I have some soil plants outside in FFOF+perlite being fed Botanicare at half strength with a PH of 6.7. These are in one and two gallon containers. plants are 6-12 inches tall.
The new growth at the tops of the plants, on a few different strains, is shrivelled and sometimes looks half eaten by something. If i bend the plant and tie it down, the middle shoots grow up perfectly healthy.
Just curious what may be causing this abnormal lack of growth?

Nintey-three percent of what I say is brilliant, factual information and seven percent is complete bullshit. Have fun deciding which is which.

hadn't considered that...will definitely take off a shoe or two and investigate.
Our Shepherd is like the energizer dogbunny. She was adopted by us, but i have a feeling the previous owners when picking her out of the litter, chose the dog that came barrelling full speed into their legs...exactly how i would NOT recommend choosing a dog...maybe why they no longer wanted her..
She is a huge mass of love...and loves everyone!

Please tell me about your Hounds... They look cozy!

well i checked their shoes and they all have lots of room to stretch. I suppose it could be from hitting them with liquid lights at 8am. I did not think the filtered sunlight they get at this hour could cause the shrivelling of the new growth...? What are some feelings on this?

Kind of odd.....6 -12 inch plants should be ready for a transplant up.....I think Stinky's rule is 1 foot of stem per gallon so sounds like they should be ready which is why I suggested it. .

I've had liquid light do some funny stuff to my plants so I guess its possible.....but usually wilting of the leaves is some sort of root issue......or possibly overnute or incorrect ph?

Got a photo?

Ps....those aren't my dogs....I just liked the photo, lol.

It could be over fertilizer maybe to much NUTES..... I've noticed when you hit them to much to Fast you get the leaf Twist......


Good Luck GL

here are some pics of what i am explaining. I have noticed some spots on the leaves as well, the lower ones. Also a wierd coloring to where the outside of the leaves are normal green and the insides are a bit light. Anyone care to share some ideas?
