My first thought is Mg deficiency. A table spoon of Epsom salts to 4l of water should solve a mag deficiency.

Ok thanks guys i did 1.5 teaspoons epsom salt in one gallon water because i do not have any cal mag or any hydrponic stores around my area so i would have to order it, which i plan to, and i do have a 400 watt light on its way should be in sometime this week.... But if its a mag deficiency will epsom salt fix it as well?

Hey Rob333 when u say it needs more light is that why the leaves are turning over on themselves a little bit or just that one?

The Epsom salt should take care of it just fine. I have used it on multiple occasions in the past with good results.

Ok thank you guys so much for the needed information! I just have one more question about topping? When i topped i accidently with my fingernail got a little bit of the stem bit of the what will now be one of the new tops and now it is starting to bend over, it looks like it has almost healed up and it bent over this morning so i turned the bucket around, could it just be the positioning of the lights?
Cheers

It looks to be fine from what I can see. These plants are not as delicate as some make them out to be. They are fast growing thus quick to repair them.

I have broken stalks nearly in half pushing the LST a little too far. When this heals it results in a "knuckle" a point actually stronger than the stalk where it broke. Some people speculate that the knuckle helps feed everything above it more effectively however I cannot say I have seen evidence to support that. They survive and thrive.

Just thought I would post some pics of the "knuckle" I mentioned. This was one girl's main stalk that healed after being "persuaded" a little too assertively. The plant grew fine and made it through to harvest with no issue.IMAG0222.jpg IMAG0223.jpg

Ok cool thanks 1sttimeguy i saw this on my last topped plant as well but was just concerened with this one but am now since she how sraightened out, but i bought a tenmp gauge finally with a hydrometer to gauge the hunidity and it was really low 30 percent low for veg so i added a hunidtor to bring it to 75 percent so my question is, is 75 to 80 percent humidity in veg ok? iam ordering a 15 min interval timer for the humiditor to be able to turn it off an on every 15 minutes for flower to bring it down to 50 percent for flower?

I can't speak to RH questions with a great degree of accuracy. I play in mother nature's house where she is in control (outdoor). Typically the ambient RH is between 70-90 here during veg so I would say you are likely fine.

I would wait for an experienced indoor grower to give you the best answer.
