i'll go ahead and say it befor somebody else does it would be easier to make a diagnosis if you had pics.
I know im really sorry i havent figured out how the post them and now I lost the charger to my camera.. I am using foxfarm happy frog soil. for nutes I have general floral 3 part series that I was using twice a week but my buddy told my just 1 time a week so I will be doing that. I alway use a half tablespoon of malassas and I also have kool bloom ripening fert. I have an inside sun 600watt hps bulb that is about 24 inches over the plants temps is about 75 day 65 night. not sure about the over water part seems like she dryes up fast. its not all the leaves its just the newest growth. thanks for all the help. should i get a rubbermaid shallow tote and put water in there so they can feed them selves

if you have a camera phone or know someone with one just borrow it real fast snap and send to an email then save to your computer and load up here below the post your about to make or click the paperclip icon.
sounds like over watering if they are drooping. but if they suck up water fast then maybe you need a bigger pot and/or to check your humidity, but in flower you dont wanna transplant.
oh and check the stickys you might be able to diagnose it yourself.
btw good luck.

Downwards leaf curl us usually caused by feeding too many nutrients. You're using two types of nutrients and also putting pancake syrup on them. For God's sake, don't put any butter on them.quadracer said:
Your nutrient solution should be mixed at a strength so that you can water your plants every time with it. Water only when the plant needs water. Plants don't watch a clock to know when they should drink.
Mix your nutrients according to the instructions on the container. If you meant that you're using General Hydroponics Flora Series, then it has very specific instructions on the bottles. If that's what you're using, then you don't need any other nutrients. Giving them more doesn't translate into better.
im confused. I was told that the syrup feeds the micros or something. I know how to read the tables on the back of the bottles. I think it was nute burn. the leaves are already looking better since friday. Its no like its al my plants either. its kinda weird if you ask my. but who am I just a nobody so if it needs a transplant and I dont do it will it hurt the buds? should I not use the tote to water? thanks for all the help

The syrup comment was a joke. Lots of people here know that I think the molasses thing is a waste of time.quadracer said:
I think it's nothing but over-feeding.

Very possibly. Give it a try. Let us know what your results are.quadracer said:

Between 6 and 7 is where pot likes to be. Depending on your strain, water hardness and type of nutrient. Try where you are now and see how it works. Measure it again after the addition of your nutes.quadracer said:
the thing is when I add my nutes is changes the color of the water.the test I am using is for a fish tank and goes by color. the color I am getting is the same as the with the added nutes. if it was right it would be 6 to 6.2. but I am not 100% thats acurrate. thanks for the help.

You need to buy a ph tester that doesn't use a color chart. ph pens are pretty inexpensive now. Testing your ph prior to putting your nutrients in is pretty pointless.quadracer said:

If you stick it in your water, it'll read the ph.quadracer said:

i got one for about the same price at lowes, solar powered. i think it was actually 15 bucks, but it read ph, soil moisture, and had a light meter. is it a bad idea to leave it in the pot? makes it easy to just slide the button to ph and read, but idk if it would have an effect on the roots or anything.
awsome thanks alot everyone for all the help. ONe more off the topic question. where can I get a magnifier that magnifies 30x. i have one right now but it only goes 5x and I can just make out the tricomes. Im goin to need to find one really soon.

It won't affect the roots, however, it may develop corrosion or a buildup of salts on the probe which could potentially affect the readings. I would advise you to remove it, wipe it with a soft clean cloth and store it in a dry place.schoolboy420 said:
