Hi guys, first of all apologies for no pics as I'm using iPad and can't put pics up using this device, I'm am approaching 1st week flower and just checked and noticed several plants leaves curling on the end ( Facing down to floor) my feed at present is ( ionic bloom ) and feeding approx every 2-3 days.... I feed on the weights of the pots and also placing finger into soil to check for moisture, the leaves look healthy and no signs of any nute burn etc, any ideals on what this could be would be appreciated.
Leaves curling on end

Hi, as stated above I am very cautious to watering and like I said I always feel the weight of the pots and finger test for moisture before feeding, I have fed them today so I'll keep a eye on them and see if it worsens.. Thanks

You may be feeding too much/too frequently. Leaves that curl under can be a sign of over-fertilization (too much N). I had this problem recently, and it was suggested that I back off on the nute feedings to twice a month, depending upon the needs of the individual plants, of course. I flushed with water (I use RO and so added a little CalMag) for several days (no nutes), and the plants have recovered nicely. Good luck!
Thanks a lot mate I'll give that's go!!!You may be feeding too much/too frequently. Leaves that curl under can be a sign of over-fertilization (too much N).

a ppm meter would let u know whether or not ur over feeding and help u regulate the dosages so u dont get locked out! also if soil try to rinse out the soil with running water until it drips out the bottom, thatll clean the old salty nutes outta the soil also helping u not over nute!

I think your feeding you plants to muchhh, you should only feed them bloom every week.
Hi and thanks very much... I will feed 1xweekly.... If soil is really dry would it hurt to give just water? Another concern I have now is the size of water butt I'm using (100 litre ) once this is filled and correct amount of feeds added this will stay in the butt for several weeks... Does feed die off after a bit of time?
Your help is really appreciated
All my products are from ionic range.... Currently using ionic soil bloom 7ml per litre.... Using 100 litre water butt.
thanks again
