Otsikko: Leaf problem (or not?)
Kirjoitti: dennisnijland - heinäkuu 15, 2013, 12:06:52 ip
Hello everybody.

I think i have an leaf issue.
I grow indoors using an Atami Wilma hydro system.
An 250W HPS
Atami coco a+b
PH = 5.8
EC 2.2

The plants look allright and are growing very fast!
But the leafs are drooping down and are curling.

I really dont know whats going on here and if there's something wrong,
I would like to know before it wil become a huge problem.

To my eye, there is no problem. Good looking chili. You can still wait another opinion

Well I sure hope it's not a symptom of anything serious since some of my plants are way more curled.  ;)

I think your chili is just fine, the curling will ease when the plant gets bigger. EC 2.2 sounds a bit high (to me, I use way lower dosage) but if it grows and doesn't show signs of OD you should be fine.

That could be the result of too low/high pH, in this case too low. The EC may be a little too high for young plants as well but I don't think you should change anything yet. The plant looks very healthy and it seems to be a big one too. I don't think you have anything to worry about for now!

I think that the leaves are too heavy for the branches and they simply just can't hold up huge leaves like that.

Thanks for the reply's!
I just checked the plant outside of the tent.
I've noticed some yellow/lightgreen spekkles on the older leaf.
Maybe a slight Magnesium deficiency?
I think the plant doubled in size since my last post!!
Unbelievable fast growth compared to the other ones.
Btw it's an Fatalii Red ;)

EC= 1.8
If someone is interrested, I''ll keep this topic posted every week if possible.
