i've been growing this plant i got from clone for about a month now, i was using 1 10,000 lumen 2' t5ho fixture on it, then when i switched to flower about 5 or 6 days ago I added a second light of the same kind, i have lst'd it, so i have i light angled on each side, totaly sorrounding the plant, i noticed that the leaves began to get ridig after i added more light, wich didn''t see like much of a proble becase i noticed this on a plant i had before when i added alot of light to it. But now some of the leave are looking like taco's the figers are folding up on each side. I read a thread awhile back were someone wention this and thought it was a nutrient deficiency, i just wanted to be sure. I've been using fox farms nutrients, the grow big for veg, and the big bloom and tiger bloom for flower, i've burned my plants a few times becasue this shit is way stronger then what the directions lead you to believe, I've burned them using half of the reccomended amount, I've gotten leaf curl a few times, I just watered and nuted today using half strength of the tiger bloom and big bloom and did it again, last time i did it i used 3/4 strength and i had 4 or 5 leaves turn yellow, now it looks like the same thing is gonna happen again. the growth on the colas still looks pretty good except for a little leaf curl. I check and adjust the ph of the water i use before and after adding nutes so i'm pretty confident my ph is okay. I am mainly concerned about the leaf tacoing becasue i have never seen this befor and don't know what to do. Thanks.

burning it doesnt cause yellowing leaves, thats something completly different. burning will show signs in the tip of the leaves at the newst growth. it will be brown, looks burned. if the leaves are pointing like that at the tips of each blade, id say it might be a little hot.

no doubt its hot, it just seemed lake after everytime i burned it, within hours 2 or 3 of the biggest leaves would get a slight yellow tinge to them, then slowly start to turn all yellow

how close is your light? shouldn't matter with T5's. could the bulbs be touching any leaves? When my leaves taco, I add 1tablespoon/gallon water (for soil) and goes away. give it some time. if your in soil, it could take 7-10 days to see results. Someone will be able to narrow it down. It will be easier with a questionnaire and pictures

no leaves touch my lights, you said you added 1 tablespoon/gallon but you didn't say of what.
i am growing in soil, i trimmed all the shitty looking leaves off earlier today and now it looks fine, except for a bit of curl wich is no big deal. We'll see what happens, i'm just gonna start using 1/4 strength nutes untill the plant get bigger. Thanks

are you ph'ing your nute solution? Tiger Bloom is very acidic and will build up in your soil, effectively lowering the soil ph and locking out Magnesium and other needed nutes. Low ph causes nute lock out of Mg, causing leaf taco-ing

i check my ph before and after adding nutes to the water, that is some strong shit, it'll drop from 7.4 to 5.6 after adding nutes, I've had to use a little baking soda twice to get the ph up, I know its not good to use, i was just short on cash but i'm gonna order some ph up and down in a couple days and i'm not gonna add any nutes till i get it. The leaf taco-ing was only on like 3 or 4 leaves BTW.
