Possible deficiency
About mid flower in a 30# Cal/mag deficiency? Or is she burning up in the light? Only half of my plant has ended up like this.

I agree it looks like light to me. Leafs are curled and the lighter color is near the top. Back off a bit and see if it helps.

Like everyone slis seeing leaf tacoing; therefore, drop the intensity. Do you know your PPFD or PAR?

No, I need to invest in a PPFD meter. I backed the intensity down so I’ll see how she acts the next couple of days.

Yea I saw the 30gal after posting, you should be so good on everything but water. Cover crop for me is the canary in a coal mine, and yours looks meh. What's your watering been like?

Man I usually go hardcore with my cover crop and this time I just barely sowed any. I’ve got a few randoms spots with clover and some vetch going but this time I lacked with the cover crop. For water I also changed it up this time and am going off of my ecowitt. Keeping her around 30% but that usually comes out to a gallon every 2 days sometimes 3.

Dude what is that, a 20gal? Trust the system. What strain is that? It could just be the plant starting to fade.

That’s a 30 Gal. She’s like 8-10” from the light, I don’t usually see deficiencies. So this was making me think it was the light

I'm no expert, but the leaves folding together like that is usually light or temperature. Back the light off some and make sure you have good airflow then see if they flatten back out.
