What might be the problem?

Phanthan · Jun 30, 2008

Hi!

I just wanted to ask you people if you know what the problem with one of my plants might be.

Symptoms: Curvy leafs that stays in that position, no matter if it's exposed to sun or art. light.
It does grow, but it does it much slower than it used to and compared to other plants.

Note: Could this be caused by heat? Because it was a little close to the bulb a few days ago, but so was another plant.

Thank you guys in advance!

The size of the pot is not too small, because i got a larger plant in the same size and it's really healthy.

Thanks for the fast reply.

have you moved it around or transplanted it?

No i have not. But i've squeezed the pot to crack up air flow to the roots, so there shouldn't be to much water.

So it's possible root damage? What about the heat, it started that day when it was too close to the bulb. I could see the leafs bend more and more but i thought it was reaching for light.

if it's heat, move the bulb farther and it'll heal itself, if it's root damage, it could heal itself too... time is the key. don't be too worried, and wait for other responses because i'm no pro.

I have my plants in my window sill. The time it was too close to the bulb i moved some of my plants at my table and just used a normal lamp to boost the growth of my plants, because it was not a sunny day.

moving your plants from sun to artificial light can make them hermie... but that could be your problem, wait for other replies. sorry i couldn't help...

Thanks a lot, i won't be placing them there again.

I think that may be it, and why the other plant did fine probably was because it was bigger and could handle it better.

yeah it's all about genetics mostly.

i don't know if the future sex of the plant is gonna cause the leave to curve like that, it probably was the light, how close did it get? cfls can get an inch away, and if air is circulating it's less of a danger...he is right though it's young just let it grown and learn from your mistakes

What kind of "normal lamp" are you talking about. If it was an incandescent, Then that was your problem. Get some cfls, or hid lights. Or just put them outside. The window sill isnt going to work for you much longer.

I have never heard this...Could you please point me in the direction for some more info on this. Now if you are flowering a plant on 12/12 then you throw it outside in the longer days of the year, then maybe.

i've read it on several threads where people ask if their plant is hermie and why it is... just go search and you'll see.

Well it's what i'm trying to do, but i'm not sure what the problem is. I personaly think it's the mixture of lights.

I'll stick to the sunlight and everything will probably be just fine. The plant doesn't seem to be unhealthy otherwise.

I know. I'm going to grow outside, and therefore they are in the window sill untill i decide to put them out.

Thanks for the help guys!
