I have noticed my plant curling under at the tips with no yellowing and cheaked everything i.e PH, Tried lowering and raising the nute leval, temps and all seam fine the only thing i can think is the roots that have grown into the tank and fully submurged are giving the plant to much water thus causing this leaf curl that just wont go away!!!

Any help on this bloody problem would be well apprecated as its driving me mad!!

Sorry Judging by your lack of brain power i better explain:

A pseudonym (literally, "false name") is a name that a person (or, sometimes, a group) assumes for a particular purpose and that differs from his or her original ...

Are you using Aero? Is the reservoir aerated? If you are using a Stinkbud style system ya get those roots out of there, the nute level is too high for a dwc for the roots they will burn. I cut mine, and no adverse effects, or I will tuck them back in the rails. Either way plants don't seem to respond negatively.

I run air stones in all my stinkbud res's now, and it helps keep it aerated and also help keep nutes mixing up. I still clip those roots though.

no i am using a small gt250 nft table and yes the tank is aerated. I shall get the roots out asap because i realy cant think what else could be causing this leaf curling issue?

Cheers for the reply r1tony
