Ok so this is my second season, last year went ok but i started a few months too late. This year i started April 1st. Now 8 weeks into veg growth im starting to notice the top section of this specific strain is starting to curl dramatically. I've seen this in minor scale but nothing like this. Im not sure what causes this or fixes it. any advice would be much appricated.

oh yeah, i just topped this particular plant about 6 days ago, as you can some what see in the last picture i posted. Is it possible that topping caused the deformation?

man thats a tuff one...was it fimmed or regular topped, cause i know when i've FIMmed plants they get wierd scars on the leaves... it could just be a mutation too..but that's a little less common.

might try mixing a little lime into your soil right before your next watering. about 3 tbls.

Hope some else pops in I'm not sure lime is the one it might be epsoms salt. I can't find the post that helped mine when they were doing that. As with mine it's probley not a big deal but it is a lack of something.

lime is for ph also it has mag and cal, and epson is for mag..without calcium avilable to his plant it could cause those leaves to contort.

so use the lime then since it contains cal and mag? i have epson but no lime right now. Should i use lime, if so where would be a good place to get it

It was Mr Howard Marx or Dr. dank that helped me out. It was one of the two. I've used both at times. My memory just sucks now days.

anyone care to dabble into this problem of mine.. I'd be grateful :-)
I am just taking a stab at this because I have not had this problem. I think it is over fertilized which is stunting growth. For being in veg for 8 weeks, they should be a lot bigger and fuller. Even if your only using a few cfl's. How much do you fertilize it and how often? What kind of soil do you use?
