So I have a bit of clawing. Mostly on the darker, larger, older leaves. I read it can be too much heat or nitrogen. What is the cure for this other than just cut back on N. Other than N they're in ocean fox farm. Been in that soil for a while now. Just started clawing a couple days ago. Only thing that has changed is they're now in a grow tent. T5 is about 2ft away.

Might be the watering schedule their environment has changed try letting them dry out a little. Or it could be just the change in lighting

@dnewsome2 ok cool. I didn't think I was giving too much N. Might be what you're thinking. Thanks for the info. I'll let them dry out a bit.

If you just put them under those t5s it might have shocked them just a little. They should get used to it pretty quick.

@dnewsome2 I'm betting you're right. Between the lights and the tent they had a lot change at once.

More info on your grow will help. How hot is it in there? Do you water too much or too little? What nutrients are you using? Are they on schedule or have they stressed out at all? These few things can turn your plants sideways if not in the right.

@Smerb I water them about every 4 days or so. Only nutrients are Cal mag and nitrogen. The only things that has changed is lighting and now in a grow tent. T5s for lighting.

I can say one thing It seems like your not following any feed chart with just the calmag and N. That is one thing growers miss, a feeding chart or schedule and how much to use. I'd love to help you get things dialed in.

@Smerb you are 100 % correct. I don't have a schedule. I don't have an exact amount that I feed them. I just water when they seem dry to not over water. I do measure out nutes when I mix them but I don't have a set amount of water that I give them.

Do you have a 5 gallon bucket? That's your bucket o water to add your nutrients in. Whatever nutrients you are using that company will have a feeding chart.
You don't want to feed a flowering plant the "veg" nutrients. Details would be awesome.

Why are you using calmag? Is your source water RO or purified water.?

@Smerb I usually mix my nutes in different containers 1 gallon at a time. The only thing I give my vegging plants are cal mag and nitrogen. The one plant I have in flower right now gets big bud blooming nutes.

@jumpincactus I use cal mag because I can't remember what issue I had and that was recommended. On the water, I use filtered water out of the tap. My ph is about 6.5 to 7. These are all in veg at the moment. They didn't start curling until in the tent. The temp is about 75ish.
