this is a white widow auto, the leaves look strange, what is the likley cause, and how to fix it?.

Seems like a lot going on there. At first guess I would say over fed and light too intense. I don't really grow autos inside anymore but there are some excellent auto growers here that can help but will need more info. What medium your using, what kind of light and how close, feeding, watering, etc.

Could be over-watered or overfed and let's make sure it isn't being fed nitrogen beyond trace amounts for support now that plant is flowering. Nitrogen will give you a downward curl and suppress bud development.

You might notice the purple blush showing on a couple leaves. In this scenario that points to your soil staying too moist and root oxygen levels have been affected which choked out some of your phosphorus uptake... Plant responded by dropping anthocyanin in where it encountered deficiency. It might be a couple things but getting better oxygen to the root zone is a good first step. Cold roots and wet roots both look rather similar, and similar deficiency pathways are affected. So, let the weight of the pot get a little lighter before you water and only trace nitrogen now that you're in flower. Best of luck with the remainder of the grow!

the lights are cheap aliexpress leds mounted on a board about 30cm above the plant, i water 10cl every two days with a mix of tomato feed 10ml to 10ltrs of water

the soil mix is regular potting compost.

Hello, how are you? I have grown a few autos in the past. I see you wear one member up top said maybe too much watering and the light might be too low. I have to agree with that. Looks like he might have the claw that could be caused by several things. If your plants get too much water and they can’t dry out, I see your container has holes drilled through it, even though that will cause carbon monoxide to form in your container. Your RH could be a little low also. Auto’s to me are hard to grow can’t say I’ve never grown them. Just not good at it. Good luck. They’re very particular plants sometimes they say they’re good for beginners. To me, I’ll take a regular seed any day. I don’t know. Seems like I can get it done just as fast. I know you said something about your lights being cheap. It doesn’t matter. I have cheap lights also. One of my best lights.

i have about 10 light strips on a 2x2 board, its powered with 2x 100w 24v solar panels via a buck converter down to 5v from 24v, that way the lamps come on during daylight hours so no timer needed and its free lighting.

forgot to say ive been giving it canna pk/13/14 for the last couple of weeks also mixed as per the instructions on the bottle.

The PK 13/14 changes the picture. CANNA intends it for only 3-6 days, not several weeks, and you’ve been adding it on top of tomato feed. Stop both feeds for now. Give plain water slowly across the whole surface until a little drains out, then wait until the pot feels light before watering again. 100 ml every two days is too little for that container and can leave salts concentrated in one small wet area.
