Ok i know how important pics are but i've lost my camera some how.. going to borrow one today. ( i hope). So i'll try to post pics later today.
heres the problem with the first plant.. Plant 1- This plant is in veg or reveg. i harvested it a few weeks ago and its been doing good untill today i noticed the leaves are turning dark green almost blackish and are really brittel, they feel almost like paper and crisp when you bend them.
im sure is a nute problem like a mag dif or something any advise would be great..


Plant 2- This plant is one week into flowering along with 3 more this is the only one doing this. the new growth on the top is starting to cup under they are curled under from the center vein in each leaf.. older leaves seem fine. its just effecting new growth or so far thats all. My first thought was over watering, so i let it dry out untill i could tell it needed water and still no change in the leaves that are curled.. theres no yellowing or discoloration on any leaves that are effected. Any advise would be great.

I'll try to get another camera today and post pics tonight.. Thanks for the help.



Oh heres some info on plants

both in local nursery soil (no time released food) 2 gallon pots
nutes- plant 1- 5-5-5 once a week
plant 2- bloom buster 1/2 normal dose once a week

lights- plant 1- 5 four foot t8's 3 cool 2 warm about 4 inches away 24/0

plant 2- 10 cfls 3 42watt 7 23watt 2700k 12/12

gonna try the cabbage ph test today. the one i bought sucks. the cheap walmart two prong tester for ph and fertility.. waste of money imo.

Again thanks for any advise.

Just remembered plant 2 was transplanted two weeks ago from a smaller pot.
 
Wassup Slowmo,
I really wish i had some pictures to go off, They speak a thousand word's brother, but i will do the best i can to still help out. I think on your first plant you have a phosphorus deficiency, signs of a phosphorus deficiency are 1) stunted and very slow-growth plants. 2)dark bluish-green leaves, often with dark blotches. 3)plants are small overall. 4) when blotches overcome the leaf stem, the leaf turns bronzish purple, contorts and drops. You can treat this deficiency by watering with a mild nutrient formula, add at normal strength, this should give the plant what it wants. Also i was thinking about your feeding program, if i were you i would water 3 times a week,with fertilizer twice a week followed by plain water at the end of your week. As far as your 2nd plant goes, it could be stress induced by the transplant but this usually only lasts about a week unless you lost a big portion of roots during its move, then that could coast you weeks of recovery. Try and send a pic tho so i can pinpoint the exact problem. Peace and Love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i been trying to find my camera all day. the first plant just got transplanted about 30 mins ago. it needed it anyway. the 2nd plant was root bound when i transplanted so all the dirt in the first pot came out with the plant didn't damage the roots very much at all i hope. as for my watering and feeding if i watered anymore the soil would be wet all the time. on plant one its the same way i watered and feed the whole time it was in veg the first time and when i flowered it last time. also its the way i feed and water all my other plants and they are doing fine. im going to wait a few more days on plant 2 and see what happens gonna try to get my temp down. thanks i'll try to get some pics up as soon as i find my camera
 
ok. i made a mistake plant 1 was still in MG. I didn't mark the pot because it was almost done flowering when i stopped using MG. So i think i figured out that plant 1 has several nute deficiencies due to over dose of N in the MG soil. I transplanted it watered it and it seems to be ok today(its not dead).

As for plant 2 i think its heat stress. Its a little bit taller than the rest so its closer to the lights. I ajusted the lights above it and gave it a shot of water. Now all i can do is wait.

Thanks for the input Roken. Sorry for the misinformation. If i don't mark things i forget everything. This one sliped throw the cracks.
 
Wassup slowmo,
Glad to hear thing's are getting better. As far as heat stress goes, i like to use silica blast by botanicare. Silica blast helps strengthen the plants immune system and helps protect it from drought and heat stress. It also increases your yeilds by 6%:), not much but us growers will take what we can get!. By the way, i like the joint comment, made me laugh. Keep us posted on the grow brother, will do what we can! Peace and Love!!!!
