leaves curling down, brown tips

hi all, im a first time grower. have a 7 wk old ak48 plant thats fan leaves r curling downwards and some of the leaf edges r brown. also round middle an bottom of the plant, some slight brownish spots r developing. lve re potted the plant 5 days ago, may be the problem stems from here?? would really appreciate an suggestions that may help, thanks

what kind of nutes have you given it. is it in soil or hydro, what kind of lights or is it outside. we need to know more about it to help.

You should take a picture. They guys can work best if they can see what they're doing.

+1 for pics they tell all.

But judging by the averages, lower leaf death isn't anything serious if the plant is gonna be chopped up within a few weeks anyway.

Are you in the middle of flowering? 12/12? My guess is that it is flowering.

Leaves curling down with brown tips sounds like it could be nutrient burn (too much nutrients). Does it look sort of like this?



If so, you should try feeding your plant just pH-balanced water (without nutrients) for a few days, then slowly re-introduce your nutrients. When I'm flushing, I like to dissolve sugar into the pH'ed water to help leach out any nutrient salts. If you look on the ingredient in Clearex, which is a commercial salt-leaching solutions for gardening, you'll see that the only ingredients are glucose and sucrose (sugar).

If you just recently transplanted, there may have been nutrient 'hot spots' in the new soil which caused your plants to get nute-burn.

If you're just getting spotting around the edges, like this:



Or if you're getting spots on the leaves like this:



Then you have some sort of nutrition deficiency in addition to any nutrient burn you may have. Your best bet in that case would be to flush the system thoroughly with pH'ed water and then feed your plants with about a 1/2 dose of regular nutrients. Sometimes you get deficiencies because the pH is off, or because there's too much of another nutrient in your growing medium which is preventing proper absorption. However, if you flush and then re-feed with nutrients, you would take care of either problem.
