For those of you that didn't read my "Dying Plant" thread, I'll try to sum up the past few days.
I slowly started my plant into an 18/6 light cycle, since I wasn't doing that before.
One morning I had to go to work unexpectedly, and no one was going to be here to turn the light on, so I turned it on before I left, which was a few hours too early. Also, I recently watered. So I come home later that day, the bottom most leaves are dying, the others are droopy, and the soil is ALREADY dry... VERY dry.
I found out the bottom leave fall off anyways, and since my plant is one month old, that's normal. I was told to transplant. Well, today when I came home, my plant was perky again. The leaves we back up, and all seemed well, however this morning I water them A LOT. Yet, 12 hours later, you couldn't find dryer soil in Arizona. I finally transplanted, and the root structure was amazing. There seemed to be miles of roots wrapped around and around. But one thing I noticed prior to transplanted was that one of the good leaves were curled and seemingly dried at the tip. As you can see in the picture. (The leaf is not yellow, the camera just made it appear that way. They're a nice green shade.)
Why is the tip curling? Could it have been that it really did just need to be transplanted?
