Hi, I need some help with my plants. I’m on the second week of flowering and I’m having issues with my leaves, they are curling, even the new ones, but they are not turning yellow and they have not burned tips. I’m using the intermediate grower schedule from advanced nutrients, didn’t have any problems in veg but right now I’m pretty scared for my plants. Soil, Led Lights 400W, red light, temperature and humidity are perfectly balanced. Good air circulation, CO2 added. I’ll add some pictures
Are you able to post some pictures under natural light or grow light off and use camera flash?
I will send the pictures in few hours. Do you have any ideas for the curl?
Hard to see what’s going on with all that red. Are the leaves dark green and waxy? Like tip curl? It looks like your new growth is twisting? Is that what your talking about?
yes, almost all the leaves tips curl and the new growth is twisting a lot. On some plants, also the older leaves are twisting… I’ll update you about the colour later on… do you know why my leaves are twisting? is this a real problem, could it be too much red light or too much nutrient? thank you really

I’ve had this issue with new growth twisting on several plants. Read different opinions on what can cause it but ultimately never put my finger on it. Cleared up by itself in all instances I’ve encountered it (4/5) times maybe. Do you measure tds or ec in and out? That info and pics in natural light will go a long way to help someone more knowledgeable than myself get you sorted. pH readings in and out?, or is AN the line where you don’t worry about that?
Firstly welcome! Ur def in the right place. Second lets get u a support ticket.
COPY/PASTE: This “Support Ticket” into your forum post.
Answer these simple questions the best you can.
If you do not know, or do not use something; Just say so = NA
Strain; Type, Bag seed, or NA
Soil in pots, Hydroponic, or Coco?
System type?
Size of pots?
What kind of soil?
PH of runoff or solution in reservoir?
What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS
Indoor or Outdoor
Light system, size?
Temps; Day, Night
Humidity; Day, Night
Ventilation system; Yes, No, Size
AC, Humidifier, De-humidifier,
Co2; Yes, No
How do you water? When? How much?
Add anything else you feel would help us give you a most informed answer. Feel free to elaborate, but short, to the point questions and facts will help us help you smile
Is that the only light source available?
I’m not sure about the twisting issue due to the pics in red but I would strive for a more balanced lighting for them.
What light fixture are you using?
Twisting growth can be caused by incorrect ph. Or lights being to close. What’s your ph and how close are your lights ?
here are the pictures. my advanced nutrients solution PH balances itself to 6.2/6.5. should I use the PH down? I’m using 2 led lamps 400W with 3 mode, blue light, red light, full agro. It was perfect in vegetative with the full agro but right now do you think red light is too much red? the plants did a really good flowering stretch and they are going to start flowering.
cookies gelato, zkittlez, critical, o.g kush (all by RQS)
non-fertilized soil / 18lt - 11lt pots
indoor
22-24 C° day
19-22 C° night
RH 40-50%
3 small fans for aie circulation
220mc/h out 195 mc/h inlet
I use humidifier and dehumidifier
1x CO2 exhale bag
I water every 3/4 days with 10/15% runoff
Pics still hard to see much…for me anyway.
So is your soil coco based or what?
If your using chemical nutrients you’ll always want to check ph input after mixing nutrients in water.
I would use those lights with all of them on full “Agro” if it were me.
They need more than just the red spectrum during flower.
it’s ‘gold label -special mix light’
(no coco)
the lights on full agro have plenty of blue light, and I know that too much isn’t good for the buds in flowering. I had to go with red light only, it’s not only red I think there’s a little of blue in there. do you think that the leaves twist is about too much red light?
