    Curved leaf on sword

    Not sure what might be the cause of this, but a few of the leaves on my sword are curving at the tip. See attached.

    Smile Warning Bad Humor Alert...

    Hi,

    I am not sure the tips are a problem.

    How long have they been this way?


    I believed you the first time you said you were there,
    now Tug and Gerry can get real suspicious, but not me, you say you are there and dad-gum-it, I figure you are there.

    The LoudCreatureWhatSharesMySpace is always saying (loudly), “hey let’s go to Green Valley and Cambridge roads and get some overpriced coffee then go hang out at the CVS,
    ”so I get why you want to make sure everyone knows, nothing cooler than paying too much for coffee and then hanging out at the CVS!

    I still have my doubts. CaliKid, are you sure you're there?

    Ha ha ha ha. I'm not always sure where I am. Especially after a few glasses of scotch. That could explain the curved tips LOL!

    It's only been a few weeks since I noticed the curvature. Been ratcheting up the CO2. Plus had a change in dosing regimen, so there's been a lot of change in the water chemistry. Maybe the plants just going through an adjustment period.

    Smile Told You Tug Is the Suspicious Sort

    Hi,

    I hear much made of twisted tips and there is a specific deficiency that leaves the end twisted and deformed, but that tends to be at the very tip of the leaf.

    From what I see in the photo, it just looks like sudden increased growth and should smooth out in a week or two.


    It may just be a response to more CO2 and better dosing regimen.

    Sounds good. I'll see how it goes over the next couple of weeks.
