It is folding down along the mid-rib. I know when leaves fold or taco they are trying to restrict transpiration for whatever reasons. I'm in coco/perlite 10 days into flower. Keeping them watered w runoff no dry backs. I'd call this over-watering in a peat based substrate. The runoff ppm and EC are okay. Otherwise no signs of deficiency on this particular table. Environment stable. Ideas, opinions? Maybe I am suffocating the roots and should delete an irrigation event? Thanks RUI

That pile of shit down below in the pic are prunings I am cleaning up from last night when lights went off. Just thought I'd make it known before someone called me out on it . I keep things tidy

It's not all the leaves. The reverse taco'ed ones are peppered in. Green otherwise. I'm curious if I'm drowning my coco? It's not my first rodeo but only second one in coco. First one np at all. 3 gallon pots instead of 2.

This thread I started is kind of pointless. There are only so many things that are going to stress a plant. I think if I went through them a little closer I'm going to find an issue. There's no magic bullets. There's no, this means exactly that. Just some kind of stress to the roots most likely. Feeding or watering is where it's hiding. Now that I burned one I feel foolish for starting this thread!!
✌Everybody!

Once roots are established you can't drown coco.

As soon as they have more than a seedling's root structure. I'm careful with the water until I see roots pop out the side of my 1" Jiffy Pellets then even when I up pot I don't worry about liquid.

The only other time I'm careful is after I pull them from the aerocloner and put them in coco. I go light on them until I see the top dry out.

Okay cool. Other than the reverse taco, I was having issues w the other side of the room too. I couldn't shake the over-watering thing. I started w heavily rooted cuttings that I rooted in 8 oz pouches of coco, then right into one gallon pots and watered carefully for the first week then let it rip. All good till I saw interveinal chlorosis and was like huh?? It wasn't even that bad. Then the Reverse T in the 2 gal mother side.
I gotta get over the over watering thing and stop messing w the frequency and duration of the irrigation.
The reverse taco was a overgrown mother in a 2 gal pot. Established (obviously).
Sry rambling and kinda scattered. You've helped drive that watering nail home ty ☺
This is a used pouch I was talking about hence the heavily rooted reference.16289937874481974243758711779395.jpg

Interveinal chlorosis in the middle of a plant is usually Mg and some Epsom Salt will fix that right up.
