Nute problem or just getting old...

[Megatron]

I have two OG Kush clones as some of you might know. I noticed that some of the leaves, no particular pattern, are spiraling. Its hard to explain, they are twisted in a spiral shape. I was told by my local hydro guy that this is a sign of genetics getting to old. he asked if it was a clone and if it was over three yrs old. It is I replyed and he said that is prolly your problem. That plants can deform a little in that same manner, if they are getting old. i.e. a clone of a clone of a clone ect. Any one ever experience this when dealing with clone only, or older genetics?

Also I might add that the leaves dont have any legions, burn marks, or chlorosis, just the occasional spiral leave. And on the leaves, it will only happens to the middle finger, not the other 4-6 fingers on the leaves. weird, i know.... laterz..

well since no one answered, and i have no experience i went to my ask Ed book...Ed says that genetic weakness can occur over a span of time when one is crossing or breeding genetics...clones are the exact replica of their mother and have no genetic weakness but are identical to the mother...so if you're mother doesn't have the problem then its probably something wrong with nutes, ph, etc...its also possible your plants could have picked up a disease during cloning which has now polluted the line with an underlying disease...just did a lil research but i honestly have no expeience with cloning...i'm one of the few who like the variety given within a particular pack of F-1's because each plant has its own unique qualities...i like variety in my smoke

some strains are very sensitive to nutes and if given too much will spiral....
also, is there any chance your light cycle got messed up? if you let something go into flowering and then push it back to vegging leaves can spiral

My Jock Horror does that. I think, at least for Jock Horror, that's just the way it is. It hasn't seemed to harm anything: yield is fine, taste is fine, potency is fine. So I just quit sweating it. I figure if I start adding this nute or subtracting that nute, that will likely lead to me doing more harm than good, and since it's caused no problems, I'm not messin' with 'em, personally.

I run OG Kush 'abusive' and it is a funky looking plant to begin with. Do you have pics? Do you know which of the 3 lines it came down from? Abusive, San Fernando Valley, or Ghost?

I will try to post the pics I have tonight. I have no idea what line it follows stinky. This is the same OG Kush I was telling you about in the other thread, the one that the the guy claimed it to be a purple pheno. I think we decided on it being a cross of OG Kush and a unknown purple strain. Only real way to tell is to flower some clones and have some buds to test out. Any one want to help me smoke it? hehehe I guess it would be hard to tell if it has real OG Kush in it or not since I have never smoked any OG kush before. Hey stinky, what does your abusive taste and smell like? Currently with the plant in veg, it smells stronger then some other plants in flower!!! Its a really strong skunk oder. Like a actual skunk, rather than a skunky planty smell that so many other bud plants have in veg.

Megatron, I only just acquired the cuts and the first flower cycle is not yet complete- gimme a couple weeks?
