Tips Of Leaves Are Curling Down

[GorillaCloset]

Hey all. I'm new to growing. Just like the titles says, the tips of my leaves are curling down. I'm in the 4th week of veg. I run a 48" 6x54w bulbs 65k 18 hours a day. The light is approximately a foot from the top of the canopy. I use the GH Micro, Bloom, Grow and Diamond Nectar. I've been going by the scheduled dosage approximate 50-75% of recommended dosage for week 4 of veg growth. I water nutes twice and regular RO water twice a week. I hardly get any water if any in my drip pans. I don't think the water is draining properly. I mixed 10-15% perlite with my soil.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The light might be to close but i dought it.I lean more toward overfert Drainage broblem as you mentioned.But there are very few from what i see.They look healthy.Let go just fix drainage problem .Maybe raise lights a inch.

Over fert. Leaf curled tips is first sign of Nitrogen toxicity.

I would think the plant would be much darker if it was a nitrogen toxicity. The only times it occured to me the plant was much darker in color befor it started clawing bad. Im going to say overwatering/ drainage is most likely the culprit. Also its called clawing when the leaves curl down like that and there are several reason why it happens.

Yup. Just a touch too much. Not bad at all yet.

OP, stay at your current feed strength for a bit. As the plant gets bigger it will be able to handle more nutes. Give it a while before increasing your feed strength further. That leaf won’t come back, your looking to make sure more don’t start pointing down. I don’t think it’s anything to get overly excited about yet.
