That does not appear to be an overwatering issue. The crinkling I see tends to be related to pH parameters. Also, IME that kind of curl is often the result of a bit of heavy feeding, usually N+.I think the leaves are curling because I over watered, so I haven't been watering as much. So I need to know when I should be watering them. And how often should I use nutrients? I have been using it every other watering. What're you're thoughts. Thank you.
Hm, what form? This is a brand I use regularly/often and I've never once seen it do this. I use the dry ferts. And that amount of N is not too much (unless it's seriously overapplied), again IME.Word. The nutes I use are dr. Earth organic 7-2-2
You think that's possible, even with the Dr. Earth he's using? I've never seen something like that from any of the mixes of theirs I've used. That + the crinkling make me think pH parameters are way out of whack.Agree not over watering issue. However, I do think it is an over-fertilization. I'm wondering if you are getting excessive nitrogen from wet/dry watering cycles. Add a layer of mulch to hold the moisture in, and keep the top 2" of soil moist without water logging the soil. Throw the pH pens away, this is the organic section. ;)
Peace!
P-
could it be from the ph making n too available while locking out others?You think that's possible, even with the Dr. Earth he's using? I've never seen something like that from any of the mixes of theirs I've used. That + the crinkling make me think pH parameters are way out of whack.
Ime that kind of leaf wrinkle is from too many soluble nutrients in the solution. That plant looks vibrant green. From what I have seen pH problems generally manifest with yellowing, necrosis, abnormal purple stems, etc due to trace minerals not being available.I fuckin' LOVE liver!

I would think not. A deficiency I would expect to show as a deficiency, not as an overdose of another nutrient. Especially since Mg is needed for photosynthesis. However, I'm often wrong.could it be from the ph making n too available while locking out others?
And what exactly is that going to tell us? That the run off of the soil is a certain pH? With This has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on in the rhizosphere. This is organic gardening, not hydrostore myth. Unless you have things really out of whack, the soil food web will take care of the soil pH. If you are dumping pH up and down, chems, etc on your soil and killing off your microherd, then you are a slave to the bottle.dude, go to petco or walmart and at least buy the ph tester kit in aquarium dept. test vial with dropper. 5$
distilled water is void of any minerals or buffers, so the PH swings very rapidly. tap water at 7 is more stable than distilled at 7 due to no buffer.
once nutes are added you might be at 5.
Nowhat am i chopped liver?
No offence meant bro,your on point . Sea just got my attention, i was pretty baked, but when i see sea name i always wann see what she has to say she spits straight knowledge, experienced or not, always something new to learn. So ya just came back to visit this thread thought that was the funniest shit. So no offence toward ya man ++vibes always.what am i chopped liver?
pH and ppm are only relevant in extreme situations - meaning your water is totally jacked. Water is the life force of your plant. Why would you feed it anything except quality water and inputs? Test your water once if you think there is a problem. If it's that bad, get an RO system, otherwise, don't worry about it. The soil food web will keep pH in order. Mulch is essential in organic growing. Growing without it greatly increases the chances of watering problems and therefore pH problems/nutrient deficiencies. Adding acids and bases is the dog chasing the tail imo.im not sure new farmers should skip past learning about PH and its effects. Or at least understanding what your source water is PH and PPM wise.
