I am a first time indoor grower. I have never used a forum before to ask for advise or help lol. I have a picture I can put up but maybe someone knows what I'm talking about. The leaves are kinda curling upwards just a Bit. Not bad I don't think but I'm not sure if it's good either. Temp is 78-82 f and it's currently 18 days into 24/0

Just asking for tips is all :)

If you can shows a pic that would be great. It could be number of problems for example deficiency issue, OD on certain element locking out the rest, light issue (How close is your plant to the light source?), what is your pH and PPM levels, what nutrients are you using?, what water your using?

I have to say this is one of hardest plants to grow and perfect. Perfecting the grow of this plant. You could grow anything pretty much.

Try your best to take Temps near the canopy. Idealy, you can hang a probe just above your plants. Idk if this is your issue, but the leaves could be hotter than an 82f ambient temp.

If the top of the plant is getting burned due to the light. I would train the plant so it won't hit the light. Make sure your stem is strong.

You have happy plants. They are praying, aka pointing to grab as much light as possible. This is what you want to see.

Only thing in that pic that I don't like is the water on the leaves. Don't spray plants, it can cause light burn on any leaves with hairs or heavily textured surfaces (any place the water can be suspended above the leaf surface.) It can also assist mold/mildew/bugs/... Don't do it unless you are applying something in the water for a reason.

She looks good dude. I would worry if the serrated edges start to lift up a bit. Usually my healthy new growth comes out taco-like, like that and then flattens out when the leaf is formed fully. I, by no means, know what in talking about though lol.

I would stop misting so heavily, especially in those high temps. Maybe just mist the undergrowth occasionally. (Ninja'd by nomo. Take his advice.)

I would tinker with some ventillation options too.

Okay great inputs guys. Really. I wasn't sure about the misting but I'll cut that out lol. The first few days she was slow. Then she just took off!! This was the first sign of upwards curl so Deff can use advise lol. I normally spend time roaming through all the forums and then decided to finally make an accout and post some pics :)

Happy growing!

Just be careful of any droplets of water on leaves. Other members are right. The water droplets act like magnify glass. Can burn your crop. You might want to get more lighting. I always love more light on the plant. Try to emulate the lighting as close as I can get to the sun.

Agricultural lime, also called aglime, Biolime, agricultural limestone, garden lime or liming, is a soil additive made from pulverized limestone or chalk. The primary active component is calcium carbonate. Additional chemicals vary depending on the mineral source and may include calcium oxide, magnesium oxide and magnesium carbonate.

The effects of agricultural lime on soil are:

  • it increases the pH of acidic soil (the higher the pH the less acidic the soil); in other words, soil acidity is reduced and alkalinity increased
  • it provides a source of calcium and magnesium for plants
  • it permits improved water penetration for acidic soils
  • it improves the uptake of major plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) of plants growing on acid soils.

You somehow hit the sweet spot with the water. Not over or under.

Good job. Do that next time, too.

Moderation is always the best. Medium probably has good amount nutrients to support the plant already. My pet peeve is when people mess around too much with the Nutes. Just keep it simple

This is it now so it's looking better. The stems are looking real light green and the leaves are as dark as you see without the white bulbs. I keep reading up on nitrogen tox but I hope it's not!!

Its not N toxicity in my opinion because the color would be much more darker than that. Although I wouldn't add anymore N to the mix. What your doing right now seems good. No def issues and wilting or doing something out of ordinary. When in doubt cut down your dosage.
