She looks like she is ODing on nitrogen. You shouldnt of been feeding during those 4 weeks at all since you are using a soil that is already hot in nutrients.

So flush your soil with PH 6.5 water and then wait till soil is dry before you water again.

Hi Manny, Welcome to 420magazine. I am no pro and just completed my second grow but from the looks of the pics, your baby looks a little over watered. I know you said the soil feels dry but how does the pot feel? When you pick it up is it light or heavy? And when you water, are you watering til you see run off? I see a little bit of yellowing, not sure if it is from the light or your plant has a little nitrogen deficiency? But here is a few links for you to look at til someone else comes along....

Are the leaf tips curling up? Do the leaves have yellow margins?

You're a girl? Great, we need even more divas around here. There's a few of us here. Did you check the links I provided? What is your ph levels or temps like in your growing area? This has made my leaves bend and twist in the past. Good luck and keep us posted.

I'd take Puffpuff's advice and stop feeding, use plain water till the new grow starts to look normal...

Puffpuff's advice was on the money!!!!! Thanks Puffpuff' an everyone that tried to help me !!!!! !! The reason that i know he`s right, Is cuz all the ladys, that i transplanted in to fox farm ocean spoil an i gave a feeding of grow big an big bloom all at the same time are the one`s that are sick !! !!, I learned not to fully follow the feeding schedule!! an less is more when it comes to feeding an watering !! now the soil is nolonger hot !! its on fire !! i should just call the fire dept to flush them for me!! lol but iam dont sure the ph of the water being used by them is 6.3. an thank you all !!

Hey Manny (or is it Mandy?),

PuffPuff's right on the money!

On another thread about overwatering and overfertilization, someone said,

"Don't love her too much."​

These plants need just a small amount of fertilizer (once a week is enough) and need to dry out between waterings.

QueenTokeLove said you should let the pots dry out until they are easy to lift. When you let the pots dry out, oxygen can reach the roots. Without oxygen, the roots will start to die.

So, with a pot the size you're using, watering once every 2 - 3 days should be fine. When you see curling under like that, it means you're overwatering (it can also be a sign of underwatering, but not in your case!).

If you haven't flushed her yet, follow PuffPuff's advice and use 2 - 3 times the pot's volume. After you've flushed her, water with 1/2 strength nutrient mix and don't water again until the pot feels light. You should almost be able to lift the pot by one edge using two fingers.

You can also add 1 tsp per gallon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to the 1/2 strength fertilzer solution. Hydrogen peroxide slowly releases oxygen into the soil, which is what the roots need. You can use this mild hydrogen peroxide bath any time you want. It's basically a way of adding oxygen to the water, like the way that an aerator does in a fish tank.
