Can anyone help me
This is my first time growing and I currently have cbd crack auto( almost 4 weeks) blue dream auto (4weeks) and purple punch(almost 3 weeks) all from fastbuds

they are under a 250 watt hid light in a 2 by 3 foot room
The problem is that the top leaves of my blue dream and cbd crack have slowed down and are coming out clawed and very thin eventhough bottom growth looks healthy

i havent given them any nutrients yet because my soil is enough for now
Can anyone help me figure out whats causing this ?

Also could nutrients be the problem?
Was planning on starting them tomorrow with sensi bloom

Nitrogen is a bit high, possible low pH, but if your light is too close this too can cause some twisting of all the clumped growth.

Zooming in on your pic, it looks like one of your fans may be developing a little chlorosis (yellowing).

that claw is from nitrogen

Feed them with PH Water until you get runoff and cut back the nutes to 1/2 for 2-3 feedings see how they look before being generous with the grow formula again. Make sure your PH is around 5.8-6.0 and hope you haven't locked out potassium and stunted your babies for a while.

Also make sure you're giving the plants a good dry period between waterings. If you get worried that they might need some, splash the root ball at best. Be sure your soil is drying out or your plants aren't eating or getting enough oxygen to the roots.

The OP already said that he hasn't been feeding any nutes.
Isn't a pH of 5.8 - 6.0 too low for soil?

Honestly I havent given them any nutrients yet
Since my soil was already fertilized

I was going to start them off with sensi bloom tomorrow tho

Looks like LED abuse and a bit too warm or windy.
You are closest I've seen.

OP the plant is trying to avoid the light by rolling over and minimizing its exposure to them by decreasing width.
And that is not clawing as defined by over feeding. Something far worse.

Any one else nervous magnifying these pics? I fear other orientation issues may be a foot due to the stress.

Just my thoughts for all to consider.

They might be doing fine then, water them until you see run off and make sure their drinking it before watering them again. if your soil came fertilized it will be hard to make adjustments without some trial and error but you certainly do have a nitrogen toxicity and that will cause a potassium deficiency if its left untreated and you'll experience overall slow growth and small flowers.

No, that is what I use.

I noticed the nutrient detail a little late and sadly little help to a resolve if the nutrients were off balanced to begin with in the soil.
