droopy leaves now crispy

[MaryjaneMenehune]

Shes getting over feed with nutes. Flush her out good. I say this because
1 leaves are curling
2 tips look to be burning
3 algae grows on nitrogen and you got it on the top of your soil a bit much for a young seedling.

hey, i was wondering if the algae can have a negative effect on the plant or will it be fine? It seems that the larger plant with more algae growth is doing a lot better than the smaller one without any...so the conclusion i have arrived at is that the algae is eating up the nitrogen so the plant is not soaking up as much nitrogen as is present in the growing medium. I flushed the smaller plant and removed the mylar protecting the growing medium...maybe this will allow the algae to grow stronger and soak up more of the nitrogen. I'll keep you updated on any changes.
I figure the plant and the algae form a symbiotic relationship, but let me know if my hypothesis is completely off base.
