well the second true leaf on the 1247 got a bit of the
burn too, this time on top of the leaf. from what i can
see, the small 3rd true leaf looks fine, but we will see
when it gets a little bigger. seeing that the 818 shows no
signs of burn, i am not sure if it was the transplant shock
into the unexpected 95 degree temps that caused this burnt
wrinkled look on the leaves. during the transplant process
last sunday, a big drop of sweat fell off my forehead
with a direct shot onto the center of plant. i grabbed a
spray bottle and rinsed off the 1247 immediately after that
happened. i remember reading a post last year about sweat
dripping on to plants and causing burn marks on leaves, so
i knew to rinse it off. i never thought twice about it
again until 2 nights ago when i noticed the burn damage
to the second true leaf as well as the first. these 2
leaves were the only 2 on the plant when the sweat dripped
on them, and i am thinking maybe i did not rinse them
off enough. who knows, but next year i will wear a head
band if i am sweating during the transplanting into the
patch. i just got done tilling the entire later season
patch that night i transplanted and was a sweaty pig
dripping sweat profusely. so its either the heat burn
theory or the sweat theory or a combination of them both
that has affected the first two 1247 leaves. but once again,
i am not too worried as long as the the plant corrects
itself over the next 2 weeks. if it doesn't, the 818 will
get its shot to do its thing. unproven yes, but the 818
is a 735 pukos f. x the 935 lloyd m. and has the genetic
potential to grow a monster. time will tell which will
be the keeper.
