hello fellow rollitupers :]

for the past couple of days the top leaves have been pointing straight up in the air
i have been trying to read up on it
but there really isnt much on the topic

i have read somewhere that this is when the plant is growing the most

can anyone shed any light on this???

and its not curling



temps: 77-82
humidity 31-45%
nutes: AN sensi bloom 2 part
soil: Fox Farm
water ph level 5.9-6.3
light 600 watt 15 inches off tops

my understanding is that this is just a sign of a healthy/happy plant. It is just reaching up towards the light. If you aren't seeing signs of the plant stretching, then I would say nothing is wrong. On the other hand, if it starts to be growing vertically too fast, get the light closer or add some light to the room to keep it from stretching. In my opinion, this is not a problem at all.

i think it happens from underwatering...when u under water salts build up in ur soil that could be harmful to ur plants causing a sulfur defeciency..im not 100% but im pretty sure this is how it happens

They look happy and healthy to me. Have you ever heard the expression, praying for magnesium? If your lower and middle leaves are not developing yellow patches between dark green veins you have no magnesium deficiency.

Again, your plants look great I don't think you have any problems. For the first three weeks of flowering stretching is to be expected.

I have the same problem with one of my plants. It's really wierd looking. The leaves point straight up. I don't wanna post pics up in your thread tho without ur permission. The leaves are shiny too. Which is pretty eeird. And they're like... Jagged looking almost. Hard to explain. It's about 4 weeks into floweing. It was growin sooo sloww. Now that I think of it. It's in week 6 if flowering. Lol. The pistons came out red and pink. You'll have to see pics of it. I think I might have some pics up in my journal. The one that said my first grow. It's towards the end of the thread
