Hello, I’m in the middle of my first grow and I’m seeing some curling of the fan leaves in some of my plants and I feel they are trying to tell me something but I have no clue what. I would appreciate any advice in looking into what I could be doing wrong, details below.

  • Plants came from clones 7 weeks ago.
  • 3 gallon pots, watering once per day around noon maybe .6l per plant.
  • Growing in a 3 x 3 tent.
  • The plants have had WPM on and off, I’ve been treating with diluted H2O2 and plant therapy they are not showing an
  • Light schedule, currently around 300 watts from the wall and 18-6.
  • They started in ocean forest, then I have been trying to ramp up the nutrients and cal mag over the last 3 weeks.
  • Currently feeding 6mg A+B and 6mg Cal Mag per plant.
  • The curling seems to occur after I give them nutrients, like they don’t like being fed but I’m not sure.16A1FAA9-D49F-4BB9-847E-BFDEFC36A0AA.jpeg68D8EBEB-29FF-48A7-854F-DBBC8FC0D469.jpeg
 
Don't water plants in soil every day, they need a thorough watering and then a dry period to promote healthy root growth.
It doesn't matter how much you water at one time, soil can hold only what it can hold, the rest drains out. But then you must wait until the plant drains the soil dry before rewatering.
Not really sure why this italicited lol

okay, this is solid advice. Maybe I have not been letting the plants dry out enough before watering them. I have just been checking the first inch of dirt to see if it’s completely dry, and it seemed this was everyday but maybe I am not checking deep enough. TY.

Try cutting nutes back on next feeding, but give ph'd water only for a watering or two, see how they react.

Thanks, any advice on how often I should start giving nutes? I was trying to do a small dose every other day and try to ramp up to a full dose, but it seems that’s too much. Should I try a half dose once a week and see how they look? Then ramp up the next week?

Yeah I think the enviro was off when they were young, too hot during the day and too humid at night. I think I have the environment setup better now, 68-78 and 40-55% humidity. Or do you think the stems are dark because of the nutes? The newer growth looks more green.

thanks for the help.

Calmag can often have nitrogen as well, so cut that out for sure. It's thrown around like a cure all lol.
Go with 1/4 of what the manufacturer calls for to start, see how they react.
Try using a feed, water or a feed, water water schedule. Always ph feed to 6.5 or so....water should be OK unless seriously out of whack.
Ensure a good watering schedule, as in wet/dry( or maybe it should be said when plants asks for it).
Remember, most times, in soil less can be more.
Good luck.

I don't know, was just an observation, at a guess I would say too much everything going on and I would say listen to what everyone else has said
