First Grow! Looking For Guidance & Advice Throughout This Journey

[thatguymike]

Hey guys so im having a really weird problem and im not sure what to do. As you can see some of the newest growth is twisting around itself and i cant for the life of me figure out why. i tried just giving it water the last 2 feeds but it’s still happening. any advice???

Everything looks healthy - I don’t see spots or burnt tips. I’m not a pro by any means but I would guess heat stress? Maybe try moving your lights back a little as your plants grow. Blowing a fan between your plants and the light can help also

idk if u can tell as well in the third photo but there’s a couple spots on the smaller three finger leaf, i’ve raised the light a bunch but i’ll do it some more and see what happens. should i get rid of the spotty leaf and the twisted new growth?? or just wait and see?

Just wait. Pulling them could slow things down.

Hey buddy!
Do you have a fan circulating air in your grow area? A fan could help with hot spots
Im not sure what is causing the strange growth, but it looks like a response to stress. Perhaps put the lights even higher?
Because they are so young, I wouldnt bother getting rid of any leaves, it could cause a stunt in growth

Hey man! I do have a fan going pretty much 24/7 (i turn it off sometimes if it gets too cold, but only for a little while) and i just raised my light a shit ton lol im praying to the cannagods now. She’s growing but not untwisting and the newer growth has already decided it’s going to twist as well here’s a couple pics to show u how wild this is. I just want a nice full canopy

 

[Featherleaf]

Hopefully given a few days, the new growth eventually untwists. Raising the lights should help a lot.
The leaves may never return to their shape, but hopefully the new growth comes out fine.
I wouldnt worry TOO much, given what I have seen before. I got a monster cropped clone once, and the growth coming out of that thing was mutated for almost a month. But eventually, the new growth started producing normal leaves and nodes.
Dont be discouraged!

 

[thatguymike]

Hey everybody!!!

So they untwisted!!!! They look a little weird still but at least they arent shying away. The new growth is also twisting now tho, and a bunch of the smaller growths just look kinda weird as well and i have some gnarly yellowing on one of the bottom leaves. Otherwise she’s growing and getting bigger she’s just looking a little sickly for whatever reason

 

[Featherleaf]

Is that fan blowing directly onto the plant?
Wondering if it may be a humidity problem, air too dry??

Yeah it was, i moved it so that its not didectly in it anymore so we’ll see if that helps, i’m just so baffled lol

 

[Featherleaf]

Good good, that may have been the issue.
When conditions are dry, plants can twist like that. Similar to how our lips can dry and crack when they are too dry.

Looks fine to me could just be the bean is weird ? Back the light's down a bit . Stop the stretch. Not so close your hand is uncomfortable above them. Might as well start tying them down a bit? i epically fail to lst early usually but seems like it would help.

 

[thatguymike]

Hey guys! So @Kismet gave me the idea to LST and that’s what i did. Not sure if this is too much but the new 7 fingers are starting to turn themselves around and curl a little so im trying something new, as this twisting problem persists>. pretty ugly looking i know but im just using what i got lol, verrrryyyy low on money right now. Let me know if I did anything wrong lmao!!

 

[thatguymike]

Sorry for the double post, but I’ve done some research and I think my problem might he my pH. Since transferring to the new pot, I’ve had trouble keeping my pH at 5.8-6.1 because it hasn’t gone under 6.5. I’m thinking a flush is in order? I guess I didn’t water the new pot enough with pHd water to get it where I want and now it wont go down. Any suggestions? I dont want to lose this lady

 

[Kismet]

How are you coming along Mike?

 

[thatguymike]

@Kismet not too well man. She seems to be getting worse and i'm running out of things to try. She did start showing preflowers a couple days back though, which has been my only positive sign I've seen from her in a long while. I've tried raising the light, I increased nutes, added small cal mag doses, LST and still nothing good. This is what she looks like now (prepare yourself, it's not good) and I want to transplant her to the smart pot soon but not so sure If i should do that while she's looking like this.

 

[Kismet]

Not sure on this one let me ask someone more experienced @Pennywise @AngryBird ?

 

[Pennywise]

Where to start? It's not getting enough light, all the growth is stretching trying to get closer to the light. I'm guessing ph is out of range, there could be root damage .

If it was me I would cut my losses. The 8 to 10 weeks it takes to flower would be better spent on figuring what went wrong and starting over hopefully growing a healthy little lady.
