He is right, that plant is being over watered, the leaves are slightly curled a bit.

Need more information about your grow,

what soil mixture is your plant in?
What is the pH of the run off?
What nutrients have you used and how much and how often?
Your plant is most defiantly in a big size pot for the size and this leads to over watering badly due to the root space not taking up most of the pot and leads water sitting in an area where no root mass is.

Its potting mix and yates dynamic lifter(blood meal, kelp, poo, all that sort of stuff) I dont test the ph, I water with fish emulsion and seasol once a week and water with 1:10 piss every second week. Do you think I should put it in a smaller pot?
 
first, check your ph, i'm gonna say that your ph is gonna be way off, second, not sure what you think your getting by putting piss in your water, but last i knew there wasnt anything worth while in it for a plant, third, you need to figure out what the nute ratio is your giving your plant, how much NPK is in your water, if you dont figure that out now, your gonna have alot more problems down the road.

When you get a chance, Stitch took the time to make a form for people to fill out, go ahead and answer some of those questions and your gonna get alot better information from people.

No, do not put it in a smaller pot, would stress it out now and the fact it's in flowering.

How long has the plant been in this mixture? I am sure it needs food by now.....
How much fish emulsion are you using is the question. Looks like your plant is going to be lacking some soon if not already, besides the fact you don't test the pH.

You need to ensure your pH is correct before you fix it, because even if you do give her what she needs, if the pH is off your plant won't be able to absorb it.

It does look like your plant is hungry, but the thing is your overwatering your plant, and when you over water nitrogen gets locked out even if you have it readily in the soil.

How often are you watering your plant and how much?

Its been in there for about 2 months. I dont use too much prob about 5 ml per litre. I wait until the soil is dry 3 inches down and then soak the soil. Would I be able to use a fish tank ph testing kit to test the ph and how should I go about this. Thanx for the help guys. Also If you have any ideas on how to quickly dry the soil thatd be great.

Considering the fact they have been in there that long, I doubt it's a pH problem, but more over they need more food or better food.

You are going to have to wait to feed the plant until the next watering, foliar feeding can do little right now, I personally don't think it works to well with NPK problems.....

You can use pH test strips for pools,spas and fish tanks, but you have to make sure there is a range on there, like 4pH to 8, if it does not have a good range don't get them, it will do no good if you buy ones that do not have a range.
The plants would be showing more problems right now if the pH was off, so I would give them a dose of nitrogen every time you feed your plants.
