Hi guys! My otherwise healthy plant has gotten a few yellow leaves that fell off. They smell nice when i crumble them. However, the almost every leaf on my plant is curled up in one way or another. What should i do? It showed its pistils last week so i really dont want anything to go wrong now. Should i keep feeding it nutrients? The leaves are kind of... folding. Theyre not curling up on the narrow side, theyre curling up on the broad, so they get thin.

Thanks for being around! Got some issues uploading the pictures! Did they change the system or something :P? Trying again. Would love to know wether u think this is a Sativa dom or Indica dom aswell!

Looks like clawing, to much N?

What is your medium and what have you been feeding them?

I havent really fed them that much! I dont remember if they were "clawing" before i did this. I'm using, pinetree bark & compost [Good compost dirt]. They do have too little medium to grow in but since i cant replant during veg,,, i told myself to keep it in the same pot even though its rootbound. It just means i have to water more often. Been feeding them this allround nutrient. Its main is Kalium, Phosphor and Nitrogen along with Bohr, copper, Zink, micro organisms etc. http://www.kcmulch.com/products-page/mulch/pine-bark-soil-conditioner (mine has added nutrients) .-.......................................................................................................Water every 2 days, Light hours is from 10-14 hours as i do the switch manually...............Im using a HPS and the plant is 8 weeks old. It shown its pistils last week... but i flipped the switch 3-4 weeks ago.

look like it might be root bound (need a bigger pot) and/or over watered (no oxygen in the medium, can also be cursed by no drain holes or a too compact grow medium)

but yes do look a bit clawing witch is a sure sign of too much N, but at the same time I see pale green leaves so dunno ?

if it was me, I would get a nice big 3-5 gallon pot, with good drain hole`s and fill it with some good soil with about 20-30% perlite mixed in, Im sure she will thanks you for it

Pine tree bark? I haven't heard of anyone growing in that, but isn't pine acidic loving trees?
whats the pH of that medium? If you have good compost, then adding nutes may be overdoing it.
Who told you that you can't repot during veg? If your plant is root bound, it would be a great
idea to get them into a bigger pot.
Then you say light hours are 10-14, and you do it manually?
Plants tend to prefer a steady schedule, timers are not that expensive, advise getting one.

Hi! I never had the tools to check for PH. I tried buying one of those but it didnt couldnt be shipped to me for some reason. I do have timers but i dont want my light to go on and off automatically as i am concerned about my safety. Might just set my timers up... The plant is in flowering and i read somewhere that it shouldnt be repotted during flowering? Thanks for helping me out :)! Is it a Sativa or Indica dom judging by the leaves?

The plant is about 2,5 times the size of the pot. I really do think i should repot.. however, if i repot the plant will be closer to the light so i would have to find something wide instead of tall. Thanks for your analysis man :)!!! I really needed people to look into this!

So, may i ask.. If i dont do anything about this. Will my plant die? or would it be able to survive? Ofcourse i am going to do something about it but im just wondering how big of a problem this is.

Very little nute burn present, that only leaves the heat, the tin foil is an obvious indicator that your temps are way over the top, keep a temp. gauge in there maintain 70f/25c, install a small fan plants gotta breathe too, just like humans and there skin, .. leaves actually cook, drying out the precious fluid with sugars starving the plant, tho it likes the heat it can't grow once temps get past 85f, for this reason
look to your light distances

Thanks for pointing that out and showing me the distance chart. Maybe i should bend it some... dont know if its too late! I do have a pretty big fan blowing on them. However, i dont know if i should have a passive intake and active outtake or actively blow air on the plants and then let the air find its way out. Temps are high, i can assure you that!

If ur palnt is getting high now what r u gonna do in a month? Do you even have room for budding plants? Better think about canopy control. Pruning, tieing and topping are your best friends now. The claw issue is not a death sentence in your case. It's only just beginning. Leach excess N out with lots of water. Do this about once a week. Cut your nutes back accordingly to keep it from getting worse.
