Soo. today i noticed my leaes were curling up all weird and I started researching and i thought it might be cal mg so i fed it, and the tip of one leave looks burnt but i may have hit it with my light this morning when i was picking it up.

so i just want to know whats up with the curling leaves? heres two pics. it was planted on july 12th after i germinated it.Picture 001.jpgPicture 002.jpg

dont worry its not dead yet lol. if the leafs start browning more i would flush it if your worried your burning it. just run a bunch of water through it for awhile and you'll be alright.

and im with you think its a mag issue. give it a day or 2 and see if it fixes it.

Dude, that plant is not even Grateful Dead, ease up on the water/nutes if you are even doing that and bump up the light spectrum !!!!!!!!!

i may flush and stop using the nutes. i think i may have been over watering it, i just read every day/every two days may be bad. if its overwatered and i flush it, is that super bad for the plant?

well it SHOULD recover. over watering it is better then burning it to death. like i said only if the burns get worse. just burning the tips will happen but wont exactly kill the plant. would let it sit a couple days if you could before giving it more water cause that could be the issue. theres no reason a plant of its size would need mag this early.

stick half your finger down into the soil between the main stem and the side of the pot and if its moist to the touch at all even if its barely noticeable dont water it. you could even wait till the leafs start drooping down to water it.

lol alright. and they are not under high heat im using a few cfl's and there not hot at all about 8-12 inch's above the plant.
and curling up like a taco is the best description of whats going on with the biggest fan leaves.
