Watered to often and not enough to saturate the media. Wet and dry spots creating high nutrient spots.Ok then as AM stated your not getting to much run off the plant is holding onto the fluid trapped around the roots still over watered in a way .
You know you might be on to something here. They are all bubble gum, from the same pack of seeds. I cracked them last October, grew out 11, ditched the males and ended up with 5 really strong females. I kept those around until I ran out of space. I took about a dozen clones from each of them, ended up with 70, and ditched those Mothers as I really had nowhere for them and they wouldn't fit in the flower room, would have messed everything else up and I didn't really need them, they served their purpose. A couple of grows later and I was really struggling with heat which was my main motivation for upgrading the lights. I have a really good extraction system but I have to be careful what I do here so I rely on passive air intake which is why I was having heat problems.Ok then as AM stated your not getting to much run off the plant is holding onto the fluid trapped around the roots still over watered in a way .
I didn't see this post from you. It was very late and there were a few others posting and I was struggling to keep up. Thank you for responding. Those pictures look exactly like what I see with my plants. This is a great help, thank you again. I really appreciate all the input this thread has received. I believe my plants are being killed with kindness lol so to speak. I think all of you are on to something and I need to back of and let things dry out and then being again with some clean water to moisturizer the soil properly and then keep a tighter control of the amount of Biobizz Grow I use. I know that stuff is not consistent because of the recent issues I have experienced with dramatically reduced ph caused by the Grow. The last bottle I used didn't cause this problem with the ph.Beginning signs of nitrogen tox. All great info but didn’t see anything about cutting back on the N or nutrients overall. Good luck and happy grows.

Thank you for your input here, you guys have been really helpful. There are a few things I can change right away that may help solve my problems. I am going to rise the LEDs to about 50 cm above the plants but I am also going to turn them up to 100%. If that generates a little more heat it may help evaporate any water stuck around the base of the stems and it may help the plants use up the extra nitrogen I've added. The conditions in there are pretty good and stable so I think I have a little room to adjust the amount of water I can add. I didn't really consider overdosing on ferts, especially nitrogen was the issue as that usually results in burn, which I am also guilty of but thats pretty easy to identify. This "claw" leaf is a new one to me but when you see those photos that were posted here its obviously what's going on, as well as the other issues you guys have mentioned.Watered to often and not enough to saturate the media. Wet and dry spots creating high nutrient spots.
OP overwatering is caused by water to often without letting the media dry. Not watering to much at one time.
Just to clarify; your watering them from the top right?I have most of them stood in those trays. If I made them up a half litre each and watered from the bottom would that be more effective? I have been keeping a tight control on the humidity but I have a little room to move.
Thanks for the quick response.
Yeah. Until now. You can even see the divit in the soil around the stem of the plants were the water is settling in the center around the stem before sinking into to soil and around the edge of the soul is very dry. The guys in this thread nailed it. I am over watering and probably over feeding and at the same time the soil isnt getting enough moisture. I can see the soil in the center is still damp from last watering. The contradictory situation is bizzar but seeing the condition of the leaves , wet around stem yet lightweight pots points to the problem.Just to clarify; your watering them from the top right?
Well, good question. I guess now that my initial problem is resolved I could start to flush them from above in their last week.If you water from the bottom of the pots how do flush out the accumulated salts?
Maybe an or, also but I had set up an rather unique problem for myself from the beginning. I planned to pot up the rooted clones in 5.5 litre pots but the shop didn't have my 40 litres of worm castings so I had to grab 5 litres and I couldn't allow this set back to set everything else back so I grabbed 40 1/4 litre pots and cracked on. I was watering these re-potted clones in a tray and the 40 of them were over growing the space they were in and the flower room was clear and I had the 40 litres of worm castings. I usually put about about 3 litres or so of soil ( Biobizz All mix) into the 5.5 litre pot and then a good handful of worm castings. I put the rooted clone in there and throw another good handful of worm castings in around the roots and then just top up the pot with about a litre of soil.I thought the tips dropping are an indication of calcium imbalance, switching the lights to led might have caused a need for more cal- mag.
Just to add, I can understand how you would come to that conclusion going by those last photos I have posted on this thread. I think what you are looking at is a plant that was suffering, close to death! They had started to yellow from over watering and I really only notice the claw 3 weeks into flower. We are now starting week seven tomorrow.I thought the tips dropping are an indication of calcium imbalance, switching the lights to led might have caused a need for more cal- mag.
