This Farmers Daughter was in a 1 gallon pot and started becoming phosphorus deficient in early flower. You can tell by the red petioles and dark color of the leaves. It was transplanted into a 7 gallon pot with plenty of organic nutrients in a super soil for flower. Notice the top petioles are now green and getting plenty of phosphorus.
The curled leaves tell you there is an excess of fertilizer available to the plant. The soil is hot and if you look closely it looks like the big shade leaf is getting ready to burn between the veins. This is how you know to back off on ferts and just do water until the plant needs more if ever.IMG_20240827_085253.jpgIMG_20240827_085300.jpg

Note that this plant has red petioles from a lack of nutrients. It is important to learn the differences of why. Ph lockout causes the same deficiency but can be a variety of problems in one.

My fix for the phosphorus deficiency was a bigger pot with amended soil. The new soil seems a little hot looking at the way that shade leaf is curled under.
