Indoor 1989.5 dmg Daletas ’17 (F: 1756 Howell/Jolivette x M: 1625 Gantner)

The second true leaf has greened up nicely after a few Epsom salt treatments. However, the third leaf has some curling which looks like it could be potentially spray damage (applicator blight;-) This is likely because the second leaf had an application of Epsom salts and the newly developing leaf may have gotten some over spray resulting in the damage which is minimal. Seeing the second true leaf now have a more normal green color translates to the corrective applications being effective and will be continued in the short term. During this time, the leaf coloration will be monitored to see if deficiencies develop so corrective measures can be taken at the first sight of an issue.

Now that the leaves are of the correct shade of green the hope is the growth will progress at a quicker rate, even though the weather has not been favorable for growth.
