Curling leaves on my first living soil grow

  1. Just wondering if anyone has any input on what’s causing this. I have 2 plants that have curling leaves. One is curling down, one is curling up. It doesn’t help that I’m running tons of different genetics since I can’t really make direct comparisons but the one thing they all have in common is that they are in 15 gal pots with soil I mixed from the build a soil take and bake kit.

    ^ this one is a slurricane #7 by in house genetics and all the leaves have a slight curl to them but this one single leaf on top is curling up very noticeably.

    This one is grape pupil and on one branch all the leaves are curling downward. This week has been pretty rainy so I’m not sure if that could have anything to do with it, but I noticed on this plant the leaves were already starting to curl a little bit even last week which was pretty clear and sunny.

    I have more pictures I’ll try to upload later but unfortunately on grasscity lately when I try to upload pictures it’s been failing

  2. I'm seeing similar looking leaves on mine. I'm thinking it's the excess rain we had over the past few days. We also had some seriously heavy smoke from the wild fires. I'm hoping they straighten themselves out.

  3. Hmm, that first pic with the leaves “tacoing” is usually an indicator of a rapid change (usually decrease) in humidity or temperature. The bottom pics don’t have that going on though and look more overwatered.

    what is your watering situation? EDIT: just reread your post and Tim’s comment so I’d also guess too much rain!

  4. Yeah it’s weird though because I we just got another day and a half of straight thunderstorms and it’s still just the leaves on that one branch and the one plant that’s got the taco leaves. In general with the sun we got this afternoon all of the plants look super healthy but the one with the taco shaped leaves is not looking so hot. I picked up the mulch layer and noticed a ton of tiny little termite looking things which could be the issue. I’ll take a picture of them tomorrow and I may even just pick that plant up and relocate it elsewhere in hopes that it will shape up and simultaneously prevent whatever those bugs are from spreading to the other plants

  5. Aminopyralid causes similar too can be airborn or manure compost spread messed my whole garden up

  6. Hmm I’m looking into that now. I’m thinking it’s probably not the compost since more than half of the pots are using soil from the same mix that I made. The plant is actually starting to bounce back. It had a little curling still yesterday and I just rechecked this morning and it seems to have corrected itself.

  7. Think the other dude is right looks like it had that heavy water bubbles to the leaf
    Coupled with heat maybe ? Taco heat curls and overwatering if she got more water than the rest then she would be stressed meaning less heat would effect her faster than others not stressed (they could have bigger roots if same ammount of water to deal with the ammount of flood)
