Is this leaf problem from excessive N?

[Mrs. Weedstein]

This is the only one of my plants with exactly this weird problem, where the leaves are overall perky enough but the very tips take a sharp downward turn.

I’m assuming this is from excessive nitrogen? That’s at least what I’ve assumed in the past. Weirdly, other plants fed with same light organic fertilizer and transplanted into same non-hot soil don’t have this issue. If this one’s oversensitive, might be a candidate for culling.

how often and how much watering your plant? seems to be overwatering

My inclination would be to look at your pH. Good luck.

PH... blamed for more deaths than... Covid-19

LOL, I am starting to think marijuana plants hate water and should be kept away from it. I barely water it at all. Also, it gets the same amount as the other plants and they’re fine.

You might be right but then why is only this plant having a reaction? I don’t want to seem argumentative, just brainstorming here. In any case, there is no way I am going to be changing the ph of the gallons upon gallons if water I use outdoors on these things in the peak of summer, so if it’s that sensitive to ph, it’s getting culled.

maybe underwatering couse this problem or your plant just very sensitive nitrojen. what about wind burn?

I’ve had them inside. I’m not overly worried about it but it’s kind of a puzzle, as no others have the same issue.

I can't answer that; I wish I could. Kind of like 'some kids'....'some plants'. Anyhow, that was my best throw at it. Hopefully you get it figured out. Good luck.

Thanks, but is there a reason you don’t think it’s sensitivity to nitrogen? I thought the tips were affected like that by N, and it’s feasible that portion of soil mix just happened to have a little more batshit or what have you.

I don't think it's a nitrogen issue per se. In other words, the clawed leaves, while they can be an indicator of too much N, they are not wholly correlated to a N issue. Sometimes when our pH is off, the plants will do what yours is doing...and if you look at the off colors of those same leaves, it would lead one to think perhaps your pH is off a little. Just talking out loud...good luck.

Thanks. I’m not saying you’re wrong but my conclusion is to give this plant a de-merit for breeding purposes rather than change my the ph of my water. My philosophy is to work with what I’ve got without too much fussing. If a plant doesn’t like the growing conditions, then I’m going to go with one of its siblings that can tolerate them. So, whatever the problem is, this one’s probably going to get dumped or given away to someone growing for bud.
