good stuff to use if you are using RO water.
Does your medium have any perlite or aeration? What type of lights?
Another option that works well and is a simple 1 bottle product is the GH Flora Nova Bloom.. start at 1/4 - 1/2 strength and work up.

Unfortunately, clawed leaves tend to stay clawed.
If you flushed or whatever, I would go back to a lower ppm, but not keep reducing until the leaves perk up.... Because they wont. The new growth should be okay, but the old leaves can basically be plucked.
Doesn't mean the plant isn't worth saving, it's just lost a little time and foliage.
Just my .02

Yes my soil has perlite. 2: 600-2000 LED Full spectrum (was told that I needed more Powerful lights) so I bought Mixjoy 315W Ceramic metal, cmh/cdm, full spectrum. For photo purposes I turned the LEDs off. I didn't like the lack of light coverage with the CMH so I put it on a little stool where it lights shines through the middle of my two girls.Today is Fertilizer day and I don't know what IF any nutes to feed her??? I've read Not to take the large Fan leaves Off because it Needs them...

Oh yeah, the Clawing leaves are Not just at the bottom, it's throughout the plant, UGH! I watered just a little yesterday because they were bone dry But she's still Clawing and looking kinda wilty

I'd just water with some cal-mag and a half strength fert, then go from there. The plant doesn't look bad in the pics. I wouldn't take the fan leafs off...I only defol if absolutely necessary. Get you a ppm meter too and make sure you arent giving them too much nutes. I usually start with half strength of what any bottle says.

Those plants look fine to me. The clawing you are seeing could be genetics too. Looks like a happy plant for the most part to me...

Put that first LED in with the CMH. Your 315 has a flowering footprint of 3’X3’. Go easy on nutrients and hard on light.
I'm still confused about using my TDS meter no matter how often I read the instructions, I must be on the slow side, lol... I took a reading with it and it was around 800ppm. What is the bottom number with the Degree symbol for?
Thank You so much!!
What do you mean? I'm kinda slow I guess, LoL

Put every light you have space for. Both lights. All switches on etc.
