Hey gang I have 3 clones they seemed to be good in my veg room, but now there in the grow room still 24/7 only 400 HPS rather than a floresent grow light they have all the characteristics of having root problems cupping leaves etc. I let them dry out good and now they are ready to be watered again I am going to give them light nutes, calmax, and PH water anything else that might help?

transplant and take a look at the roots. if you see a bunch of dead roots trim them off and replant if you dont leave them alone. . I would trim a bit off the top too. try to match the amount of roots you took out to the amount of green you need to trim . also a cupping leaf might be heat stress... you said you just moved them into the flower room. if they went from t series to HPS that can be a shock for them. i like to start off with the light about 3 feet away or more and get closer over the next few days.

Thank you for your help sir that seems logical, my lights are at least 3 feet from the plants. I believe i will try the transplant if for no other reason than to see the root system!

If i was having root problems. id check if my pots getting good enough drainage. also i would give the plant a good flush with some ph adjusted compost tea.
giving a plant a feeding with unhealthy roots is not a good idea since the roots will not take in any food. you cant force feed plants that are unwilling to eat.
good luck!
