Hi all,
I'll start by saying that I am a new grower so I still have a lot to learn. I have a young auto flower plant, 12 days from sprouting, that is showing clawing leaves
Just the point of the leaf is curling down and after reading around looks like it could be nitrogen toxicity or under-watering. I then double-check everything I was doing and I discovered that I am giving her nutrient to early. I think that because I watered twice 1/2 litre of water with 1ml of Bio-Grow (NPK 4-3-6) and 1 ml of Acti-Vera, both Bio-Bizz product, from day 8. Also, the Canna Terra plus should have already 2 weeks of food in it. So I guess I fed her too early.
On the other hand, I am not sure I am watering right. First of all, as you could see the plant is already in a big 5-gallon fabric pot and because of that I was suggested to water just around the plant instead of soaking all the pot. Also, I am giving her half a litre every time the first 1/2 inches of the soil is dry which is every two days at the moment. I recently discovered that I should water more until I have 20% runoff. At the moment I did not notice any runoff at all.
The colour of the leaf does not seem a dark deep green as should be in nitrogen toxicity and it is strange to have this toxicity in the vegetative phase. The point of the leaf feels thin, almost crispy, at the touch. Moreover, the first two leaves do note seems to curl down as the top one.
I am waiting for the soil to be dry a little to flush with water until I see the runoff. I was watering with PH at 6.5 however I am switching to 6.2 because I read that Canna Terra prefer a lower PH although it's a soil mix. Temperature is always between 20 and 24.5 degrees. Humidity between 50 and 70%. There is good air flowing in the grow tent. The light is a Mars Hydro TS-600W at 50cm (20 inches) from the top of the plant and I am doing 18h on - 6h off.
Maybe I am just overthinking. I gave you as much information I could, if I missed something ask please.
