Should I be concerned? (leaves curling down)

[Creeptic]

One of my plants leaves are curling down... it is only the smaller leaves protruding through the buds... just wondering if this is something that I should be concerned about and what could be causing it

As you can see in the first pic the leaves are curling down... but u can see from the 2nd pic that the majority of the leaves are normal... this scrog is two plants... the plant in question is on the right (not that u can see a difference from the pic :smile: )

stats:

Strain: Sour Diesel IBL
Lighting: 250w HPS
Medium: Soil
Temps: 80-85 w/ lights on... 75-80 w/ lights off
Humidity: 40-50%
Age: Day 34 of flower
Ferts: Flora Nova Bloom
PH: 5.5-6.0

More than likely a heat issue but most the leaves are fine.[ you wont see any canoe leaves in the lower plant area ] I wouldnt worry about it.

you said that your medium is soil. that does not tell us much. if the medium contains peatmoss or bark (soilless mix) your ph should be around 5.8 if it contains outdoor soil your ph should be higher maybe 6 to 6.5. Check your ph and make sure it has not gotten too low or high. I tried to find out more about your flora nova but it says the ingredient ratios were a trade secret.

its soilless mix so the PH should be about right... i keep it between 5.5-6.0

i have 2 plants (both sour diesel ibl)... and only one of them is doing the curling... im beginning to think that this pheno is just sensitive to the heat because the budsites that are directly under the light seem to be more affected then the buds off to the side... unfortunatly there isnt much i can do about the heat besides getting an aircooled hood or building a cool tube... im looking into making a cool tube right now but i wont be able to get the materials or construct it for at least another week or 2

thanks for the help guys... if you have any other ideas please feel free to share em :smile:

Yep two kinds a heat, ambient and radiant.

Looks fine to me. Alot of varieties will have leaves that point downward, upward, sideways etc. I have a blueberry that does the same thing. Your grow from what I can see looks healthy and vigorous, in my humble opinion.

you may want to keep an eye on the ph level.5.5-6 is great for hydro,but for soil it should be in the 6.5-7 range.it usually takes a few weeks for ph problems to come up.
