starting from the beginning, and hopefully giving enough info, i recently purchased a couple clones from a friend. I was planning on growing my blue widow seeds but the clones were available that day, so i took them. When delivering the clones, he also brought one of his mother plants, and since i just finished my autos and my flower room was empty, i snagged it as well. The mother was a lemon skunk, a sativa dominant plant
Upon getting them i saw the mother was root bound and transplanted immediately, and nuted with fox farm nutrients. Then, with no room in my veg room, i threw it under my 400watt hps in a 12/12 cycle. within a day the leaves began to droop and slowly curl under like a claw. i thought maybe the hps was too low so i moved it from 12'' to about 18-22''. it may be my imagination but it seems like the lower leaves have gotten better, but the top leaves are still curled. The temp is between 72-75 degrees and the humidity is between 35-40. its in a closet, with the door open. it has a box fan, on the floor, blowing cold air into the closet and a clip fan, about 4' up, blowing directly on the bulb to lower temps/blow hot air out of the closet.
Now i've heard the curling of the leaves is actually common in sativa's. But i also know this is a sign of nitrogen def. so my question is what should i do? i dont want to be that person who freaks out and starts doing everything to the plant and end up making things worse. id rather ask opinions before i take any action and potentially further harm the plant. I know this thing may just possibly be in shock from transplant and the change of light spectrum and intensity. im also thinking i may have jumped the gun on the nutes, but i thought having them might help sustain it during its transition, but this may have in fact helped with the curling... so all in all... what do some of u think? should i just ride it out the next week, feeding straight water and see what happens? a response would be super appreciated, and i can supply pics if needed.. im just not going to waste my time doing so if nobody ends up responding. thank you!!
