Help! Leaves folding down like a upside down taco!

What makes your leaves droop and fold down like a upside down taco. The older leaves are folded but the new ones look OK. I flushed them about 2 weeks ago but they still look wierd. Anyone know whats up?

I have the exact same problem. My large fan leaves showed it first and then some of the younger leaves did the same. They're curling under like a "claw" huh?

Any pics?

Yep! Just like a claw. Its wierd. I thought the flush would fix it but the older leaves are still the same. The new growth looks good but not the old growth!

Nutrient burn... As long as you flushed and the new growth isn't curled under you are on the right track to quick recovery.

I don't understand the reference to an upside down taco tho... It's more like a claw fingernail curling under like the other guy said.

Go much easier on the nutrients next time, you can't force feed a plant all that happens is you burn them and stall growth. Also if you are in pre-nuted soil you shouldn't add nutrients until around 2 months into the grow and then only in smaller doses until you see how the plant reacts.

hmmm yup that could also be a possibility. might wanna give it a thorough flush. are there any other signs of trouble? or its just the droopy leaves and clawing?

did you read this? https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/150004-plant-moisture-stress-symptoms-solutions.html

Its just the claw thing but no visible burn!

i get this when i underwater them or dont fully saturate all the soil....my advice is water them real good then wait 4 days b4 you do it again.....u dont need to water everyday and when you do you need to water them good...then let soil dry out pretty good....then water thoroughly....repeat process....good luck

Could be humidity levels too low. I have the same problem. The winter air is just so dry.

OP hasn’t been seen since 2011.

You are talking to a ghost.

Could be too much light.

This thread is 15 years old and the OP hasn't been seen in 13 years.

I regularly “like” 15 yr old posts just because.
