    I've got 4 plants going and 2 (which appear to be a different strain) have started curling up and turning darkish and look terrible. I have flushed 3 times now (2 days apart). The other strain is doing great, which I believe in NL. This could be diesel or some blueberry cross, not sure. All bagseed.

    Any idea what this could be. I thought it might be heat stress so the lights have been moved away, but it's gotten worse since then. Thought humidity, but that's been adjusted and it's around 32-41% now...

    Any ideas?

  2. Check out the stickies there are a bunch of charts talking about the causes of leaves curling up or down.
     
  3. Its looks like either a magnesium or zinc deficiency, or Ph fluctuation. Your Ph sounds like it has been relatively stable, and you have already flushed, so good there. Try adding a 1/2 teaspoon per gallon of epsom salts next time you water. The epsom salts will help bump up the magnesium levels, and may bring it out of a lockup. Keep an eye on the Ph, because magnesium and zinc deficiencies often occur together due to Ph that gets too high.
