Commonly a sign of over watering. Are you using soil or coco? How often do you water? Do you water to run-off? If so, do you collect the water or let the plant soak It back up?

Over and under watering both look similar.

How hot is it in your tent?

Do you Ph your input water? If so, at what?

Agreed: Overwatering. If your containers are not very well-drained, you might want to tip them to the side, & let any excess run off. I don't think you'll need to look elsewhere (i.e., Nute Burn or anything). The effect was almost immediate, so that's likely what it is. Tackle one problem at a time. I can't see in the photo, but if you're using those canvas Gro-Bags, it's very hard to over-water them to death; they should recover in a day or two, on their own. In the future: Less Is Better. You'll find your plants tolerate a little Dryness, better than too much Wetness.

Let it dry out a bit wait for the leaves to rise up to greet you . Then water . Od .

It depends, the top layer could be getting dry but the bottom still soggy. A good rule of thumb is when the pot weighs half the weight of a fully watered pot, it could use some more water.

How often do you water? Do you water to run-off? If so, do you collect the water or let the plant soak It back up?

The humidity is really low, which should make it drink a little faster, but the temp is low for LED lights, which will make it transpire less.

The color looks good but if you can get some of the test drops to check your input Ph, that may help you in the long run.

Run-off is good. Just be sure to collect it so that it doesn't sit in the pan and the bottom of the roots / pot is sitting in the water.

i raise the pots - either its sitting on an empty pot, or even milk bottle tops, so its lifted off the ground. easy to see the run-off evenly coming out of the bottom of the pot. i aim for up to 20% run off (soil mix).

also, lifting the pot off the ground, i reckon helps aerating the pot better, not sitting in its own wet spot. finally, the ground itself can be either cold or hot, but it's all maybe plain superstitions.

also, when i do water individual plants, its run-off doesn't wet the bottoms of the other pots.

what temps are u growing in exactly. roots don't like cold on indoor grows. and it wouldn't hurt to check the look of ur roots too. often time what is above ground will still look ok while our roots are not healthy as they should be. this is often taken for granted because of the above ground growth which can be deceiving based on the strain and the growers experience.

i ran into cold issues before my last run and it really hurt the plants growth in multiple ways. i'll never grow cold again lol.

This morning leaves were uncurled tips still bent.... Possible nitrate toxicity?

They look good for now. Not concerned about the nitrate, just focused on watering at the proper time to keep the leaves looking happy as they are now.

And do u think it would be safe to use nutes again or should I hold off still
