Hello,
I've got a Purple Train Wreck plant about 19 days old that i've grown from seed.
The first bit of growth came out fine, starter round leaves with thew true leaves coming in soon after. The first set of true leaves had a wavy/wrinkle look to them. Not curving up or down, not happening at one specific location, just a general wave pattern across the entire leaf.
The next node that grew out looked fine, so I figured it was a one off. Just an odd problem or defect in the plants growth.
The leaves grew out straight and fine, and that node was perfect. Now *all* of the new growth is wavy and wrinkled. Its pumping out nodes real fast and with little spacing, but all of the growth now is miniature and wrinkled.
My money is on PH/Heat issues. I started with some Miracle Grow seed starting formula, and other plants running in the same soil are doing fine. The room did get hot in the beginning of the grow, and after checking runoff after the first few waterings I noticed the PPM (with just plain water from my home) and the PH were wonky.
I've since worked to correct the heat problem, and am watching the PH every few waterings. This is still happening though, with only this plant, so I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas?
Also, as a side note, I took a 60x scope to some of the leaves. I see no mites or movement at all on any of the tops/bottoms of any leaves. I do see what seem to be resin glands though. Its hard for me to tell between mite eggs and these glands, but theres no "rough" or oval/oblong orbs. All just clear and milky resin glands from what I can tell. No webbing, and no damage that looks like mite attacks.
