[Guest]

hi everyone 1 of my plants has leafs curling down is this a problem???
i am growing in hydro..ec 0.8..ph 5.5 to ph 6.1..three part nutrients...pic below...cheers alza..

Can you "push" the fingers on the leaves..upward / downward?
I had that too on my Nirvana Snow White plant, the plant was healthy and had no problems except those strange leaves..Maybe genetics? I might be wrong though

Heat ?

Give it time...if they leaf does not change its color or break when you bend it, everything should be fine. When did you first notice this ?

hi alza, your leaves are most likely looking weird because of a problem in the leaves transpiration.
There are several reasons why a plant cannot transpire optimally and reasons include:

low humidity
high humidity
no airflow
very fast airflow directly onto leaves
and high heat

Other reasons for a leaf curling could be overfertilizing(especially N) and finally but very unlikely it could just simply be down to genetics.

I'm guessing in your case it is lack of airflow?

Although this has got nothing to do with your leaves I just want to point out putting 4 plants in one pot is extremely bad, the roots of the plants start fighting for nutrients and its the strongest genetics that will win. On top of that, the pot you have now is too small for 1 plant, let alone 4...

pot size is ok

pot size is ok

hi blackmelo thanx for the reply.some of the info you gave me i will take on board..as for the system not big enough for 1 or 4 plants, i agree a bit, this system was built for 1-3 plants per system.. here are some pics first three pics are from last grow.....









i think the pic prove you can grow 1-3 plants per system

 

[Blackmelo]

lol yeah I'm impressed, that is some plant.

Or did u say it was 3?

Well I still reckon yield could be bigger with separate pots..
