Lower leaves curl ( veg stage ) WTF ?

I can't quite figure this one out. Plant is VEG stage ( week 3 ) - AUTO MARMALATE on 18/6.
Medium is FFOF .

Top of plant leaves are fine and straight ( no burns or yellow ) but lower leaves have distinct downward curl and yellowing with browning. I can't quite iron out this problem. I just flushed plant with 6.6 PH WATER. it has received a light 1/4 strength feed a week earlier but this just began to get like this a few days ago.

  • Leaves are NOT CRISPY ( soft and pliable )
  • Downward curl on lower leaf sets
  • Yellowing / fading at lower leaves leading to browning
  • Top of plant ok ( no burns or colors ) ONLY lower leaf areas
  • Happened within week of feed ( 1/4 only strength )
  • No additional supplements
FLUSHED TODAY ( water and CALMAG )

So open to ideas and advice .... Thanks

what is your PH going in and whats you runoff PH? your soil is locked out.. plant does seem over watered. remember autoflowers hate water.. They only like very small amounts you give them..

They will fall off in due time. You can even pick them off if u like. Just keep your eyes on new growth, if they look good....then your gal is good.

Thanks , just concerned with such early leaf yellowing. As you can see top / middle looks good just the lower leaves looking shitty.

Thanks KING , if you see my last photo , the top and middle look good , just the lower sets are curled down and yellowing. Not crispy , just yellowing. I did FLUSH yesterday and had a PPM that was off the charts ( it my be that SUPERSOIL mix I'm using ) so as far as feeding I have reserved adding anything right now. So I am hoping I help " clear " some of the heavier nutes out. Thanks

PH IN : 6.6
PH OUT : 6.3 - 6.7
