No other nutes or additives, other than the MG Organic, kelp and fish guts? I'd get a regular nutrient regimin that has been proven for cannabis. (Fox Farms, Botanicare, General Hydroponics...)

Do the bottles say to add the kelp and fish emulsion with every-other watering? If so...what are the brands...? I'd like to have a look. (organics break-down slower than the chemical nutes, so last longer)

alaska fertilizer, indoor plants 2 tsp per qt. water as usual

but i use about that per gallon with a generic maxicrop type liquid that seems to work fine on everything else and been so for about 10 years, a couple tweaks here and there but nothing drastic. i occasionally add some karm and molasses also at a tsp per gal. with everyother feeding

only one out of the five seeds is like that although 3 others have very minor similar traits but the 4 other mothers have nothing wrong.

ive used gh fox farms and bc but my dirty mothers didnt seem to like those types of nutes. the clones on the other hand usually go into a peat based soilless and they luv it and i used them up until about a year ago when i started playing with organics and found a tea that goes in at every water that gives me almost identical results as synthetic and then one day i decided to add some beastie blooms to it and that kicked it in the ass but thats just an anecdote about flower nutes

edit i dont usually use mg i prefer O.F. from F.F. but my limited budget and need to uppot forced a subsitution although i dont believe this is the prob cause i wet and mixed soil prior and only 1 has the trait

Kelp and fish emulsion have shitloads of micro's, as does Maxicrop. I think I'd start there. Although the N-P-K ratios may be in line for cannabis, too many micronutes and heavy metals can also do damage.

Alaska Fish Fert? The 5-1-1? It's ph buffered to 4.5 with phosphoric acid. Speaking of which...do you adjust your water, or is it 7 out of the tap? You look to be at the upper limits, so I wouldn't let it stray higher.

I think kelp has sulphur already, so make sure you use unsulphured molasses.

organic unsulphered blackstrap the kind my horsey used to like

and its 7 out of the tap\

yeah i used to ph down to 6 like that other dude when i started using the peat for flower, being soilless and all, but they would do great till about week 6, it would take almost 5 weeks to show ph problem and down the shitter then i quit messin with the ph and kept where it was at after the nutes brought it down 6.5-6.8 and the problem stopped

thanks for the input seems like your the only one takin a shot.

7.0 isn't bad pre-nutes. But it doesn't look like a ph issue. It does look like the leaves are retaining water, though. Have you tried Mydol? (kidding)

I'm not much into organics, but I do know they break-down slower, which acts like a time-release for the nutes, metals and micros. I'm just wondering if the micro's (or metals) are slowly accumulating...? Have you flushed lately? Using fresh soil?

Have you tried eliminating one suppliment/additive at a time? The molasses would be the first I'd ditch till it get's figured-out. Then the kelp or fish fert. What did you change, just before the symptoms began?

No foliar sprays that could clog the pores? No overwatering? No voodoo or misread incantations...? (never hurts to ask...)

the soil is new about a month into transplant but the plant had sings of this prior to transplant and post trnsplant. she is still growing and keeping up with the others but she does seem to be a bit of a runt.

yeah ive flushed her until she was pale and added only fish crap til she greened and the same thing funny leaves never changed.

on occaision ill spray 1-40 neem & soap mix

there is a key question missing in the form

You mentioned that the others are showing similar signs, but to a lesser extent tho? This is a sign to me that although only one is 'runting', the problem is common to all, in varying degrees.

Are you by chance running CO2 or running a sulphur pot, lol? (any additional equipment?)

About the Neem oil. A single application occationally, or a couple of applications back-to-back? Is Neem a permenant part of your schedule? Do you raise the lights till dry, or do you rinse-off the residue?

Old leaves usually never repair. Best I've seen is that they green-up. But usually the plant will not repair leaves, so likely you won't see any improvements till the new growth shows.

Would be nice to have seperate troubleshooting forms for hydro and soil, with a few minor alterations...and I'll bet I could find a few things missing from the troubleshooting form too, but what are you specifically refering to, lol?

no co2 yet or sulphur

the neem only gets used when i see signs of them damn mites generally 2 sprays 5-7 days apart with a rinse or not depending on the amount of spray used but usually its light and every other month or if there is substantial new growth like shortly after a cloning.

Strain (if known): vanilluna is what these are

92.375% of the time strain isn't as important as the phenotype. (some numbers fudged to simulate actual knowledge) But yup...that could be included. Along with growers experience level, whether it's their first crop, quality of the genetics (bagseed or seed botique) brand of medium...

For the most part, I treat all my indica doms the same, and since my sativa doms are more sensitive to nutes in flower than the indica's, they are handled a tad different. But not all that different...just less nutes in flower, and a longer flowering cycle.

Have you tried eliminating all non-essentials, and see if there is any improvement? (anything other than the nutrients) If you had success for the past ten years, (with cannabis, right?) what has changed, and why? What have you stopped using, or what did you start using, what isn't available any more, so a substitute is now used...? Are you mixing mediums mid-crop?

Still, my intuition tells me it's likely the micro's and metals in the molasses, the kelp, the Liquid Karma and the fish goop. Were I you, I'd look up the ingredients of those products, and see what you are really adding to your regimin.
Fish goop...hmmmm. Possible mercury poisoning, lol? (or did you break a CFL bulb in the growroom?)
