Leaves curl

I'm having a problem with all my plants. They are all showing the same symptoms. I have 4 month old plants all have curling leaves. It's only on the top. Mostly new growth.The new shoots look like there deficient and very slow growing. I'm using budswell super tea. I give them calmag, budswell super tea and voodoo juice.They are in 2 gallon pots in promix amended with perlite. I'm thinking it's my water. I live in a city and the water smells like pool water. I bubble it for a few hours before watering with it. I store it in plastic bottles. 1/2 gallon Gatorade bottles to be exact. I wanna give them a shot of hygrozyme but that will kill the organics in the super tea. Will city water cause my leaves to react. I'm at a loss now and I'm not sure which way to fix this. Ph going in is 6-6.5. Ph run off seems to be 6-6.5. Wtf could cause all plants to do this???

city water fine when set out for a bit.
my leaves curl when its hot, or when I overfeed nitrogen too.
try plain water mate, it does wonders for ill plants. resume feeding only after health improves.
I never fixed an issue here with the addition of anything except water.
4 month old plant? in flower?/ in veg? how long in flower?

No. Sorry for not clarifying that CHEMPH.. Four 1 month old. In veg. Transplanted from solo cups into 2 gallon pots.i have been using budswell super compost tea. I give them 10 ml per 1/2 gallon. Suggested feeding is 2-3 tbs per gal so I don't think it's too strong.

try plain water until recovering, , lighten feeding schedule, problem solved,

10 ml is a rough a tablespoon. Have you viewed the pic I posted. ? The lowest set of leaves are turned light green on all. The fan leaves themselves are fine. It seems to just be the new growth that's being affected. The tops of the plants and the leaves feel thick and leather like. Almost like construction paper. It's pissin me off because it's all of them.

Did you add any dry amendments to the ProMix? Teas alone just aren't going to cut it and Promix has next to zero nutes in it.

Get something like Espoma Plant Tone or Garden Tone, a dry all puropse organic fertilizer or something similar and top dress it and just plain water for a couple of weeks at least.

I agree those plants look like there being kept wet constantly....this could be for a few reasons....most common would be because your watering them to often....second reason would be because your soil isn't draining good and or doesn't have enough perlite in it.....remember that MJ plants actually like a bit of a dry spell between waterings...and it's good for the roots.....also if your in decent soil you have no reason to be messing with your PH....decent soil will ph buffer all by itself......So, imvho it looks like your plants are way overwatered ....I'd almost bet your soil is staying wet far to long....you'd be amazed at how much perlite you can add to even store bought MJ soils for better drainage and overall results.....I like a very light fluffy/airy soil ....I add lots of perlite to brand new soil...wether it be FFOF,R.O.707 even my seed starter soils ....having your plants sitting in wet soil 24/7 will cause distorted slow growth with twisted/curling leafs......let those plants dry out thoroughly before you add anymore water...... I actually wait for my plants to wilt a bit before I water ....especially when I'm dialing in my watering schedule during vegg....GL


Definately let them dry out and I suggest you add more perlite if you plan on repotting again((lots more)) as far as the city water goes....it's better to let it sit a few days so the chlorine evaporates....but I water straight from the hose quite often and don't have any issues.
