Without knowing the details of your grow it looks like toxic salt buildup

1st picture. See how the leaves are so straight up. This has been going on for most of the flower time of this room. I've flushed with ph water, with just dipping water from flooded table and pouring nute solution over top of medium, and taking nute solution from reservoir and pouring over the tops of pots. Nothing seems to make a change. I resigned my self that these plants were just messed up and I would just finish to harvest what I could. Picture 2 is the room (see how most of the plants show this symptom) However, picture 3 shows a plant that doesn't show the same symptom even though it has been there all the time and had the same conditions. Picture 4 is from my other flower room and showing a plant that is showing the same symptom. And this symptom has spread to a lesser degree to about half the plants in this flower room. I am going to harvest soon and am really just seeking insight as to what happened to these plants. Has anyone seen this happen to your plants? Were you able to correct it? The weird thing is that the leaves didn't go spotty or clorotic they just stood upright, are very dark green and feel dry and stiff.
Plants in optimal health also "pray" with their leaves. Some say its a way for the plants lowers to reach more light as well.
We need more info, what strain it is, ect

I grow in coco in smart pots and also in the Botanocare bags. I made a prior thread about this https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=316692
That is what I thought too. How would I correct it. I need to learn so if it happens again I can fix it before it gets to this

Ive seen it in the past. Its because you didnt flush good enough. Were you using any sugary additives? Also a contributing factor if it gets too high. They will never fill out.
Yeah it never filled in well. I had just chalked this up to being root bound, fungus gnats or just being f#@*d up. But the plants in the other flower room had done so much better. But they got the same symptom about 3 weeks ago. And flushing, lowering the nute solution strength down, stopping the fan, etc. Nothing changes.
Thats the weird thing. I am in coco on a flood table. From what I've read coco isn't supposed to need flushing in this. And even though I tried flushing it didn't seem to make a difference. Also, When I did flush the runoff ppm level was never more than 50 ppm above what my flush water was going in.
When you saw this type of symptom before, did you correct it by flushing? I used "Boost" by Canna for a couple weeks but the plants in the worst flower room were already like this before I did.

No theyre going to be small but dank. Flush weekly next time. Coco is notorious for this.
Coco is notorious for salt build up?
What is the temperature at the canopy?
What is the average humidity in the room? What is the lowest humidity?
What have you sprayed on the plants? How often? When was the last application?
How are you managing the pH of your recirculating E&F reservoir?
What "time" of day was this taken (early, mid, end?)

And being full of salt even though the bag says rinsed and ready to use.

As Above. Im no pro but if everything else in check-- Heat/Humidity?
Thanks every body. I harvested and have found that the roots were in poor shape. Very root bound. The pots were void of root mass in the middle. I found several of my most stunted plants had hollow stems. I will be making some changes for my next crop.

Dude. Smart Pots are worth every damn penny.
