I have 1 of 3 Gelato plants (seeds from SEED SUPREME) that is different from the others. They are autos and were all started at the same time.

The new leaves all look healthy until they are fully formed then they turn orange down the spine of each finger.
To me it resembles a boron deficiency, but why this plant only?
Could it be bad genetics in the seed that grew it?
Really curious to know
Thanks in advance

The soil is a fox farm mixture of Ocean Forest, Salamander, Happy Frog (equal amounts), and a lesser amount of wiggle worm.

My water is aerated, sits for more 24 hrs before being used, and the ph is between 6.0 - 6.3.

I'm sort of going by the chart below, but at about 50% of the dosage. The plants are 3 weeks old and have been fed twice so far.

The lights...I have no idea how bright they are. I don't understand how to measure the brightness and all that. Nobody's shown me how.

I have 6 other plants all doing well that were all started at the same time. This one is the odd one out. But why?

I don't really care if this plant makes it or not, but I'm not going to give up on it. I just want to learn as to why it's different.

I am a big proponent of not only measuring ppm nutes in, but also nutes out. I would also try bringing your lights down a wee bit and see if this perks her up.

I'm thinking something in the fungal family might be going after your plant. If all your plants are in the same soil and fed the same and that's the only one looking weird, it's something to consider. Besides, it doesn't look like it's originating in the growth, it looks more like.... an attack of some kind.

It looks pretty young, but a possible salt build up? Check soil pH as well?

You can buy light meters, or follow the base guide lines for the light being used.

I am not 100% sure.....was leaning towards a magnesium deficiency at first....add the environmental stress. Hhhmmmmm
Maybe @GNick55 has a better idea. I think waiting a few days in between waterings is a good idea. Let the soil dry out before watering

It's definitely a magnesium deficiency. It's the why. Is the soil pH to low? Overwatered? Nutrient lock? Calcium level too high in the soil possibly

Every other day, and a bit more than a litre at a time.
They're just past 3 weeks old so they don't get a lot.

I would increase the watering volume and back way off on the frequency. With plants that small in pots that big, and amended soil, I'd be drying back for a week or more.

First thing I'd do is let the soil dry out and give the roots a chance to stretch out. Second thing I'd do is question the feed. The soil mix your using should have more than enough nutes in it to take it for at least 60 days or more. Even then I'd feed at 25% or less even. Start small and increase as needed. You can always add more, but once it's in there there's no taking it back out unless you like flushing your medium.

And fwiw, there's always that one plant that's just a finicky little bitch and no matter what isn't going to be happy. It happens. Just got to grind it out.

I just had 5 with the droop and one with the leaves tiger striping.

I ran the pots damp for 12 days while treating for gnants. It was an expected outcome from running the pot wet. 3 nodes were affected but the ones above node 4 cleared it up and the plant is doing ok.

Wet pot

Hey @BaldrickTX - we're sorry we missed this! Did it improve / turn out to be a deficiency?
