I'm posting this for a friend so i may not have all the info but i'll try my best.

plants are in soiless medium called gold label custom
there 37 days into flower
nutes plant magic one part grow, plant magic one part bloom & bloombastic
nutes feed shed 3 days feed at 1.25 ltrs per plant then 1 day water and so on
nute strength started at ec 1 but now upto ec 1.4
ph between 6-6.3
pots 19ltr
lights 2 600hps
temps between 22c lights off upto 29c lights on
humidity lights on as low as 16% lights off 48-55%
fans intake 6" systemair
Exhaust 6" systemair
oscillating fans 1 16" floor standing
room size 2mx2mx2m

thats about all the room info i can supply.

This problem has only started since after 2 week of flower and only effects the top part of the plants.
The bottoms are unaffected but flowers around the bottom are like popcorn and up top there are pistils but very few.
the overall condition of the plants look good strong branches and all the lower branches have made a sprint to get up top for some light.
I have seen the claw before but nothing like this.
My friend sometimes has the oscillating fan on a little strong so i dont know if that has anything to do with it but any advise would be very greatful.

cheers :sad:

then it's heat stress..1200 HPS lights is too much heat for the three plants.. i recommend u 800 hps for them and keep the lights at least 2 ft above the plants

I believe it's nitrogen claw. Heat stress curls up, and rolls edges up.
thought that maybe, but looking at his line up, should be plenty of nitrogen. unless shes locked out, but even that it seems he has a pretty good grasp of. hell, who knows!?!

Hmmm, could be not enough light or Im thinkin it may be your soil. what you using for soil?
i got 85 watts for it and another big plant
i got mg organics with some mg perlite. the other plant is 72 days and doing good in the same soil. this seedling isnt really a seedling its 24 days old and stunted like a bitchGEDC0437.jpg

MG is way too hot for seedlings, if you flush all you will do is release more nutes. not sure, but you might be screwed on that one. Thats not alot of light either.

All i know is MG has alot of nutes in it that get released every time you water, from what i understand its too much for seedlings. Never had it happen with MG cux ive never used it, but I did burn a seedling using 100% Roots Organic and it was too hot as well. Looked about the same.

oh im sure it works well for the biggens. just cut it with some sterile promix or something. i cut the Roots with 50 50 promix until theyre going from beer cup to 1 gals (bout 2 weeks) then i go 100 % hot stuff. good luck

Which nuts do u use? I think u use different nut and one of your N P K is too high ....The leafs curling down like that in this case...
So if u add different nut u should flush asap and start with middle nut ....
ATTENTION: If u flush them put More N in your middle nut water for that the leafs dont get yellow cause of flush ....
Best wishes
U can check my threads I had same prb
