K def? Please confirm

Hi I think my plant is curling under from a potassium deficiency...

Could some one please confirm. and also what is the best form of potassium to use to correct?

what kinda soil is that and how often do you water? PH? nutes?

could be curling from over watering

foxfarm soil i've added blood meal for a previous N problem. otherwise just tap water, no nutes. I water every 3-5 days

Bury it deeper, flush, LET DRY BETWEEN WATERING, add light nutes (1/4) at next watering, add more light.

the resaon i ask it because the leaves are curling under and the large center leaf i highlighted appears to be weak on the right hand side...

too much Nitrogen looks like that. a young plant in fresh soil doesn't have deficiencies IMHO.

interesting- thanksw for that thought frmrboi-

BTW the plant has been in pot for over 1 month now. Since march 15ish. adn the only thing I have used to supplement the soil has been blood meal- lightly spread over top of soil and and watered in. this was three- waterings ago.

I was under the impression that you could not over fertilize with blood meal(still i used it sparingly) Is this a good assumption or? Either way- how often should I be applying blood meal btw?

I haven't used the stuff myself, your correct in that over use of organics are safe in that they won't burn the roots etc. Nothing wrong with a little too much N anyways except the leaves aren't flattened out perfectly to catch maximum light.
