By the way. Both pics are taken on the same day of growth for each grow. 22nd day. And the pic of the 2nd grow plant is the tallest most robust plant I have. All others are considerably smaller. So really the difference is even more pronounced between the 'no food' and the 'give 'em food' concept.

Also I'm not really trying to hammer the 'experts'. Just to suggest that what is "always right" might not be all the time. Especially if you're on top of potential 'problems'. Or at least try to be.

The leaves are turning brown from the bottom up, 2 of my plants have lost the first and second set of leaves (from the bottom up). I did some research and thought I was low on P, so I gave them some epson salt and a little bone meal to bump the P. This is the only nuts I have given the plants for they are only 18 days old.
