Multiple issues

[JDU]

I have this problem child & idk what she's tryin to tell me. She's comin out of Ntox- ph'd water with cal mag the last 2 waterings.
She's been throwing single point leaves for awhile & they show a lot of vein. Now some of them are gettin dark splotches & dry ridges.....
Any ideas??

She looks like she’s over her Nitrogen toxicity so I’d switch to the regular regimen of NPK’s. She asking for a more balanced feed now. Give her a good heavy feed at 1/2-3/4 dosage and then let her dry out a bit.

[JDU]

Will do- thanks!
Any idea what's causing the single point leaves? It's been doin that since before the Ntox.

more than likely a stress response.

[JDU]

I can't think of any stress she went through before it started... topping went smooth- she had hollow stems. Only been transplanted once & no shock.

[JDU]

No wait- I lied.
I forgot she was one of the ones I had in 1gal fabric pots. Lotta stress on me- probably some on her too. Btw I have 8 1gal fabric pots- if anyone wants the worthless pieces of shit & will cover shipping they can have em.

Topping is stressful - transplant is stressful

[JDU]

Yes they can be.

JDU I'm waiting for 5 new 3gal. fabric pots for my autos. The folgers coffee cans are really stressing out the 3 in flower LOL. I don't know how some of the photo challenge folks got such healthy harvest with root bound plants. It's a real challenge with too small of containers to keep plants healthy. I won't experiment again unless i get really dwarf plants.

[JDU]

The fabric is nice- as a final destination. I ain't gonna use the small ones again.

Just start the seeds in their final container. No transplant stress, no root bound 😎

[SoOrbudgal]

No I won't use 1gal fabric unless I bury it in the ground with the plant. I have flipped the fabric inside out to get root wads out I would imagine you gotta do the same to get it out for transplant? Pain in the A$$ to me and the plant.

[JDU]

Inside out- Pretty damn close! I pulled the Jilly Bean loose enough I had to use a bamboo stake to hold her up. (No shock, slowed growth or single point leaves though..... ) I wonder why this Mango plant is such a finicky wuss.

[JDU]

Jilly Bean up front Mango 2 in the rear.

Yes they're droopy- it's gettin time to feed. Maybe tomorrow- the pots aren't quite dry.

Her topping clone is doin great now. Took awhile to grow roots from a hollow stem.
