On my 2nd grow here. Growing Afghan Kush Autoflowers. I have 3 at Day 15 2 are very healthy one is healthy but growing abnormally. There not stretching, soil is good, lights are good. Two are nice compact leaves, the 3rd the leaves are growing narrow, theres spacing between them..no stretching of the stem though. Its growing at the same rate as the others its just weird looking. Is it a runt or something? Any thoughts? Included two pics. One of the odd ball and another of its sister looking normal.
Zinc Deficiencies \tDeficiencies appear as chlorosis in the inter-veinal \tareas of new leaves producing a banding appearance as seen in figure 18. \tThis may be accompany reduction of leaf size and a shortening between \tinternodes. Leaf margins are often distorted or wrinkled. Branch terminals \tof fruit will die back in severe cases. \tAlso gets locked out due to high pH. Zn, Fe, and Mn \tdeficiencies often occur together, and are usually from a high pH. Don't \toverdo the micro-nutrients- lower the pH if that's the problem so the \tnutrients become available. Foliar feed if the plant looks real bad. Use \tchelated zinc. Zinc deficiency produces "little leaf" in many species, \tespecially woody ones; the younger leaves are distinctly smaller than \tnormal. Zinc defeciency may also produce "rosetting"; the stem fails to \telongate behind the growing tip, so that the terminal leaves become tightly \tbunched. whats the runoff of the runt? bet its high
You would bet right my friend. Just tested the run off and was ph 5.0. I flushed it and half strength nuted it. Hopefully it will clear up. Should know since baby mj grows fast! Its odd my other ones are not experiencing that. Same bag of FF Ocean soil. Same everything. Oh well.
Well my plant continues to grow retarded. Its now just plain ugly. The other ones which were germinated at the same time, planted from the same soil from the same bag are vibrant green and look normal. I am thinking of just tossing it its hideous looking.
Naw man .. let her hang in there and see what happens. I had one of my two current autos look almost exactly like that at that same stage and now it's the best of the two .. and the second one looks really awesome so go figure. Using the same soil, too.
Yea I think I will doesnt hurt anything just so fing ugly like its repulsive now lol. My others are looking great..compact, green. I am not over nuting or even using nutes at this point, not over watering only have once for the other 2! Its just retarded only way to describe it. I would accept some nute deficiency if it was further along but at this point no. Just a retarded plant.
Hey, just sub'd your journal .. Very nice setup you have there. You're all set bro, no worries. That little bitch will be just fine
