My leaves are curling down & in. Theres no discolor (yellow leaves). I'm not sure if its a difficiency problem or an environmental issue since its only happening to 2 of my 6 plants. I thinks whatever this problem is, its stunned my 2 plants bcuz the white hairs have turned a little brown. Im only 16 days into flower. Please help.
 
too much water maybe? nutrient lockout? I would flush them... when was the last time you flushed them with ph'd water? flushing solves a lot of MY problems... but lets see what others say. pictures would be great.

I had just given them bushmaster, i know im suppose to give them ph'd water for at least 4 feedings after & i did the 1st. ph at 6.0, the very next day the problem started. i believe i did everything the same as my other 4 but for some reason these 2 are the only ones that i had problems with. not sure if i gave them too much water? i cant see how it could be nutrient lock out if they were fine before i gave them ph'd water. i will provide pics asap my lights are currently off.

that's the claw

a common symptom of overfeeding, but if you're sure that ain't it, there are other causes. Any cause is related to a reduced ability by the plant to uptake water. High humidity in the grow room? This is the hydro sub-forum, so depending on your system - a high res. temp. (thus dissolved oxygen limited)?

Looks like ph fluctuations, I know mine respond similarly when the ph swings quickly

that may be, but it has happened, in fact is happening to one plant in my all-coco grows at this moment and the pH of the coco solution sure as heck isn't moving. I can't figure out why this one seedling is literally being a bitch, while the rest are loving life. So I heavy fed (mucho runoff) with seaweed (5 ml per gallon) water only for two days and the new top growth looks good to go.

thanks to the both of you, i have communicated to several sources my problem & they too feel i have overfed them.. i have also been told before rapid ph changes can also affect my ladies as well.

i have flushed them out with ph'd RO water at 5.7, & i used a flushing solution called clearex 15ml per gal, i'll let you know what happens in a few days... when i tested the ph water after it drained from the bottom the ph was 6.1 & ppms at 1220 (this is after i flushed each pot 3 times)

Actually, what you see there is a well known side effect of pushing the BushMaster too much. Your plants will be fine, but make a note to back off the BM dosing next time. Remember: less is more!

any bugs on the undersides of the rust? on leaves. Fuzzy pic hate for it to be mite

looks like mild nute burn but your onto it as for the so called claw in your case it looks fert induced, biggest fan leaves first if nute stayed strong they would have burned. Remember that EC level and stay well below.

I find Dropping the ec vs flushing then back to full/heavy strength feeds is the better way to go, although a once off flush will clean up any salts built up in the soil/coco/clay quite well.

no mites im sure now i over fed them, i found that bushmaster is known to have this affect if not used properly
