Looks like it may have been over watered when you found out it was dry.
Did you dose it with some high N? Looks a little toxic.

 

[Dr. D]

thats wots pickled me, the leaves stayed like this after i had underwatered them evryother part of the plant has picked up except these leaves...i thought the same that it looked like overwatering but there is no chance of that...

 

[bartender187]

take this advice with a grain of salt... That kinda looks like wind burn... esp. the second pic... do you have a fan directly on them?

 

[Dr. D]

no fan they are in the greenhouse with very little wind circulation..i find the edges of the leaves go crisp from windburn...its only happened since they wilted from underwatering...thanks for ur input..

Don't mean to get off topic but what do you use the the bubble wrap for that is seen in the background. Walls of some sort.

Mo,

 

[Dr. D]

Hey BigMo that is bubble wrap u can see there it helps with insulation on cold nights and nearing winter also stops plants gettin burnt from direct sun and it also helps keep rpying eyes out as u cant see th weed plants unless u get reaaly close and look in..
Hey DWW yeh the temps can get really high in the greenhouse so im guessing thats wot it is..wen that suns out it gets hot as hell in there....peace and thanks for ur input

dr. d - haven't seen this on my girls, but this has happened to me on a few occasions with bonsai wisteria and birch when they dry out. Seems some of the leaves suffer a bit more dehydration than others, watering makes 'em partially come back, the worst leaves often crisp up and drop in the ensuing week or 2.

 

[Dr. D]

Rastamon thanks for ur input....
MGJ i think thats wot it is, i just never had it happen bfore so was curious to the cause..il see how they go it hasnt got any worse or better..its not a prob...peace

 

[Growdoc]

Looks like wind burn to me too or old heat damage... cut it away, just the bad part, not the whole leaf...
