Spiny, raised and pointy leaves

[Starberry]

OK I am pretty sure that I got a nutrient lock out due to only watering with worm tea...so I did a flush when it got dry and tried to get this plant a little healthier. I know its a bit yellow and there are some brown spots...that's from me trying to foliar feed with too concentrated kelp juice...igorning all that...hey I'm a newb!

THE QUESTION: What is making these leaves so raised/hill valley like? Is that heat?

I've got 6 t-5's about 3 inches from the top and the temp is about 80F during the day and 76F at night. Got great circulation. I let the plant dry out between feedings. Watering with aquafir water. My other plants loves it.

The light vein issues looks like zinc which is most likely a lockout problem. I cant really see the other issues you describe but lockout will frequenly have multiple symptoms since it usually locks out 3 nutes right off the bat. The cupping is probably a high leaf transpiration rate due to the fans and light proximity and temp.

Flush, feed at 1/4 rate for a few feedigs and Back the fan off a little and see if improvement occurs

thanks thedude27...I watered this one gallon pot with a lot of water...it was dry so it was ok...noticed the water had a lot of dark color...I watered more until it was a bit clearer...the plant is already greener...will post a followup pic...

Great!! glad she's getting better

Thanks man. Check out this before pic and a couple afters. As you can tell, huge difference. Leaves look a bit wider, settled down. Still a bit limey yellow but I'm thinking a VERY dilute kelp juice night cap to green her up, and then transplant in a couple days as she's pretty root bound.

THANKS!!

Did a transplant...man that was the best thing I could have done. Seems pretty darn happy now.



The ph in the soil must have gotten way out of whack. Glad I learned about letting a plant get rootbound before transplanting...so the new soil acts as a buffer for whatever is going on. Cool!
