Someone help me please!?!? Weird abnormal growth twisted

[daniel15slas]

If using distilled or RO..Cal-mag is highly recommended..especially under LEDs. Just my 2 cents...

Thank you for your input I will buy some

That could be the case.
On a personal note; I haven't had much luck with Auto's, they never seem to look healthy to me as the get into flowering, maybe I just had some shitty strains of autos, but I won't bother with them anymore. And I never grew one that had a pleasant taste.

Any recommendation of fems?

I like Ace, RQS, Tropical seed company. I also deal with a couple other direct breeders.

I will invest in those the next time I go about growing again.

Agree plus is pH is too high so the first thing that's going to lock-out is often calcium. Also no talk of PPM?

The skinny curly New Growth suggest nitrogen may be involved as well as pH, can't tell for sure in purple pictures

I suggest you cut your nutes back until you start monitoring PPM also adjust your pH to 6.5 for soil. After making these adjustments carefully observe the new growth I suspect it will straighten itself out

Once you make the pH corrections this might be one of those rare occasions where a light flush might also help straightened things out, and by light I mean about 2x the normal feed volume

Btw Twisted growth is stunted growth

PH is too high 6.5 is generally best for soil,

PPM is 450 -550, I wrote it in there.

Okay that's pretty low, I'd maintained that level. so with that eliminated I suspect it's pH fluctuations causing thin and stunted new growth. I would adjust my pH to 6.5, as a general rule 6.5 seems to be the sweet spot for many soils. Also search Dolomite lime and see if it's right for your application, I haven't seen it hurt anything so far and it forgives a lot of mistakes! Good luck

I personally have been purchasing regular seeds and finding the females to avoid hermaphrodites. I have noticed an increase in hermaphrodites in feminized seeds these days. But if you want Female seeds, there are thousands to choose from.

Thanks I'll be sure to do so.
