Looks terrible but grows fast and smells amazing

No matter what I do to this plant gets worse at first I thought it was a nutrient deficiency but it never got better so I started adding nutrients and now it is really bad also I have not been over-watering as i have the mother this came off of with the same problem. Also it had this problem when i cloned it. Additionally it seems to grow just as fast as the healthy looking plants i have right next to it and it smells amazing, this one lottle plant stinks up the whole veg space

At on point i thought maybe a K deficiency and zinc bit now i do not know.

If anyone has any clue as to how to correct this that would be great.

What medium is it in, and what are you feeding I with and how often?

Some plants are goofy, but I see at least nitrogen toxicity in he dark green clawing leaves. New growth looks a little better so maybe that was during the nutrient dumping phase, lol.

This plant was rooted in FF light warrior soil with no amendments. It is still in this soil and 2 weeks ago it started growing and i was just watering with well water to keep the soil lightly moist and then letting it dry before adding more. I just started adding nutrients at half straight about 4 days ago 2 times now since i thought light warrior was a mild soil it might be nutrient deficient. I am using master blend hydroponic fertilzer. I normally only use organic inputs but was using this fertilizer in hopes of it saving my plant as i have had good luck growing with this in the past before i decided to try going organic. Also the mother is showing the same issue since seed and it is growing out doors.

I like the idea of flushing but was worried it might starve the plant because of the soil its in.

Perhaps it may be the plant itself. This last crop i had was a slurricane run. About half of my plants dies before they even reached a foot tall. Was just yellow and stringy as hell. So these were supposed to be part of a perpetual grow and remain in veg until my King Louis were at least 4 weeks. So instead i just flipped them all at the same time and once they hit their strech( slurricane) they normalized and flowered like crazy. No where near the yield i was looking for, as they were only 12 inches tall before flip. Hope that helps

Flushing is for toilets and hydro. Not soil.

Let it dry well and then water only till first signs of runoff. Maybe use some yucca or dish soap if your soil is hydrophobic. Don't over water, that is the worst thing you can do. Your plants will be fine they are young.

I have really always been curious as to why so many people see leaves clawing a bit and immediately jump to the conclusion it is nitrogen toxicity. There are many other reasons it can happen. Humidity levels, combined with temperature (or VPD) being off can cause it to happen. Too much air movement from fans will cause it. Root zone temperature being to low can too. And also being in too small a container. Too little P or K......
Just don't flush that (or any other) plant.

I would first let the medium dry out a bit if its still moist. Then water it with plain water mixed with one teaspoon of epsom salts per gallon. I would also do a foliar spray with the same water/epsom mix.

When you move it to a new pot, use a good medium (I like Fox Farms, Happy Frog and Ocean Forest). Add in some extra (plain) perlite and don't feed it any fertilizer(except maybe one time right after the move, a mild, 1/2 strength root booster) for a few weeks.
I would also keep an eye on your humidity, temperature and watering.
Dont sweat it either. It will probably pull right on through. I've had friends whose plants looked way worse at that age and still had great results come harvest time.
Good luck friend!

That's interesting maybe I'll try flowering this clone since I just pulle4d another one off the mother if you did go a few days ago

My light set up is a Mars hydro ts2000 and a SF2000. I also have and array or CFLs i use for clones and small plants. This clone was under the CFL lights.

Sorry meant to say I pulled another clone a few days ago.... I'm new here and don't see a way to edit my last post

I just checked VPD and I am getting a reading of about 0.95 - 1.00 Kpa which seems a little bit High For This stage of growth but I wouldn't think that would cause this issue Maybe im wrong

Temp at cannapy 78F
Rh 56%
Leaf Temp 75.5F

Also i am using an emissivity of 0.95 for the IR temp reading.

Well you are on top of this. That is cool.

Now I have had some (2) Alien Rock Candy growing that were acting a little upset like your plant seems to be. All the while I had two Sour Banana Sherbet and one Double Durban Kush were just loving life. Humidity and temperature were all squared up as was evident from the three other plants.
Just to see what would happened I dropped the temp a few degrees and a couple days later increased the humidity a little and let and the issue went away. And it didn't hurt the other plants development.
It doesn't sound like you have given it too much nitrogen. And unless you're roots are getting crowded. That's what I would try first. That and the epsom salts.
But anyway I hope you get her straightened out or it just grows out of it! Good luck friend!

Hi everyone. I’m a first time autoflower grower. I have 9 going now outdoors. I have one that is northern lights x big bud auto. The leaves seem to be funky looking. Idk if you can see in this pic I will try to get a better pic. But it’s the far back left one. If you look you can see the leaves in question. Tia.

I know we're not on great terms, but that was golden man. I was about to say pretty much the same thing, lol.

In his defense. I think he did say to only do it to the biggest buds, lol.
