Leaf curl is caused by heavy feeding. The leaves get thicker and then curl. Wait when you see suckers growing on you leaf stems !!! Thats when you know that you are doing things right !!!

wixom...you are thinking small...when you see ribbon suckers and megablossoms forming on your leaf nodes..then you might have it right. We aren't growing pretty. Last year I my leaves curled up tight...and I had suckers on nearly all leaf nodes. My theory(yet to be proven) if you are keeping up with pruning..you just are not feeding enough. These plants go wild with more feeding. Feed the giants..they will go beyond what you expect...i love giant tomatoes.

Tim what seed are your plants ? That kind of leaf curl usually doesn't come untill you top the plant and stop all growth. Your only in the flowering stage and you had a lot of single blooms ?

Where do you live?...and What’s the white stuff around the base of the plants..?...they probably just need a good ground feeding at this point ...same with the sunflowers...if it were me, I’d pull out the blue water...get some quick answers that way

Your plants are probably ok the heavy foiler feeding is probably the cause. I am suprized that you are not seeing larger flowers with those genetics ? I would back off on the foiler feeding for now and feed them more potasium and phosphorus.

Looks like you are practicing different pruning techniques on different rows of plants. I like the looks of your smaller plants best. You cleaned off most of the suckers or branches. You first row you have to much plant.you kept a lot of branches on them. Keep doing it that way if you wont to see what happens or works for you. Expirimenting is how we learn.
