Plant is producing 1/4 sized leaves
 
Good evening everyone, recently, the last two leaves have been almost a 1/4 the size of the regular leaves. There is also a red streak in the last two leaves not in the other leaves. Is this a deficienecy of some sort?



Climate, temp, humidity hasn't changed the last few weeks, just changed from banana fuel to the grow more fertilizer within the last two weeks.

Congrats Pwbum1, what you're seeing is a good thing, not a bad thing. The leaves get smaller right before the bloom comes out. The last leaf before the bloom is called the flag leaf.

In the last pic you see the flag leaf and the tip of the flower bud coming out. The bud will be full of color, as you can already see.
