What did i tell you about restarting lol, never say die. I think that after it grows a couple more sets of leaves you would never know that anything was wrong in the first place. Fek it, letter buck!!
lmfao i know eh, here i go with that again , kay im lettin er givvvverrrr!

No way HRH, this is my good friend, i just dont know how to help him. No meatball here, i got his back all the way.
If you are behind him then grasp firmly and help him pull his head out. Lashing out at experienced trying to help shows his infancy in some stage of development. Screw up, get mocked and take it like a man and learn. Or shut up and go home with a $10 gram.

Besides the food too much water, did I mention too much water.

Solving Marijuana Plant Leaf Curl/Cupping Problems

OK rule number #1 when you see this happening is flush with 25% nutrients; use 2 to 3 times the pot size to do this. Flushing means lots of run-off. You use 25% because some elements are not mobile without other elements, so if you have a mag lock up flushing with water won't get the mag out, as it needs nitrogen to be mobile. Your killing your plants with kindness remember they are weeds. Here are more answers for you, you might want to save it for reference later The only time you don't use rule #1 is in the last 2 weeks of flower when bottom leaves stop being used for photosynthesis.
Unless another marijuana grower inspects the damage a true assessment might not be possible. It's hard to tell "exactly" what the culprit is. Unfortunately the “solution” the marijuana grower chooses many times is not the right one.
A misdiagnosis only serves to make matters worse by promoting further decline.
The ultimate and correct solution is in the hands of the marijuana grower.
Here are some common problems when marijuana leaves are curling.

  1. Too much marijuana fertilizer
    The most common cause of marijuana leaf cupping aka leaf margin rolling, leaf margin burn, and leaf tip curl/burn is overzealous use of marijuana plant food. In relationship to factors such as marijuana plant vigour and rate of growth. Leaf burn is often the very first sign of too much marijuana fertilizer.
    A hard, crispy feel to the marijuana leaf frequently occurs as well, as opposed to a soft and cool feel of a happy pot leaf. Back off on the amount and/or frequency of using marijuana fertilizer. Too much marijuana fertilizer can also burn the roots, especially the sensitive root tips, which then creates another set of problems. Note - as soil dries, the concentration of the remaining salts rises further exacerbating the problem.
  2. High Heat
    The marijuana plant is losing water via it’s leaves faster than what can be replaced by the root system. The marijuana leaf responds by leaf margin cupping or rolling up or down (most times up) in order to conserve moisture. A good example is reflected by the appearance of broad-bladed turf grass on a hot summer day, high noon, with low soil moisture levels - the leaf blade will roll upward/inward with the grass taking on a dull, greyish-green appearance. Upon sunrise when moisture levels have returned to normal, the leaf blade will be flat. Lower the heat in the marijuana grow-op and concentrate on developing a large robust root system. An efficient and effective root system will go a long way to prevent heat induced pot leaf desiccation or marijuana leaf margin curling. One short episode of high heat is enough to permanently disable or destroy leaf tissue and cause a general decline in the leaves affected, which often occurs to leaves found at the top of the cannabis plant. The damaged pot leaf (usually) does not fully recover, no matter what you do. Bummer in the summer. One can only look to new growth for indications that the problem has been corrected.
  3. Too much light
    Yes, it’s true, you can give your marijuana plant too much light. Cannabis does not receive full sun from sunrise to sunset in its natural state. It is shaded or given reduced light levels because of adjacent plant material, cloudy conditions, rain, dust, twilight periods in the morning and late afternoon, and light intensity changes caused by a change in the seasons. Too much light mainly serves to bleach out and destroy chlorophyll as opposed to causing marijuana leaf cupping, but it often goes hand-in-hand with high heat for indoor marijuana growers. Turn down the time when the lights on in your marijuana grow room. If you're using a 24 hr cycle, turn it down to 20 hrs. Those on 18 - 6 marijuana growth cycle can turn their lights down two or three hours. Too much light can have many adverse effects on marijuana plants. Concentrate on developing/maintaining an efficient and robust root system.
  4. Over Watering
    For marijuana growers using soil, this practice only serves to weaken the root system by depriving the roots of proper gas exchange. The marijuana plants roots are not getting enough oxygen which creates an anerobic condition inducing root rot and root decline with the end result showing up as leaf stress, stunted growth, and in severe cases, death. Over watering creates a perfect environment for damp-off disease, at, or below the soil line. Many times marijuana growers believe their cannabis plant is not getting enough marijuana fertilizers (which it can't under such adverse conditions), so they add more marijuana fertilizers. Making the problem worst. Not better. Often problem 1 and 4 go together. Too much marijuana fertilizer combined with too much water. Creating plenty of marijuana plant problems.
  5. Not Enough Water
    Not only is the marijuana plant now stressed due to a low supply of adequate moisture, but carbohydrate production has been greatly compromised (screwed up). Step up the watering frequency, and if need be, organic marijuana growers may need to water from the bottom up until moisture levels reach a norm throughout the medium. One of the best methods in determining whether a marijuana plant requires watering is lifting the pots. The pots should be light to lift before a water session. After watering the marijuana plants lift the pots to get an understanding how heavy they've become fully watered. If the pot feels light to the lift - it’s time to water. Don’t wait until the soil pulls away from the side of the pot before watering. And of course, leach, once in a while to get rid of excess salts. These are the five most common problems marijuana growers encounter when growing cannabis. Correcting the problems early will save the marijuana plants, but may reduce overall yield. With practice and experience these problems are easily overcome which will then enable the marijuana grower to produce fantastic marijuana plants. With heavy yields.

roots popping out the bottom does not mean they need more water. It just means the roots are growing. water only when the soil is drying up a bit.

I suggest checking pH of the soil, ph of your water, and the EC \ ppm of your water. Seems that your soil mix may have organic ferts in it (worm casting, compost etc) making it a bit hot for seedlings.

Just makin sure nobody slanders his name, no meatball here :)

thanks dude, will keep in mind. the only reason i started watering more was because my tap root appeared at the bottom of my pot looking for water!! and i cant transplant just yet so i was in a rut.

No prob. If roots are coming out the bottom you need to transplant.. Let the soil dry out some, and put her in some fresh soil, no nutes, give her a good water.. til you get a lil run off and she should be fine. You could even add a lil h2o2 to get a lil extra oxygen to root zone.
edit; just saw where you said you can't transplant yet.. my bad lol

i new the roots were growing, i just figured they would be growing in to nothing and would get damaged! , i will probably repot in a week or so, but untill then , tomorrow ill let them dry out completely. then the day after i will give it an entire flush, have them dry out again the day after that, and be back on a regular waterign schedule probably 1ce avery 48 hours

why can't you transplant NOW ? what are you waiting for ? your pots look really shallow, opposite of what you want.

When i was using soil, i would fill a pot the same size i was growing in fill with dry soil, and when my planted pots felt close to same way i would water.
The problem with a set schedule is they're not gonna use same amount all the time...
The problem with not watering til you get a lil run off- is it tends to cause a build-up of salts in the soil.
The problem with feeling the top of soil to see if it's dry is, that tells you nothing about the actual moisture at the root zone..

Bro, i think theyre right, you may want to repot her, then you can go a while between waterings. She should hold some water for a while. Veg her out and do the LST thing to her again, and ya, slow down with the nutes. From my reading i dont think they need nutes for two weeks and if you have some nutes in the soil already then longer. They should be fine for a while with just water and that should correct the problem. Ah well, growing pains lol
