Hello to all. I am a new grower with minimal knowledge. I am looking to the members of this site for help in my learning experience. I have read many of the posts related to my current problems, and ahve yet to come up with a solid answer. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
So, my problem is this...I have a few plants that are about 4 weeks old. They were all growing pretty strong (except for one that I call the "runt"). I grow outdoors. The other night it started raining BUCKETS! The leaves started sagging because of all the excess rain on the leaves. I brought them inside and put them into a controlled (makeshift) growing environment for them to dry off. My red heat lamp was on them at a safe distance (I didnt feel any heat on the back of my hand when I put my hand over the tops), but the room was pretty hot itself. Had a fan on them and ventilated the room from time to time over the next few hrs. The next day, I put the plants back outside and checked them a few hrs. later. The tops of all of my plats are curling under on the sides and slightly on the tips (more on the sides though). The rest of the leaves are fine and the plants are standing tall and strong. I have read all sorts of possiblities from overheating, overwatering (mayeb all the rain water that they got at that time), and Nitro burn. I have also read about nute burn. I am simply using miracle gro and it has worked just fine. If I could get some solid answers that would be great. I know that it could be any of those things, so I am working on getting some pics. The curl isnt TOO bad yet, and it is only on the tops, but it still bothers me to look at. Also, I hope someone can tell me w/out sarcasim that they will be ok, and what I may be able to do to make that happen.
