I'm growing in soil under a 600W Grolux bulb in a 1.2x1.2x2.0M budbox and using the HESI range of nutes.....I dont think i am doing too bad...

Only 1 problem the top half of 2 of my plants leaves are curling downward like claws and folding themselves up...The leaves are really dark green all over but feel a bit brittle to the touch and i dont know whats going on....Any advice??

P.s Sorry about the poor quality pics
Too much nitrogen causes leaves to curl like that, and can make them brittle. How much N are you giving them?

Does supervit have a NPK on it? One site says its 6-2-4, which is what Im basing the rest of my post off of.

I would lay off on the super vit for awhile. It and the bloom nutes is giving you 10N, and that is probably more than your sativa needs. Id give her a week straight of water, and see if she starts to get any better. I dont know if the leaves will ever uncurl though. Just keep an eye on growth that isn't already curling and see if it stays normal.


You know what. Fuck Hesi nutes. I pulled up a PDF of all their products and only the PK booster had a NPK even listed. The rest of the shit doesn't even list one. How the hell are you supposed to know what your giving your plants?

Id still give em water for a week or 10 days and see how if they get any better or no worse.

all the nutes have a NPK value.....TNT complex for vegging is NPK 3+2+3 and 50Mls in 10Ltr water.......Bloom Complex is NPK 4+3+5 and 50Mls in 10 Lts water....... Phos Plus is PK 7+5 and 25Mls in 10 Ltr water, the powerzyme and supervit are EC and PH neutral.....
The supervit is 25 vitiams and amino acids that help the uptake of N so yeah it could quite possible thats the problem.... i will stop supervit and up the amount of water only waterings and see what happens

Nice 1
