Are four point leaves bad genetics???

:rastasmoke:

E-indoor
E-soil
E-specific medium-Ocean FLoor
CSL-Soil type/brand-FoxFarm
SCL-Anything you have added to the soil-Vigoro 16-4-8 (very very light dose)
SCLR-6.5
E-Water source-Distilled
E-Source water pH-?
E-Age of plant-2-3 months
E-Type of fertilizer-FoxFarm<GrowBig><TigerBloom>
E-Rate of application-3x a week and foliar feeding
E-Lighting source and distance from plant-600w SPL <3ft.>
E-Air temperature (both day and night if you are running a dark period)
DAY 76ish-NIGHT 70ish
HD-Reservoir temperature-?
E-Air % Relative humidityN/A
E-Lighting schedule-16-8
E-Type of ventilation your room has-open air vented
TR-Did you pre-soak your media in pH corrected solution? NO

Im not exactlly sure, what type of light an SPL? is, but if that plant is 2-3 months old, I would say it is either not getting enough light or too much fertz by the size of it. A plant that size probably shouldn't get nutes 3x a week. As for the even number leaf sets, I have heard they are a sign of stress. Can't be sure though.

Since I'm a n00b, I haven't earned "2 cents" yet, so here's my "1 cent" advice.

I have a fair amount of experience with plants -- just not the awesomeness that is MJ. As the above poster noted, the plant is undersized and not in the best of health for its age.

Due to my status, I can only parrot what Ms. Stinkyattic and the other grow gurus tell everyone in the various FAQs available as a sticky at the top of each forum. (Do yourself a huge favor and read them and follow them.)

MJ is very picky about the pH of its growing medium and its water/nutes. Since you did not fill out the pH information in the troubleshooting form, I assume (I know, I know, ASS U ME) you don't know it/haven't checked it. Once pH is off, everything goes to hell so to speak and adding more water/nutes/supplements just makes things worse.

The consistent results you see from the experienced growers on the forums and in the grow logs comes from attention to all the large and small details.

End advice,
Crabby

Since you asked about genetics, what strain(s) are you growing?

cb :jointsmile:

u know what, i was blazed i have a 400w hps and i am over nuting the plant, i am growin various beester strains right now but they are practice for the thai x skunk hybrids i really want to start, but i am over nuting, and i assure you the plant is getting way sufficient light.one reason that the growth may have been stunted was because i started growth in a kind of haggard lilbox setup and then i went and spent the money.another is that i have lst'd the plant from the get go.either way, im gonna flood the resivoir tonight. is there anywhere in particular that sells the soil ph test kits?everywhere i go people look at me like im dumb.i am going by the feeding levels on the bottles, and i think the vigoro needs to go.:stoned:

i have a plant like that 1 of 8. Nothing wrong i dont think, my plant is doing fine only had one leaf do that.

I think sometimes you do get the odd plant that has genetic annomalies. Not necessarily BAD genetics though. You dont really know wether they are bad or good annomalies until you flower the plant. If it has a strange number of leaf points all over the plant, id say its probably genetic. If it only happens to a few leaves, more likley its been caused by maybe stress or just the way that plant develops. All seeds are individuals and will display differences but I'd personally want to grow the 'wierd' plants more out of curiosity.

i think you guys are more right, just that it was a strange occurrance rather than a nuting problem, i have 3 different solutions, a tigerbloom sloution geared towards heavy feeding to instructions (distilled), a grow big and tiger bloom solution (distilled), and a spray solution for foliar feeding using a very lie tiger bloom adjustment(distilled).they are used in a rotation the gb&tb are once a week, the tb only is monthly and i do foliar feeding whenever i feel it is necesssary, mj is never hungry. o and p.s. my p.h. was 6.8 so im good, i dont think shes sick at all, just special.:jointsmile:

yea my new leaf set are 5-5.:jointsmile:

Hi All!!!!!!:thumbsup:

jguttagetbent, Don't worry about a 4pointer, if it cuts back to 1 then worry:D

I love Fox Farm!!!

:hippy:

PS if using distilled use some Cal-Mag

word im already up on the feeding schedule and i am pretty damn satisfied with the whole foxfarm line.my next go round imma play with the soluble nutes like the beastie blooms and cha-ching i just havnt gotten to s starting point with that.:smokin: i will post more growth pics verysoon, i added one more small supplement right on the rim of the pot to get into the center foliage of it, i have a brand spankin new leaf set again, and again 5-5, i dont think this plant is doin bad at all.:stoned:

Some of my first leaves were like that and the plants all grew out of it and became 9 and 11 leafers as they got older.

its just a small bushy lil dude but itll be great.new pics.:vader1:

if you are using actuall distilled water you need to be using cal-mag
