I cant figure out what is causing the leaves on sprout 2 to curl so drastically.
I had fungus gnats appear a week ago so stopped watering the soil because I read that if you let the soil dry out, then the gnat larvae will die and the pest will be gone. It worked, but I think that the larvae may have damaged the roots before the died which caused stunted growth.
I have not substantially watered my plants in 3 or 4 days. They look healthy, so I am going to continue to wait until they begin to droop before I water them.
Any other reason the leaves would be curled like they are?
Good Luck with your grow !
I’ve heard of the massaging / pinching technique before, forget what the technical term was. In the context I’d read on it, was to generate additional node growth I believe.
@ThePhattKidd,
I have heard of people using the technique for that purpose as well. In that case they usually apply it to a branch and bend it over near its connection to the main stalk.
When it is bent over, the plant thinks it is dead, so it starts forming a new node at that connection, but then the damaged branch recovers as well so you are left with 2 healthy branches from a shared node.
In my case it is only to be applied to the main stalk, and only for the purpose of increasing malleability of the stalk for bending it over.
Here is a link to the video I watched. This fella's LST is really neat and he is able to get the main stalk right over: https://youtu.be/-Dg5hFEvS3E
@Ferenc, thank you!
I picked up the Spider Farmer SF 1000 kit (light, 27" x 27" x 63" tent, fan, filter, etc). I have 2 Northern Lights autoflowering seeds in 5 gal fabric pots with soil.
I am going to LST the plants, and I am interested to see what they will yield.
Stay tuned for updates.
