Superthrive, water, MG 3 month slow release soil.

My plants are healthy, they mighta ate some of their first keaves, but seem healthy now I thought. THey are green and new growth is perfect, but one of the plants maybe 2 has issues. They have ram horn leaves... which I left alone since it looked healthy and didn't bother looking up what it meant, just figured since two of the plants had same type of leaves it was normal.

Today I was doing a light feeding with spray bottle. Some organic fert i used for bamboo, really good for ensitive plants. I was wondering why the two plants with ram horns dont smell, so I grabbed a leaf making it flat and it cracked. I grabbed another one and it cracked. Plant seems healthy otherwise. It looks like uncurling a curve into a flat plane makes the leaf crack is that normal? Sounds like celery... I ate the leaf.. tasted good....

Maybe a Magnesium prob?

IMHO if your leaves are breaking like that you either have heat problems or you gave them to much superthrive.
 
..??..I thought I replied to this..? ..
Mg defficiency usually shows itself as a "canoeing" of the leaves (curling up at the edges)..and chlorosis along the veins....just the opposite of 'rams horning'...which usually is an indication of, (like tbg said) heat and/or over nutrification.
 
Well it was heat... the one that has bad leaves was closes to light.... fixed it now, it's twin is alright.

thanks for heads up Hick
