Okay, so I have a couple little issues arising here. I tried to do some digging around, but I know that I will get a more detailed answer by posting here.
Okay, I have some plants that are about 23 days old (from seed). I had some yellowing happen and pretty much tracked it down to iron issues. That issue is working itself out just fine. However, now the leaves on a few plants are curling upward (taco style), and getting a glossy finish to them.
I gave them a 1/3 strength solution of General Organics feeding schedule (for week 2 veg) recently to clear up the iron issues I mentioned before. Seemed to work, but I thought I would throw that out there so you know what they have been fed as well. Oh, they are also in Royal Golds Basement Coco mix.
Now, if the humidity is low...would plants curl their leaves like this trying to transpire if the soil is too wet? I am thinking the stomata might be closed due to lack of RH, but TRYING to transpire anyway because there is too much moisture in the soil. RH normally doesnt drop below 50% though. Thoughts?
Anyway, I remember something about plant leaves turning glossy...but couldnt remember (or find) the cause...let alone the cure. There are a couple pics of that issue as well.
Pics are worth a thousand words right?
First pic has both issues, curling and glossy leaves.
2nd pic has yellow from iron issues (or so it seems) but its SO much better than a few days ago, if you look at the lowest first set of 3 you can see the curling starting.
3rd pic, when looking at the newer growth is glossy and has raised ridges in the leaves (some kind of build up?).
Please let me know what you guys think may be the cause/solution to these problems.
Thanks for your time and help. In the mean time Im going to go smoke some Diablo Kush and hope someone can help me save my poor babies!
