KodamaFarmastarted grow question 20d ago
3 days ago the Tips of the leaves, were Curling upwards and they still are Like that. Can this be a nutritional overflow? I meassured my EC and IT was at 1850 with the 5ml/L hesi Bio bloom. I give nutrients with every watering. Should i reduce the nutrients a bit to like 4ml/L?

Hey 👋 I guess you have two issues here. Firstly you are feeding too much. Most probably it’s nitrogen according to the color of your leaves. No visible burn so far, but too much nitrogen slows down your growth, so just reduce the grow fertilization. Secon is the light. If your leaves curl upwards it’s most probably caused by lightstress. Just hang lights a little higher, or reduce the strength. It should be around 40cm above the top of your plant. Hope this helps 👊🍀🖖

When you see symptoms you want to adjust your formula selectively rather than reducing the spectrum of nutrients. This is likely being slightly overfed Nitrogen, so you want to reduce nitrogen while limiting the impact on other nutrients as best you can. This is where tracking how you have fed can help inform on how drastically you have to react. If you have consistently given the same amount of N and it has taken a long time to show dark leaves and initial signs of curling, then you only need a small adjustment down for N ... stick to that new level on the next grow cycle and avoid the initial toxicity altogether more times than not. that light mix may have an initial charge, but before long you are providing 100% of nutrients. Treat it like a soilless context. If not giving 10% runoff, that may be the problem - if the EC has been rising over time, that is very likely the problem. The resting concentration of the medium does not have to your exact formula.. they key is that it stays consistent over time. that is what the 10% runoff ensures. This eliminates any cause of symptomsm related to buildup - it's 100% about the ratio and concentration of what you dump into it... you simply adjust the formula and the medium will transition proportionally to new formula very quickly.

Tips creeping upwards across the margins is always a cooling related issue. Or rather she is running out/low on water at some point. Near the end of a long day of high light and temps she begins to conserve water as roots sense moisture levels once they get low the plant no longer has the water supply to maintain the cooling of the heat from photosynthesis. Plant slowly starts to sacrifice the least important parts of the leaf. Which is the tips. This tells me the plant is dictating damage control.
