Leaves are folding down?

Hi all,

I've got a couple Pot of Gold plants that I topped about a week ago. I was starting to see lots of bright green new growth, and the plants were looking relatively healthy until 2 days ago when the leaves started to fold down.

I've nute-burned plants before, but the damage doesn't seem to point to nute burn. I've had the a/c cranked the last little while.. Does anyone know if the folding could be caused by low temps?

I have not seen this before at all, and I was wondering if someone could advise?

Thank you.

looks like your nutrients are too strong

Ahh really eh, I didn't expect that since there was no actual burn like I've seen in the past.

Thanks for the advice, I'll get to flushing them asap.

Tell us a bit more about your grow setup. Lighting, feed regiment, heat, pot size/hydro setup, pH, air...etc that sort of thing.

More info would be helpful. If I had to guess, I'd say maybe salt buildup in the soil, so flushing might be a plan

first impressions is over watering, but need more info

First off this isn't folding down! What you have here is major drooping the bear claw look. Possibility are over watering.
Over feeding too many ppms at once~
Did you just feed'em?

Good point.

I'm running a 250W MH for vegging, and water them once every 5-6 days depending how dry they are. The water I use has a PH of between 5.5-6, with regular 20-20-20 chem nuts that you can buy at Canadian Tire/hardware store. The pot size (rough estimate) are around 5 Gal each. I've had success with this setup for 2.5 years and have never seen this.

The plants started folding before I watered them, and the soil was relatively dry at that point.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

How are they doing now? Are feeding those chem nutes at full strength and every watering? That's pretty high. have a ppm meter?

No I don't have a ppm meter unfortunately. After flushing them for 2 waterings, they seem to be coming back to life, and growing at a better rate.

Thanks for all the advice!
