Leaves are curling down; I am worried since I'm into my second week of flowering.

Over-watering or not, every time I see pics of a plant being grown in MG the leaves look like that. But I have to say it looks like over-watering either way.
I agree. I got those kind of results back when I first started growing and was using miracle gro....but i was also just using bag seed....just like this guy though lol

I'd let them dry out until the container is almost bone dry and very light....then next time you have to water, id water with plain water like 3 or 4 gallons to flush any salts out.

I'm seeing some one and three-leafers, so I'm going to have to say there's more than MG and over-watering messed up here. You have some serious plant stress one way or another.

Have you checked your pH runoff?

Have you had lighting issues? Like the light turning off momentarily and then back on, or switching cycles.

To be honest, I'd replant them into some better soil or you're just going to be chasing your tail the rest of this grow, and you'll probably flower some really horrible plants instead of some really nice ones. Get some better soil, replant, and feed with some b1. You can still turn them around. You have some pretty good branching. Miracle Grow just isn't for indoor pots..

Lighting issues, once or twice the lights went out. So yes. But that was after these weird three and one leaves came out, and I knew there something odd about those growing.

Also, it's 15 days into flowering and I'm seeing some of those white hairs coming out. You really think it is necessary to replant it?:? I do have Fox Farm on the side at the moment. The plant is 26" tall. Pretty big man.

And what is b1?

sorry, I didn't realize it was already flowering. That would depend on how delicate you think you can be ;-) If you think it'll get bumped around too much just keep trying to work with it. But the problem for you is that if the leaves keep looking like that, it will affect yield and quality for sure, so replanting might be the lesser of two evils for you. You'll have to decide for yourself though.

And B1 is just b vitamins. If you're growing with chem nutes their are products like "No Shock" from AN and stuff like that, if you're growing organic-based you'd use a liquid b vitamin supplement like Thrive Alive or something.

If the one and three leavers were already there before the lighting issue, that's probably not it then. Some strains are sensitive to that happening for whatever reason.

The only thing I can see right now without knowing more that would cause the 1 and 3 leavers is some kind of light or heat stress or the soil/nutes. And the drooping leaves could be any or all of soil/nutes/over-watering. Or if could be a shitty clone or seed and you just got unlucky, I suppose that's a possibility as well. I think someone posted on the last page that they ran a strain for a year that did this.
 
Should I just cut those leaves off? Although, I did notice over one week, the leaves would start out as one and then split to three, and then split again to five.

Also, I think you or someone on this thread said to do some pruning/topping. I've read some threads on how to, but I was wondering if there's a simpler way? And if I should even bother since it is flowering.

If she's already flowering it's too late to prune. That's gotta be done before 12/12 preferably. You don't have to cut of any of the leaves, they'll still bring energy to the plant. It's just that the leaves obviously won't bring as much energy to the plant as big 5-9 petal leaves would.

Sorry bro but Im going to throw another in the mix. Leaf curl is an environment problem too hot, too cool, too little or too much water. My bet is @ 85 degrees and 40% RH you have heat stress.
Leaves curl downward/inward to conserve moisture. late developing single & tri leaf arent cause by overwater, they are casued by heat stress due to the plant trying to minimise the hot and dry environment thereby adjusting to cool itself with smaller fan leaves.
either raise your humidity or lower your temps a little you dont need 40 RH early flower in fact not even late flower 60% is best by mine experience and even then i would lower the temps to 70-75. I personally think your plant desperatly needs a water but im also thinking i may have just confused you more ;)
