Curling and twisting leaves?

Update: more information.

Seeds are white widow auto from fast buds. Indoor grow that is planted in standard 3 gal plactic pots with organic soil and vermicompost from my worm farm.

The pH is around 6 depending on the day. I water every other day or two and feed every other watering with 5 ml budda grow and 5 ml of budda bud per half gallon. Been doing the combo for 2 weeks. Before that it was just budda grow.

The light is a LEC 350w inside a grow tent about 24 inches above the plants. 18 hours on and 6 hours off. The temps are 72-74 day and 70-72 at night. Humidity 50-60percent. I have a 24 inch carbon filter and 4in inline fan ventilation system with a small desk top fan for circulating air. No a/c or CO2.

I’m very new to growing this will be my second plant. My first was a purple Haze that gave me about an oz dried. I did not change anything between first and second grow.


Hello I. Growing a white widow auto. She is in her 6th week since germination. She has started to stretch but the smaller new fan leaves are curling. I don’t know what is wrong with her. I water every 2-3 days and wait for top inch of soil to dry before watering again. I have watered 3 times now with just water no nutes thinking nitrogen overload but she is not bouncing back.

What can I do to help her recover?

I was thinking lack of K or over feeding

I updated the original post. Please let me know what you think.

How do you determine when they need to be watered? I saw your nutes but am not familiar with them. Is what your feeding them full strength or half dose etc etc. Its also a possibility they are root bound. 3 gallon plastic there’s a chance of it.

Your pictures get really distorted when I try to zoom. So it’s kinda hard to tell, but almost looks as if your plant is revegging. I think that’s normal with ruderalis.

Something with your temps looks a little fishy too. A 2ish degree swing from lights on to lights off seems pretty low for hid. Also wondering if your ph of 6 is what you’re putting in or what is coming out? And if you have been monitoring ppm in and out?
