curling leaves on new plants! :(

devnull Registered on May-08-2008 More User Info Message #84501 posted by devnull (Info) May 08, 2008 14:14:57 ET Hi, I used to visit the boards a lot but under another name which I can't remember the password for and don't have the email account any more so have had to re-register. Anyway, I have a few plants growing - White widow - and they are just over a week into grow under a small HPS. Now, I've noticed that the leaves are starting to curl on them! :( I have checked for insects etc and found none. I have watered them daily but not over-done it. I have grown before with no problems, but never white widow. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be? I tested the temp with the back of my hand at the plant level and whilst it was warm, it certainly wasn't "hot". I've just moved the light up a bit to see if that helps but any other suggestions are much appreciated! Cheers

VERY important...!

The heat seems to have slowed them down growing a bit initially (I expected this) but they're now recovering and coming along nicely. The leaves which curled started dying so I just pinched them off. I'll grab a couple of pics sometime & update you!

I have therefore re-potted them tonight in the hope they will retain more water in the pots! :)
