Brittle Leaves

Glassdub · Jul 4, 2020

My plants have been generally looking good & returning to color but some of the leaves are cracked & brittle, more on the 2 gelatos on the right which overall the biggest/most healthy, these are not older leaves, deficiency? I don't see signs of any pests.

Man, I looked over it up & down, even pulled out the microscope & checked a few small specks that I though might be mites but ended up being dirt, sticky trap is clean. That was my first thought but I'm not finding anything, I have had issues before brittle leaves before that didn't look so pest related, still puzzled.

Do you have pets? A cat perhaps?

i’ve had that, i’d say it’s genetics, where are the gelatos from?
i had zero pests too.. gelatos can be sensitive to too much nutrients. in the end all was good, the rest of the plant looks good? only that?

I see damage like that sometimes where leaves were trapped under a branch or leaves and grew through damaging the leaf some. Tears and holes like that.

Also too much nutrients may have done it like said above.

I have definitely seen it while no bugs are present.

Freebee seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co. https://homegrowncannabisco.com/products/gelato-feminized-marijuana-seeds
I have been feeding pretty light around 300ppm, actually thought I was underfeeding a bit other than this the 2 gelatos have been, excuse the pun, growing like weeds lately & have seemed less finicky that the LSDs which are supposed to be very easy to grow.
The close up is from the plant in the lower right corner, I personally think it looks great.

Yeah, I thought it might be natural genetic mutations. been feeding about a quarter of what is recommended.
