Flipping to flower issues

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my plant? I’m flipping to flower. I had the plants in darkness for 1½ days. 2 days prior to that I fed them the “flip to flower” recommended dose of the three-part General hydroponic nutrients. The only thing new I added was cal-mag from the same company.

Your plant looks great. What specifically are you concerned about?

Welcome aboard. When did you flip? Some take longer than others to finish stretch and start.

The leaves are canoeing downwards, and the new growth is lime green.
Do you think the nitrogen in the cal mag did this?.
FYI pH was 6.0 - 6.5.

I literally took it out of 1½ days of darkness today. I was in shock when I turned the light on lol.

The stretch has begun. Its all normal. Fast fast growth causes the light green color until the chlorophyll catches up.
Hang on for the ride. You are doing great.

Do you see what I’m saying now? They are curling down on themselves. (Like an upside down taco)

No worries at all. They will start zooming up.

I’m seeing it more towards the top. They feel dry.

Your plant is doing great.

Most likely a result of the extended dark period. Give them a couple days and you’ll see them back to themselves.
Plants Look great btw as the others have already said above.

They do look pretty healthy but I see what you’re saying. It’s happening to me, too. I would say just reduce the amount of water that they are being given because they look slightly overwatered. The keyword is slightly.

Honestly, these plants do be acting stupid sometimes. I had a super Skunk in my current grow show signs of nitrogen deficiency and light burn. Two weeks later all the new growth came out fine. I did have to foliar spray her more often than the others, but her health caught up and she looks like a winner, now.

I see the tips on a few curling down and painted fingernails. Right on the edge of nute overload, otherwise the plants look great.
I am not to sure on the extended dark period. I would just change your timer at lights out and wake them up 12 hours later. Why the 1.5 day darkness?

They look great, I wouldn’t be too concerned about a couple leaves.

Like others have mentioned yellowing is normal with fast growth.

The gh flora has plenty of cal/mag already in it, no need to add more as it was already designed for Ro water. They do make a hard water version for folks who use water containing trace minerals.

Why did you do 36 hours of darkness? Im almost positive thats why they look like that. How big is that container? Im in 2 gallon pots and i know if i was at day 4 since my last water the leaves would droop as well.

Agree with slightly over watered.

I was told one to two days of darkness helps the plants flower quicker.
