Tips of Leaves curling down. help!

I have one plant. Mostly 12/12 from seeds apart from a few weeks of veg. Just today i noticed the tips of the leaves curling down like a hook, and i think i might've also seen some lighter discoloration in patches on the leaves not sure (just noticed today and i checked yesterday). Other than that she is a healthy girl starting to bud.

Is there any particular one culprit to this?

As far as temps go, i dont get much ove 79 due to the fact im using cfl's.

I am thinking i am overwatering since last week i started adding some Miracle Grow for roses and i watered a little more. i dunno.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nitrogen claw is what some refer it to. Too much Nitrogen, so flush really good and use water for a while until you see progress. Oh and Miracle Grow will do that to your plants.
 
Well the reason i used the Miracle grow for roses is because thats what i got it. The plant is also in Miracle grow time release soil. but its less than a gallon pot and the has been in that pot since very late November( the bag said three months but i figured theyd be used up since my pot is so big). Should i worry about "releasing nutes" when i try to flush the soil? The soil is a good but i just dont know if that will aggrivate my problem..very frustrating. maybe try to flush and check tomorrow?

Most pre-nuted soils last for 3 months. How much MG are you adding per gallon? Are your plants dark dark green? What is the PH of your water going in and coming out?
 
For the miracle grow roses stuff, i added what they say to say to use for a gallon. about a tablespoon per gallon.

My plant is dark green, as it has been most of the time i have grown it. (This plant has been very healthy most of its life)

As far as ph. on water i let the water sit for several days, so nuetral as can be(Tap water that sits for about 2 days or longer). Going out?

He's talking about runoff in other words the water that comes out the bottom.
 
hmm probably too much then...

( I actually did run an experiment with a fairly young seedling about a week ago. i took the same miracle grow for roses soluble mix, and mixed the same tablespoon in a 20 ounce water bottle. just your normal knockoff walmart brand. Poured the whole thing in there. Did eventually notice a tiny tiny bit of yellow on one of the leaves, but hey its still growing. I actually was trying to kill the plant)

At this point, ive been ok with p.h. but does anyone have any ideas on ways to lower p.h. without the use of lime or sulphur?

do not flush with the time release soil!! I did this on one of my grows and it will only make matters worse. Everytime you water, more of the time release nutes are released, so a flush will NEVER work with this soil. just let your soil get fairly dry and only use water and supplements (no fertilizer) the rest of the grow. That is the problem with MG soil. It has alot of nutrients, but realease them at the wrong times for cannabis. You should be fine, but you don't need anymore nutes then what is in the soil until after the 3 month mark.
 
yea...i flushed them a couple days ago and the problem has actually gotten worse. hopefully in several days it will fix itself
