They are not doing the kind of damage I know to be caused by thrips. And no black greasy turds all over the leaves.

Hashman... So far no serious shcok from transplant... One round of Sour D I put into a big bed were still shocky from the cold but are now 98% clear. All the big plants are very happy. Their first night was 56degrees. Could not have been a bad thing.

So I got delayed a day in getting the rest of the girls out but I talked to my buddy at the location and he said half the plants are starting to reach up (they're all put in horizontally) for the sky now. He said 1 out of all of them however is curling really bad. He said the leaves are curling up so that underside of the leaves are more exposed. If I'm not mistaken isn't this sometimes a symptom caused by the stomata trying to gain more or less air exchange? In this case it seems like the they are trying to get more air since the plant is trying to expose as much of the underside as possible. Am I somewhat close with this? I'm asking in here because I think it may be a similar situation to what has happened to a few that have been put out by folks in this thread as well.. I'll have pictures tomorrow of it to show but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help this situation before I go out.. I'll make sure I water the leaves itself for sure. My buddy said he threw some water on them directly as well but he didn't stick around to see if it helped any later on..

Thanks much

BB

You should both (localhero & botanical bill) start foliar spraying kelp ...I think your plants are freaking out from low humidity..

Kelp foliar is on my agenda for today... going to use the Old Age... its all I have unless I use a combo product like Roots trinity... I will probably just go with the OA Kelp... is there a preferred pH for kelp foliars?

i am cutting light back by 20 minutes a day now. I'll be at natural light in about 4 days. Too fast/risky? Or does it not matter? Abrupt change is no good, right?

I stepped mine down to meet the light cycle for today and that worked fine. My water pH is 7, when I put the kelpak in it goes down to 6.2...I don't change it

banana kush from the front of the garden, youve earned your prize.


the garden is looking good, but some things are throwing me off. why are some of the Hindu kush plants thriving while others seem stalled out? fed the same, were the same size when i took them out. i dunno im just baffled:
