Re: Bent leaves
I will end this argument!
You spray calcium on the leaf! One or more of the following happens!!!
A. It is absorbed by the leaf!
.......1. It’s either used or stored!
.......2. Weather used or stored it will be good! If stored: When the leaf dies and turns into mulch/litter the calcium will still be available and used by the roots!
B. It drains down onto the ground and is used by the roots!
So no matter what! I can’t see how spraying, misting, pouring, scooping, dumping, or applying calcium can be bad! Just don’t overdo it!
Besides I would wager a lot of money that the problems of the leaf/roller leaf in the beginning was not a major/minor nutrient problem! 90% of these problems in my experience is due to a lot of heavy rain/watering or a little too much fertilizer! Just stop all water and fertilizer for a week or 2 and see if it straightens out before you try to add stuff!
The brown areas around the roller leaf I see all the time! When dew or rain gets into the pstem where the roller comes out and the sun hits it what does it do? It maginifies the sun! As it does this the drop of water causes the sun to burn this little patch of roller leaf!
This is combined with the fact the leaf may be and most likely is already weakened due to “fast growth” there is nothing wrong with fast growth! I grow for fruit! Not looks! When I’m pushing my plants and DONT see curved leafs and messed up rollers then that’s a sign to UP the fertilizer and water!
Put me to the test! Stop all water and fertilizer for 2 weeks (the current roller shows what happened 1-2 weeks ago) if you stop for 2 weeks you will get a normal pretty roller! Try me!
