Is this albino or mutation cabelluda?
« on: December 27, 2012, 07:46:07 PM »
First, sorry for the poor picture.

several Cabelluda germinated last week, but one looks like albino or mutation .
It's too young , so diffcult to find a different between albino one and others ,but i'm sure that is mutations....am i wrong?

If anyone grow albino like plant , please teach me how to grow or any good things to growing that one.
Thanks.

looks like the ph is a bit too high.

bring the ph down to an acidic level, and your m glazioviana will thank you!

I bet your water has a high ph.

Wouldn't it show in the other two green seedlings as well?

not necessarily.  some seedlings are more sensitive than others, even of the same species.

and the seedlings will usually grow fine at first even if the ph is not right.  I think the seed helps at first, by providing extra nutrition.

given enough time, they will all run out of luck, turning chlorotic, and slowly dying.

btw, the soil mix looks like it may have bits of limerock?  that's a no no

thanks.

anyway, the true is chlorotic  one need more nutritions and care , but eventually they are dying slowly... if they have partially chlorotic leaf - other leaf is green or partially green leaf - in this occasion, plants will survive?

The soil mix's have no limerock - it just mass, thanks.

If the plant is really albino it will soon be dead. Albinos cannot photosynthesize light so no way to get energy. If it is only variegated it could survive.

just reduce the ph before the energy of the seed runs out.

You still have some time to make things right...salvation is still possible.  ;D

 Some seedlings are just weaker and less adapted to a particular growing situation.

 You could just focus your energy on those that are stronger and doing better. That's
 one of the positive things of raising seedlings. You get some that are weaker but there's
 also a chance to get a winner.

About planting seedlings: when planting a lot of seeds you will always observe some that are runts, the weaklings of the batch. Depending on plant it usually runs about 5-10% are runts. In nursery operations these are usually discarded as they tend to be more disease prone and usually will make a lot less fruit. When planting and having only very few seeds, like in this case only 3, there is a tendency to want to raise them all to maturity. Sometimes the runts can surprise you and eventually spring back and produce well, but this is usually rare.
