i got this killer clone which is supposed to be lemon thai x haze from a club up here in norcal. i really Love this plant except for its tendency to attract mites (only plant that does in my room)

Ok anyways heres a pic of what a lot of the leaves are doing, mostly just the ones on the top. The plant is Really healthy tho. Just odd looking, i think it looks really cool actually, wondering if anyone has seen this before?

This girl is a beast and have fed it rather heavily but not excessively
base is fox farm tiger bloom
and i add silica blast -botanical
carbo load - advanced
good karma - botan
honey - humboldt

later will use gravity, top booster

-Thinking about --- Any thoughts on this?? using dry kool bloom (just at very end, dont want hermies) and snow storm ultra by humboldt county

i had the exact same thing happen. i called it the claw, was from over nuting/watering,

here was the response i got to the same question


researchkitty posted this answer. credit where its due and all that.
The claw is not 100% reversable, but its fixable. Despite your watering schedule, I still know your overwatering them. The foliar spray adds nutrients, and lets the plant take up less water. Ergo, your watering schedule is fine but your foliar is way too often.

Foliar spray at NIGHT, just before the lights go out. Once a day, no more. And use a foliar spray, not watered down nutrient solution. Plants dont absorb all the regular nutrients through foliar, only a select few are recommended and necessary.

http://www.humboldtnutrients.com/fee...foliar-charts/ <-- that is Humboldt Nutirents foliar spray chart. Theres also premixed foliar sprays most hydro shops sell. Any of them is fine.

Suggestions: Fix your foliar schedule and spray. Spray at lights out, once a day. Continue your normal watering schedule, since your foliar is fixed. Doing this will reverse the clawing, but it will only do it over a few weeks. You look for NEW growth to not have claws. Then you know its fixed. New growth is the most important aspect to watch for, dwelling on the older leaves that cant really just pop back into place now that they've grown a different shape will just make your head ache. New growth is what you want to watch.

Good lucK!!

hey thanks for the help. i guess i am using too many nutrients, because i am not doing a foliar spray at all. the honey humboldt product is just like molasses and i just mix it with everything else. i have only foliar sprayed once and it was while they were vegging and it was a nitrogen spray. also when i referenced the snow storm ultra i meant i was thinking about using it but have not yet. and was just going to mix that with my feed water as well. thanks for the pics though, they look exactly the same as what mine are doing. i dont think it is from overwatering because i have good drainage and it is only a few leaves that are curled when in the past it would be more of the entire plant being droopy if over overwatered, i am not really sure about that. they are in soil bags so if they are being overwatered it could be from putting them back inito trays too early. thanks again

^I agree, but also wanted to add that some strains are sensitive to low humidity and too much air blowing on them. It can give them wind burn, sucking the moisture out of the leaves, which looks like that. Just another possibility. :)

wow, guys mine are doing that too. i have aero kits in rubbermaids with 15min spraying on/15min off, it is doing it it my veg room.(18/6) i am running a t5(8bulb 4ft 40k lumen) & a t5(6bulb 4ft 30k lumen). i am running all botaicare neuts, except Great White & occasional cannazyme. i have been gettin the ph under control (usually 5.8) and i monitor the tds regularly. when this started signs of showing on a certain plant i watched it quickly decline in health, i looked under the leaves and looked to have been a small whiteish lil critter crawling around, i was shocked. ive seen spider mites on other people crops a long time ago, and these didnt look like spider mites. I will post pics in a few, im still new to postin stuff on this site. i dont know if the critters have something to do with this claw type symptom.
