Why Are My Fan Leaves Canoeing?

The text discusses the issue of cannabis leaves curling up or canoeing, which is often referred to as The Claw. This condition occurs when the leaves of cannabis plants curl upwards in a canoe-like shape, leading to reduced growth and yield. Some cannabis growers may describe this phenomenon as canoeing or tacoing.

The symptoms of leaf curling up include overwatering during flowering, excessive wind directed at the pot or plant, and overwatering. To address this issue, it is suggested to dial back the wattage on lights or move the plant. Overwatering can also cause cupped leaves to be overdriven by light for the humidity level.

Leaves curling up may be due to heat-related or humidity issues, but twisting leaves might also suggest something going wrong with the plant. Poor soil quality and genetic factors can contribute to leaf curling. To avoid this, choose well-draining soil and consider plant genetics.

Poor soil quality and genetic factors can contribute to leaf curling. Watering is necessary for the existence of marijuana plants, but too much can lead to bent leaves.
