    My blue cheese and Blackberry white rhino leaves are curling up a little bit the temperature is from 70 to 79 I'm running 1000 watt ballast with a splitter 2 600 watt bulbs the reflectors about of foot away and I flush my plants about a week or so it's in 3 weeks vegetation so I raised the ppm to 600 do I need to flush again?

    they look fine to me,besides they are fan leaves and will be replace quickly. sometimes over watering them will cause them to curl or sag

    they look too light green, more food! i'd up the ppm a couple hundred. otherwise they look good.

    I got my baby in a2 gallon pot 50 percent perlite and 50 percent Coco the temperature never exceed 79 degrees and I got a 600 watt reflector about a foot and a half maybe 2 feet away from plants I never exceed 200 ppm I don't know what's the problem leaves are curling to tacos and that usually means that is too hot but I don't see but that can be this strain is Girl Scout cookies

    that looks like overwatering to me, which can also lock out nitrogen and cause the light pale green color.

    your welcome

    Thanks but what are you saying stop watering them for a while?

    no, water more lightly.

    those 2 gallon pots the w 50% perlite is not gunna hold a lot of water, id suggest getting those plants on a lighter/more frequent watering cycle. (maybe 1/4 gallon every other day)
    it'l help the plants metabolism too:smoke:

    Yes, just let the soil dry out more. The roots will grow in search of water so if the soil is constantly saturated then the root system wont get as big. you dont want the soil to constantly be wet.

    there is a difference between moist and saturated. the top layer can be dry but the coco down near the bottom will still be moist. if the roots are constantly wet then they are not getting enough oxygen either. The plant will tell you when its thirsty, if you go too long it will look very wilted but they come back very fast (few hours) once you water them again.

    Just wondering if you ever figured out what gsc likes. I am working with her for about a year but i still don't have her completely dialed in. I am going to update my journal today because i am taking a new round of cuts off my gsc.
