Hi folks, I started to use moleasses in my last watering and I used the recommended amount of 1tablespoon/Gallon That was three days ago and I went to check on them tonight and they all looked like they had claws. The leaves were curled inward and cupped a one of the four was a bit lighter in color then normal. They are in their 3rd weekish of flowering. Thanks for any and all help.

I was scheuled to feed them nutes tonight but I chose not to and gave them a heavy watering PH'ed around 6.6. Also to note this is a soil grow

What are your temps???how far is your light??(if your growing indoors)

My camera is gone but I might snap one with the cell fone.

My temp is 80 well ventilated , 1000w HPS in a cool hood 1 1/2 feet above the plants. They have been doing sooo well till now:cuss:

They are looking better now one still looks pretty rough. The heavy watering seemed to help. Am I right to think that I should have skipped giving them nutes this past watering last night? Or should I give them another shot of DNF or just wait till the next watering?

:joint::joint::joint:BTW they all look healthy color wise. The rough one is a bit lighter in color and the other three seem to only be displaying a bit of this "claw" feature Please help I would really like to have a success with these girls!

I can barely tell, but I think it's N toxicity. Are the leaves as well as the veins dark green? Do they feel smooth, heavy, leathery?

If it's not that, then it's the start of a P def. In this case the edges would start to turn brown, something you havn't mentioned, so P def is probably not it.

Either way, it's a nute problem. Flush and wait a week or two. If they get better, it was N toxicity, if they worsen, it's P def and you need to up your nutes.

PS: This has nothing to do with the molasses...

Yeah I would just water for now, they look terribly overfertilized. What is your medium. My plants always LOVE a molasses feeding. But I bubble it into a tea for 24 hour or more.
Molasses feeds the soil microbes that in turn feed the plant. It's like the molasses "lit up" your soil or something. So I was curious what you are growing in.

20% of each. Chicken shit, sand, perlite, vermiculite, topsoil. I vegged these girls for 11 weeks and now they are on there 3rd week of flowering.
