How does “the claw” affect quality

Just a topic I’m interested in hearing if anyone has had experience with. I know when people think of their leaves clawing they think of too much nitrogen which often times is true but another common cause is watering too frequently and not letting your soil dry out. I have 1 plant in my garden showing slight signs of clawing due to watering too frequent, has anyone experienced a significant or any loss of either yield/terps/potency from this?

Stop watering too frequently.

Bad habit ... excessive watering stifles roots and oxygen exchange ..

I know this, It was a mistake made on one of my plants out of many. I made this post to see how it would affect yield/potency. This is not a habit of mine

Lol did u even read the post

Another sign of clawing is tiredness. At the end of the day I had this plant which would claw - then be stiff as a post after her nap. Sorry for first pic it’s squint.

I believe there is a window of all toxicity’s. Clawing is not an issue - it’s a sign of a little too much N. Now totally banana clawing, dark green leaves, soft growth is going to leave you with a Diminished harvest/quality.

Thanks! I was looking for responses like this. The reason I don’t believe mine is a N issue is because I grow entirely organically with nothing but water and my leaves are on the lighter green side, this issue just came about in week 5 of flower. My clawing is definitely not significant, similar to yours maybe just slightly more

Stop the over watering and your plant should be just fine. Keep over watering and you can get root rot and harvest nothing.

I understand the solution, but the claw does not go away even with correction which is why I was asking what the quality/yield will be like. It is not severe

If you are still in veg then it's a non issue.

Lights off right now but this is the most recent one I have. Just plain PH’d tap water for the entire grow.

Plant looks good, I wouldn't be concerned. Hopefully the nitrogen starts getting exhausted at ripening time.
