Hey everyone,


I’m growing a plant outdoor in a guerrilla setup and I’m noticing some signs I’m not sure how to interpret. Some of the leaves (especially lower ones) have fingers that are curling or drooping down, and a few are slightly yellowing. The plant is still growing in height and producing new leaves from the side shoots, so development hasn’t stalled.
As you can see from the photos only some leaves have this problem. some leaves at the bottom (1 or 2 leaves) some have holes, but I think it is normal in guerrilla (maybe almost inevitable?)
At transplant I added Easy Boost, mycorrhizae, and Geoneem to the soil. Since then, it’s been mostly rain-fed with some supplemental watering on hot days.

I’m trying to figure out if this is a case of overwatering, underwatering, or maybe something else like a nutrient issue. The area does get decent sun but also occasional rainstorms.

Any insight or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Clawing is from too much water or nitrogen, those aren’t clawing enough to be a concern. But can make a slight adjustment on the water and see if it changes but that plant looks pretty good to me

It's very likely due to excess water because it rained a lot in the previous days and I tried to protect it as much as I could but the soil is still damp from the last rains and I haven't given it any fertilizer or water in general for a long time (like 2 weeks).It has just started flowering and I wanted to start giving Vega bloom but at this point I have to wait for the soil to dry out a bit otherwise the overwatering will make it worse

Based one what you said it probably is slight over watering due to prolonged damp soil but they look healthy! fluff up the soil once or twice a day to get some more air into the soil you’ll be alright 👍🏼
Keep it up 😁😁
