    I'm kinda new to making things grow, started a few months ago.

    I'm not sure it's a real problem but my avocado leaves looks kinda weird. No brown spot, nothing drying out.

    Here's how they look :

    Normal or not ? From the pictures on the net, it doesnt look at all the same shape...

    Also, i forgot to pinch the top off for that one, will see how it goes and will do maybe later

    Problem might be sun, water, fertlizer ( used a few jobes plant food spikes 13-4-5 )

    Most likely it just needs more sun. Do it gradually though so the leaves don't scorch.

    Yeah, sadly i dont have enought lights in my apartment.

    Big window but it gets direct sunlight for about an hour a day. Sun kinda get blocked from buildings around for most of the afternoon...

    Bought a small lamp but i guess it's not enough. Or it needs a little time to adjust ? Have had the light for about 4 days now.

    18'' fluorescent t8 daylight ( 6500k, about 750 lumens )

    How much light should i give it using that kind of setup ? Lamp is about 6 inch from the plant.

    Thanks a lot !

    Here's another picture of my avocado tree.

    It continued to grow, but still have those weird leaves.

    I have another avocado tree just beside, and the leaves are normal. I mean they look like healthy leaves ( flat leaves ).

    But this tree, the leaves are curling downard and onto themselves... I looked for bugs, nada, its not everwatered, soil is draining well... Just one of my avocado is weird but they are grown with the same water, soil, location, light...
