New Growth On Clones Is Distorted

[Helpme123]

Hi guys.

This is my first time posting in a forum. I have a tray of clones where all of the clones look great, except for 3 that have mangled new growth that looks like something has been chewing on it.

I have checked for russet mites, broad mites, any type of mites under my professional microscope and I can confirm that the plants are pest-free. The roots are beautiful, long, fluffy, and bright white, so it’s not a root rot issue.

I use Clonex solution to dip the clones at a dilution rate of 30ml per gallon, which puts me at about 650 PPM with a water pH of 6.0.

Temperature in my room stays between 75-80F, and humidity ranges from 65-75. I use Luxx clone LEDs.

There are no bugs in the room at all, but it looks like something is eating the leaves…I doubt they just do that on their own. I dissected the stem on this plant and found no evidence of any systemic pests like caterpillars.

Any idea what could be causing this? As I mentioned, the rest of the tray looks great and doesn’t have signs of this happening.

are they established in the rooters ? if so i'd up pot and watch to rule out root and nute problems. check your light for how close and how hot. there's a lot of things it could be. sometimes they work it out. sometimes it's disaster.

the twisted growth suggests pest issues. but it's way early. if it's cannabis mites you won't see them. and there will be nothing but burn it all you can do. not convinced we are there yet. twisted growth is the worst to see.
