100_3589.jpgi have 14 babies---this is a cronic lowryder fem --all are lr#2 crosses--growing in soil--in a outbuilding----no heat---a 150 hps and 10 100watt cfls.all look great but her--she looked fine yesterday.i water 2 times a week--last water day before yesterday --plain tap water set out 2 days, all her buddies are lookin great---did nothing different to her!!any ideas?no discoloring--just leaves are curling under--not brittle
 
welll at a glance it looks like overwatering.... what soil you in? how wet does th soil feel to the touch? and when you put your finger in soil 2 second knuckle?
 
wet --wet---wet however 13 more just like her are doing fine--i actually did just water before pic with water that was bubbled over night --hoping it will help
 
yeah... prob drowning a bit... let em dry out a bit between waterings...

next watering add 1 tsp per gal of 3% H202...

You might want to poke holes in the soil....helps get oxygen down in the root area. Pencil, chopstick....maybe 5-6 holes in soil to aeriate. You have enough holes in bottom of container to drain? Might want to add a few more, or make the present ones a little larger to drain adequately. Other than water lillies, most plants don't like soggy feet! ;o) Sm. fan blowing on low might help take some humidity out of your out building. I wait and water (2-3 gallon pots, azalea containers) after top soil (2" or so) is dry, but there is dampness below. At this early stage as long as you don't have root damping off, it will survive.
