Hi all...My plant is over 3 weeks old now and growing well finally. I transplanted it yesterday to a bigger pot and used fert for the first time to try and help the move go smooth. I added 1 tablespoon of fish elumins to a gallon of water, its 5-1-1. I gave it a generous amount. I have a moisture meter and it is at about 3/4 at various depths and locations. Today the larger and older leaves are darker green and drooping or curling a bit downwards. But no tip burn or yellowing, just dark green and curling down. Any ideas?
thanks a bunch. i can post a pic if needed.

could be a ph problem, or sometimes to much nitrogin can darken the leaves and cause them to curl.

possibly nitrogen deficiency, but curling up confuses me.
how hot is it?

yeah...well mostly just turning dark green. its curling down at the ends of the dark green ones. new growth seems great though today. but it was always fine untill I added the fert, wich was the same day I transplanted it.

The simple act of transplanting a young plant will sometimes cause it to temporarily droop, if it is because of being disturbed it should pick up over the next few days.

if u gave it to much nitro the new growth would start to twist. like psycho said it can be from transplanting it. wait a couple days to see what happens if nothing changes try flushing it cause it can possibly be to much nitro but i think its cause u transplanted it

It is definatley not to much nitro. 5-1-1 isn't all that strong. And she only added 1tbsp to a gallon which isn't all that much. I always use 2 tbsp per gallon.
