Is this normal during flowering

We’re on day 4 of flowering. Day 1 and 2 we had our plants in complete darkness. Day three we started on a 12/12 light cycle. It rained a good amount on our plants then. This is day 4. Is it normal for the leaves to start curling and browning?

If the leaves are on the bottom I would’nt worry to much. From what I can see they look pretty good.

It doesn’t look right to me. I seem some upper leaves that look suspicious too.

We just checked again. It’s getting worse.

It is getting worse. I just posted an updated picture above

I see it now. I thought that was a refection in the other picture. Not really sure :thinking:

I’m just guessing here, but I’d start by checking ph.

What soil and nutes are you using?

Definitely weird looking, can you give us more information? You said you switched to 12/12 but you are outside?

What water feeding practices have you been using?

Are you monitoring ph and ppm?

Have you made any big changes recently?

Happy frog. I just added some Flowering nutes from ILGM

Hi. So we’ve been bringing it inside into a dark utility closet 9pm and bring it back outside 9am.

I haven’t monitored ppm at all but ph is at around 6.0

Okay, how are you measuring a ph of 6.0? Is this the soil or the nutrients?

How much are you feeding? Full strength? Half?

This was the full post I was trying to edit. We gave it 48 hours dark inside a utility closet. Since then we’ve been bringing it inside the utility closet 9pm and bring it back outside 9am.

I haven’t monitored ppm at all but ph is around 6.0

We haven’t given it any nutes since it was in Happy Frog.

We water it once the soil meter reads more dry. That’s usually every other day. We watered right before the 48hr dark, then it rained the day we brought it out which was Sunday. Today we finally added more water and added flowering nutes from ilgm

The soil measurement is 6.0 on those meters that measure soil moisture & ph

Today was our first feed. We pot 1g flower nutrient in 1 L of water and fed it the whole liter

Okay, I wouldn’t trust one of those soil ph meters, they have a tendency of being very inaccurate. I would get one of those digital one, blue labs, Milwaukee, apera make good units.
You will need to ph your nutrient solution to around 6.5 before you feed your plants. (Using ph up/ph down)

You said you are watering daily, how much water are you adding and how big are the pots? Watering daily is not recommended but I also don’t see any signs that’s your problem so I would guess small amounts daily?

We water every other day. Usually a gallon

Sorry I read that wrong. My mistake.

I would highly recommend getting a ph meter and monitoring your feeding ph and checking runoff ph, if your runoff ph is low below 6.3 add some lime to make the soil and plant happy.

Thank you so much

Just to explain, when the ph of the soil is outside of the range of 6.3-6.8 nutrients will become less available to the plant, locking some vital minerals out.
