Too much nitrogen, would recommend a flush with like 2 gallons of water to flush away all the excess nutes, if the clawing continues, or starts burning,. Other than that the others are looking great, just heat stressed a bit

I would unscrew a few of those light bulbs. It looks like they are getting hot to me. the clawing could be Nitrogen tox, as well, but the curling up and turning brown is most likely from heat. Also, if you have the fan blowing directly on them, that could possibly be drying them out some, too.

Good luck!

ok so i should unscrew a couple of light bulbs and the fan is an Oscillating fan thats going back and forth blowing air on all 3 plants and its about 2 ft away from the plants, could it be cause my temps are always at 80 to 85 in the room also i gave all 3 plants water yesterday mixed with epsom salt so should i flush all 3 or leave them as they are now and wait and see

 

[MisterHarpy]

Yea 85 is too high they like 70s what's your moisture at? The ones clawing are the ones I would flush if they don't stop clawing. The other one that doesn't show claw looks great and likes the nutes.

 

[jessyfromgcf]

moisture is always below 50 i would say ranges from 30 to 50

 

[greenjeans]

I've not done soil, so I'm not sure on the flushing. 80 seems like a good temp(85 is probably pushing it), but if that is the room itself, rather than the top of plant temp, then the plants are hotter where the light hits them. The wind is just something I noticed with my own plants. mine doesn't oscillate, but I have it pointing parallel to the wall, toward a corner.. I am letting the wind bounce off the walls, basically, rather than straight onto the plants. I have 8 bulbs on 2 plants, and I keep a close eye on the canopy temp. You could just back the lights off a bit, too. Mine are more adjustable, so I kinda fiddle with them once a day to get them where I want them.

 

[MisterHarpy]

That's pretty low, might be the reason why they dry out and can't take the heat. You wan to shoot for higher moisture during veg, and lower during flowering

 

[jessyfromgcf]

ok i guess ill remember that for next time cause im sure within the next couple of days there gonna start flowering right

 

[MisterHarpy]

Yes, but don't stop the veg. Nutes yet. General rule of thumb is start nutes at quarter strengths I would try to keep them cool while they transition. As they are hot and sides pointing up are them trying to release all the heat, so that stresses them and you don't want that.
