I've got an issue with a gifted clone and not sure exactly what the cause is. Hoping the pic will help. Greatly appreciate any help, as I'm not 100% sure I've worked out the issue.
The strain is GG4 and the medium is coco under LED 18/6.
Photo taken 2 hrs after lights off.
My guess is that it’s a root problem.
I don’t think it’s heat stress as it’s only 17-18 digress.
I dimmed the lights to ensure they don't stress her out while she battles this condition.
I don’t think it’s mites as the other strain doesn’t have any signs.
BG story, I had it in the classic beer cup and it had healthy root growth. I wanted to transplant it before the cup was too small but I think I did this too early.
The temps have been cold too, so the medium wasn’t drying out too quickly. The bigger pot meant there was too much moisture perhaps but I didn’t think that really mattered in coco.
I stopped watering and waited for the medium to dry up.
I've been giving it foliar spray with some kelp.
I've now given fert with H202 to give it oxygen and hopefully kill any bad guys causing root rot.
I also pulled it out and there wasn't a lot of roots in the pot but I did see some healthy looking white roots, so maybe it's on the mend. I unfortunately didn’t look for brown rooted ones. I’m apprehensive of pulling it out again incase I damage more roots.
It has grown but what alarmed me was that the new leaf seen in the pic still has the curl. The older fan leaves don't all have the curl, which is good. While I wait another few days to see if it recovers, I'm wondering if I've identified the issue correctly?
If so is there anything I can do and how long does it take to show signs of recovery? It does seem a little more healthy but the curl is what freaks me out.
Thanks again for any advice, I really wanna save her!
