The plant has seemed to come to a stop in the flowering stage and won’t finish flowering. I cannot tell if I am over-watering or under watering in the very tips of the leaves are burnt. The leaf stems very between standing upright and drooping. The biggest concern I have is that my main big leaves are curling and doing all kinds of different stances Meanwhile my inner leaves in the bud leaves are relatively straight and look healthy.
Strain (type, bag seed): Black widow
Soil in pots, hydroponic, or coco?: Miracle Grow Moisture Control Soil
PH of runoff or solution in reservoir?: N/A
What is strength of nutrient mix? EC, or TDS: N/A
Indoor or outdoor: Indoor
Light system, size?: One 5 inch led lamp one the side of the plant and one 12 inch led panel over top.
Temps day, night: Varies between 70-75
Humidity day, night: Medium
Ventilation system (yes/no, size):No
AC, humidifier, de-humidifier?: AC
Co2 (yes/no):no
the problem is overwatering due to the MG soil, it sounds like it has water retaining crystals/gel in the soil mix and its not draining well. We need some more info for us to help you further.Also do you have any ventilation or exhaust fan set up in your area?

@mountainman1 I have a rotary fan in the room and an a/c unit in the hallway outside the room, I also leave that door open
I know nitrogen toxicity can cause your leaves to claw like that. Also the burnt tips are probably from the time release nutrients in the mg.

So there is some form of air exchange , thats good. I still think its drainage issues with the soil , some companys put water crystals in their mix so that lazy people who forget to water dont kill their houseplants. Its not good for indoor pot growing situations.Are you fertilizing with any nutrients?

@mountainman1 yeah that would make sense lol except with it comes to plant care in the polar opposite of lazy, just aparently to much caring lol. But I have once or twice when the plant was looking down put in a MG general fertilizer spike to pick her back up and it’s worked , although I haven’t done that for a quite a few weeks now
Let her dry out for a bit and see what she looks like. Burnt tips are usually an indication of nutrient burn so I wouldnt feed for a little while either.

@mountainman1 It’s been about 3 days since I’ve watered her so I’ll keep it up, I wasn’t sure if that was the right move or not so thank you. I also transferred her to a bigger pot 2 days ago with dryer soil so hopefully the roots brach out of the clump it was on and breath. It looks like its making some, progress back, it’s slow but there. Thank you

I think the biggest question is how far are you into flower?
Definitely stay away from MG…it’s one of the biggest variable concerns. Just easier to stay away 
…
@FNG101v2 what kind do u recommend?
@Aolelon I’m about 2 or so weeks in maybe almost mid way
The types of soil most use is Fox Farms Happy Frog or Fox Farms Ocean Forest. Happy Frog is a good soil to start new seedlings in. It will not burn the seedlings and drains well. I also add 15 - 25 % perlite to the mix to help cut down watering mistakes. The Ocean Forest is great for cannabis also but is a little “hot” for seedlings and often burns them. That works better when 1/2 and 1/2 with Happy Frog and Ocean Forest for younger plants and OF full strength for the final transplant into the permanent home.
If the leaf tips are burnt, it can mean nutrient burn and/or pH problems. It is very important to keep your pH in range.

Also; the timed release fertilizers can cause issues during flower as the high concentrations can shut down flower production; like getting big dose of P and K at the wrong time will stall them out.
As stated; your main issue is the media you are in now. You can grow good cannabis with it but have to be on your toes to use it. Also; PH gets even more critical in soils not designed for mj.

@TxGrowman has you pretty much all taken care of. I personally just use a basic All purpose soil with no special added stuff in it. Then I use a living soil as my nute mix. There’s thousands of different mediums you can use to grow in. You have to do some research on what style would best suit you.

@Sirsmokes in flower they don’t use nitro as often and that par I. It is looking for Phosphorus and potassium over nitro but it def look to be overwatering like @mountainman1 has pointed out but if it is root bound will give same symptoms how tall is she and what size pots are you in
Well 2 weeks into flower the plant is just beginning to produce buds and start filling out bud sites. Around week 6-7 is when u will notice them fattennup a lot.
I have mine fattening up since week to I am 3 day of week 4 here
