    HELP! New Grower Plant Issues Leaves turning Inward

    HI,

    For a couple of weeks we had steady growth with healthy leaves on the plant in pics. Suddenly the leaves started to curl down and the top leaves started to curl inwards. We used Happy Frog as the soil. We were watering with nutrients from General Hydroponics using all three (Bloom, Micro and Grow) following half the dosage on the back. 1/2 tsp vs 1 tsp per gallon when we got to vegetative state. ph is 6.86 Plants are in a grow 2x2x4 tent with temp maintained at 77-78 and humidity between 45-50. The lighting is an LED Spyderfarm 2 ft above the plant. And in 5 gallon cloth pot. We are stumped. We thought it could be high nitrogen due to the Happy Frog. We did a 1/2 gallon ph balanced watering 2x, no nutrients and they seemed a little better. We added nutrients the day before yesterday and today they are turning down again. Should we suspend with the nutrients or is this a different problem? Thanks!

    Are you watering too much? not enough? When you mix your solution are you checking the ph ? The brown spots maybe calcium deficiency do you use cal mag with your watering? Any pests that you can see 👀

      Maybe it's my screen. Picture three looks like it is covered with WPM.

        Have you been feeding them since they were seedlings? Happy frog should be water only for 3-4 weeks

          I did not think plants in soil need to be feed nutes with every watering, unlike using coco where they do require fertigation every time, some exceptions.

            Thanks for this info. We did a deeper look at the plants and found evidence of spider mites. We are treating with Growers Ally Spider Mite Control. Also have stopped watering with nutrients. Water is ph balanced to 6.86 consistently. We haven't added cal mag yet as the dark spots could be the mites.

              Eerrk... The silver lining is your plants are still young. Keep an eye on your soil. Fans go a long way in keeping bug issues down.

                Veg PH 6.2 - 6.5, in soil
                Flower PH 6.5 - 6.8, in soil
                Good luck!
