Ah man. Terrible things are afoot with the 1478. All secondaries have gone from rapid and vigorous growth to less than an inch a day...the leaves on the newer secondaries are VERY pale (even paler than normal, heh) and the three sets went from good growth to no noticeable growth but still retain a very glossy skin...all of this in the span of a few days. To any experienced growers, what could possibly be going on? I thought it might be over-watering and have held off on watering for the last four days with no signs of droop or extra flagging, which kind of supports it; evidence against this is that the Dill seems undisturbed and continues growing like a weed. Over-fertilizing? Root crowding with the Dill secretly dominating under the soil? What might cause a previously healthy plant to suddenly stall? I've found no soft spots or rot of any kind anywhere along the main, the leaves are quite heat tolerant and haven't flagged much the past four days, there's no aphids/powdery mildew or any other observable plant damage. In other news, the Dill is at 51 OTT on day 12, hahaha. SCORCHING :/. When I decide to start watering again, I'll introduce some high potassium fertilizer.
