narrow thin leaves

I'm not too worried about it because there's no miscoloration or dying leaves. other than the occasional random leaf here and there just like any plant.but my new growth is extremely thin and just wondering if it's a sign of anything. my lights were cut back about 3-4 weeks ago to flower-mode. and that's when i started to notice the issue.

I did make a change in nutes on one of my plants but the problem is on both so I see no relation.

probably nothing but just checking out

I'm no expert but ... they call that the claw ... kinda looks like one .. this is overfertilization if I remeber correctly ... give a good flush and back off the nutes a tad .. should see correction in the new growth shortly after ... dont bother watching the clawed ones ... seems like when they do that they have a tendancy to stay that way .... good luck .. hope this is helpful
 
+1 to flushing... I just had the same issue and it took me a hot minute to figure out. I have found that unless you use all organic nutes and for some reason i dont think you are (i wasn't when this happened to me) the nutes build up causeing the soil PH to drop... This is essentially what happened in my case was all the unused nutes built up in my soil, turned into salts and over time built up which lowered the ph of my soil. (To find out the ph of your soil check the ph of your runoff.) So to stop the problem I flushed. And in the course of my research i have found that alot of folks recommend flushing a few times in the life of your lady (unless you use organic nutes like bio bizz or GO...apparently you dont have the same salt build up issue from what ive gathered. Be sure to stay aware of your ph try to keep your soil between 6.5 and 7 (according to jorge cervantes book) :joint:^_^ hope this is helpful...

alright I'll be sure to lower my doses, my water already has a high ppm without my nutes so that might be playing a role. but my ph checks out
is it okay to flush wet soil? I'd assume so but just want to be sure

thanks everyone for the help

Also, watch for your humidity being too low, temps too high, and/or a fan sapping the moisture from those leaves.
