HELP! Upper Leaves Drooping & Starting to Curl

[DopeyChick]

My plants upper leaves have started to droop down a bit

Have done a search on here for drooping leaves, curling leaves etc and found a couple of pictures showing the leaves drooping from their base, these aren't doing that, they are drooping from about half-way to the tip

I had it out to water it - it was light & dry but I wouldn't say it was over-dry - and take pictures (which I cant put on just yet because I am on my laptop but will put them on tomorrow - see recent pictures in my gallery) the tips were pointing straight down I then put it back in the grow box and sprayed it with water, when I went back to check it half an hour later and noticed the tips were curling under more!!

Please help!!

Heres the pictures I took last night (1st one taken when out for watering, 2nd one once back in box following spray with water)







Hope its nothing serious - when I checked this morning before the lights went out the top leaves had straightened out a bit - will check again when lights come on later on this afternoon

cud u be rootbound,other then that,cud be the amont of water...need more info....

Looks like rootbound and over watering. The problem is since the plant is very stretchy you can't really tell the "true" height..... so you will need to look at the bottom of the holes to tell how much roots is near the holes of the bottom of the pot......

What lighting are you using and how close is it? Cause that plant is stretched.....

When you transplant I would bury the plant a little deeper to help support the plant a bit....

How often are you watering her? She is overwatered, cannabis likes a good watering and then a little time to dry the roots out.... if you don't give them enough time to dry there roots over watering symptom's will occur......

its just a tad overwatered.
IME rootbound dosent cause that.
whats up with that light? what is it a halogen?

What would it be if this occured in DWC? Just switched to flowering HPS, is it normal for the top leaves to curl down at this point? Light too close? too much nutes? (just lowered from 1300 to 900) PH? (Just bumped it up from 5 to 6)

In DWC you dont really need to worry about the droop caused by watering (like in soil) as the roots are always submerged and getting oxygen.

If the light was too close, or temps too high, the leaves would curl like a taco and not droop.

Nope, when you see droop in DWC 9 times outta 10, it's nute burn. Lower the EC and they should recover within a week or so.

im thinking pots to small and u are ovver watering it.wait till the very bottom of the pot is try.stick a toothpic in there to see if its still moist think most problems start with the same thangs. overwatering is the first thing u look for with most problems. can cause a number of different nutrent lock outs. as well as the water u use.nutes that are used. on the watering thang ive struggles with it. the top have could be dry but the bottom stays soggy boom problems out the a@@. they don't really need that much water untill mid flower they really start to drink.

How long in DWC does it take for the plants to show effects of nutrient changes. For example, I saw early signs of nute burn and reduced them, 24 hrs later the signs of nuteburn are spreading. Does this mean I didnt reduce my nutes enough? or that it just takes a few days for the changes to kick in?

We are about 12" but very bushy as it is kush, is 800ppms still to high?

Should I dump and go just plain water?
