Leaves curling under.

[methias]

Hello again,
My turntable grow is working pretty well. Just harvested 5.3 ounces off a strawberry desil that I was forced to take when I saw fungus in the top bud. I lost the whole top (biggest) flower but I caught it early and saved the rest. But that's not why I am seeking information today.

A friend gave me three clones. Two cheese and one blue dream. I put the blue dream in the turntable room and the others in my mini veg box.
They were in 18/6 for a week and on 6/24/18 I put one outside hoping to have her start flowering.

I figured the days were getting shorter and I would let her bud on nature's schedule. I didn't think she would grow into this.

Well now she is starting to bud (in an undersized pot) and the tips of the leaves are curling under.

and the veins of leaves are yellowing like this.

My first thought was too small a pot. But the consensus I'm finding is don't repot while flowering.
Looking for ideas on how to fix this.

Many thanks.

I apologize for the sideways pics. They were correct on my tablet. I don't know how to correct it here.

Hi Methias,

IMHO - it looks like either a PH issue or maybe over fertilised early-on. I'd try just water for a bit and take regular PH readings of your run-off. You want around 6.0-6.5 for a soilless mix, or 6.3-6.8 for soil.

Hope they improve, as they are lovely plants.
Regards,
Iffy

Thanks iffy,
Gonna give it a shot.
Been really anal about the water in PH. 5.5-6.0 but haven't been checking the runoff.
Gonna try water only for a couple of days. Don't think that can hurt, might help.

Looks soil less, I would water with a low EC instead of just water.

Looking pretty good otherwise.

Nothing seemed to work. PH is 6-6.5 (soil).
Runoff was in the low sixes.
Didn't want to repot this late in flower but I lifted her gently and saw this.

It was repot or loose her.

She (and her sister) are both doing well.
Since we're on real time outside I am not sure how long till harvest.
Best guess is four to five weeks to go.


And side by side with her sister ( on the left) who got a new pot before joining her outside two weeks later.


I just hope the stress doesn't make her go hermaphrodite.
I scour her daily for balls but so far,,,,

How far into flower are you?
There is nothing wrong with transplanting while flowering.


You may experience a hickup while the plant grows bigger feet (a few days) but the flowering process shouldn't be halted or reversed to veg.
