Here's the story in a nutshell...
Plants been growing in a seed starting mix since January 4th until two days ago when i transplanted it (soil medium to follow). It was watered often as the soil would be desert dry in less than 48 hrs, and that was even after GOOD waterings - it had grown quite a bit too so decided to upgrade the pot! I actually weigh the pot n medium dry and wet so if I'm ever unsure of If it needs water/nutes or not. When transplanted, I caught it on PERFECT timing as the tips of roots were at the edge of the "butter container"! Anyhow, she sprouted on about Jan 6th? And has been growing *fairly* quick, nothing super thriving (no point intended lol) but nothing special... The only thing I've seen special about this plant is the leaves seem like their CAKED in crystals/sugar! Another thing is it's DARK green/purple leaves, but this is where my question comes in....
The leaves are crystallly like, theyre also purple/dark... U know this cuz I just told u! Lol but the leaves also are curled under! Like the backwards "taco affect" that plants get when heat stressed or the lights/temp are too high and or close. Upside down, deformed "take my strooong haaand" type shit! Its just ass backwards! The leaves look healthy as hell, nice tint (under flash taking pics - otherwise u can BARELY see the purple/crystal tint with the naked eye!) . I'm just not sure what this is, if anything... But it doesnt seem BAD BAD! The plant seems rather healthy, I just transplanted it into a bigger pot (PERFECT SIZE BTW) and the soil is NOW staying rather moist longer instead of drying out so damn quick. So I guess that's a good thing! The medium is a peat moss/perlite/organic potting mix combo put together by me. (It was buffered with dolomite lime due to the HIGHLY acidic soil mixture) I've got the runoff at about 6.2 - 6.4 (last time I checked when watered), so I don't think anything is locked out!
After the soil was deemed appropriate, I then hit it with some *slightly* alkaline h20 (made alkaline with hydrated lime, just a pinch, because my faucet water is at 6.4 Ph but it is VERY hard water and VERY hard to control the soil for some reason! I couldn't get it right in the seed starting mix at ALL, SOME of the reason I transplanted! Couldn't hardly keep it above 5.3!!! Anyways, I let the plant settle in and soak up some "sunshine" aka CFL's lol. Right when she went to sleep and the lights shut off (what the directions say to do - " do not apply as foliar in direct light" I foliar sprayed it with my mix of "Alaska - All Purpose Fish Fertilizer (2-2-2)" which says is a GREAT source of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (this shit PROMISES 100% money back guarantee that this "plant food will NOT burn indoors or out") and a half strength shot of grow big to top it off! That's how it was done, I feel like it needed it, it was nitrogen deficit ans getting to big for its pot... Hate it or love it! Lol
Nonetheless, it was also hit with that because I "heard through the grapevine" that phosphorus and potassium deficiencies can cause my particular problem... The fish fert is known for those two things! This afternoon, I see no improvements or anything, just some weird, deformed looking leaves on an otherwise pretty healthy looking plant....
HELP ME OUT HERE GUYS! I DON KNOW IF WW IS SUPPOSED TO BE THESE COLORS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH MY SHORT BUS LEAVES!!!! ANY, LEMME SAY THAT AGAIN... ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED AND REP WILL BE GIVEN - NO DOUBT! HERE'S THR FLICKS! .......
Weird thing is, it only looks purple wit the flash on.... And that's the only time you can see the crystals too!!
