Ok guys. I know y'all are going to think I am a total dumbass, but I am going to dance around this and try not to look too silly. I think I may have misspoken or misdiagnosed my plant's problems. Wilting is probably not the right word. Yes, it looks wilted, but in retrospect I think the more proper wording would be "curled." The leaves on three of our plants....Lucille, Gladys and Matilda are all curled at the ends. After closely examining them this afternoon (and looking back over all of our photos from seedling to now) these three plants have exhibited some leaf curling on their new leaves previously. Looking at the plants from top to bottom the leaf-curling trait progressively gets better as the leaves mature and is almost non-existent on the big, mature sun leaves.
I think that as the plants change their growth habits from vegetative under the MH light to flowering under the HPS light this characteristic is exaggerated. I will attach a few pics of the plants and you can clearly see what I am talking about.
Here is a shot of Matilda in all her droopy splendor. Have y'all seen this trait in your plants? The leaves aren't wilting, but they damn sure look weird. Let me know.
Here is Lucille....same bullcrap as Matilda with the weird looking leaves. Looks like the talons of some huge raptor fixing to snatch something up. (or maybe I am not altogether sober) lol
Here is a pic of Matilday in her new 5 gal home. I couldn't believe how thick and almost rootbound these plants were in the 3 gal pots in just 37 days. Amazing.
This is Gladys....another confirmed female. These plants overall look healthy. I think I got freaked out because the leaf curling kinda intensified at the same time as our big flush. I don't think it was related, but I kinda knee-jerked.
Have you guys seen this before in your plants? Is this a normal trait under flowering conditions...especially under HPS lighting? Funny that Daisy and Broomhilda aren't doing this, but they are completely different looking plants with more of a compact growth habit.
