leaves twisting sideways in coco

yobbocrack · Sep 28, 2022

I got this fem kush in coco and i have seen this leaf twisting in my previous grows and it starts around early flower and can continue through out but it seems to happen only to lower to mid fan outer leaves i did a google search and couldn't find any info i can see a twist in the petiole it twists back and forth daily apart from that it looks healthy.

I would think it was from too much light intensity but all your leaves are praying and look like it’s spot on …. Strange

In a different substrate, I've seen fan leaves do that when the plant was thirsty.

light is a MH fc3000 at 12" and 75% dim = about 700 par the leaves look good from morning to night it doesn't seem serious maybe one day i will figure out the twist.

it get feed liquid nutrient 3 times a day during light on with runoff it shouldn't be a problem with steady evaporation rate and the enviroment has good temps/humidity/air.

if i know the science with petiole twisting then can make a change to fix it looks stressed but there is only a few fan leaves that do it.

This is usually caused my pH fluctuations, overwatering or pests. What has your pH been? Have you been adjusting it? Has it been a constant pH? What is your watering schedule like? Also, have you checked for any pests on the underside of the leaves?

i am using a digital pH meter that gets calibrated regularly i have set to 5.8 since sprout and have not changed since its been consistent, watering/feeding 3 times a day light on..i doubt overwatering, the only pest a few gnats that i got rid of,

I’m still pretty sure this is a pH issue causing the plant to not take up Mg properly. I’ll let others chime in, but that’s my answer.

it looks more settled after lights on but will twist during the day.
I turned up the inline fan speed a bit maybe more air exchange will improve it

i doubled the inline fan speed and the leaves stopped twisting i should of done this a month ago its had the same inline fan speed since sprout.

yobbocrack · Sep 29, 2022

it still twisting, it could be facing light direction or something else only few fan leaves do it.

cut it off

Exact same thing has happened to me in two separate soil grows. Something in the environment is not right. Maybe rh or VPD is out of whack.

Never figured it out.

ive had it but dont take any notice of it.plants not affected by it so its nothing to b concerned about...plant looks really good

beluga · Sep 30, 2022

I'm noticing that the leaves toward the trunk of the plant are droopy as well.
And if it temporarily resolved the issue to up the airflow, I'm wondering if it might be a transpiration issue.
How's the humidity in there?

i don't cut during bloom

ok about 50%

thanks for the comments and ideas but i reckon the breeder/genetics of this feminized seed in not very good my last grow was with sensi seed and that was in a 3x2 cupboard and it blew away what i am growing now in cola size my next grow will be another sensi seed maybe it will be better.

I 2nb that and it's in flower

sportyridr · Sep 30, 2022

I have and have had a few leaves like this and currently do, never gave it a second thought as it only seems to happen when I have topped but removed the first nodes that would not amount to much, the nodes on the branches then get out of sequence like a clone...this is when I see the leaf twisting...

all the hub bub about something being wrong is nothing...plants look great, flower them babies out and make some fire

as for being a pH, that's a firm NO here...also high humidity doesn't twist leaves from my experience

agreed

i guess it must be a topped plant related issue it gets so bushy and does weird twisting
i put in a 200w 3000k board as well, but seriously for day 30 of bloom this bloom is small my last grow had better genetics but i have to finish this it at least its got some trichomes
