Basil like leaves

Hopefully someone can help me out here... I am running two 4x8 sunhuts (similar to Hydro huts). both are the same set up, except one has two digi 600w and the other has two digi 1000w. Both are air cooled with a vortex 459cfm fan. intake is a 164cfm fan. two 12 inch fans provide the air circulation. The temperature stays between 68 and 75, humidity is between 65 to 75, going higher(85%) when the co2 is running...ebb n flow w/ a 4x8 flood table, 100g res. Co2 five times a day, intake and out take shut off for 30 minute intervals, room reaches 1500ppm co2 in 15, then fans turn on and clears rooms 15 minutes later... I am using supernatural aquagrow and aquabloom, a b vitamin tonic (organic equivelant to superthrive), and i brew my own tea which provides benificial micro-organisms, enzymes, etc. i add SR 71, which provides co-enzymes for the micro organisms and miccorhizae. I foliar feed with a humic tea (Mad Farmer NUTS) and pest control with neem oil. My ph is at ~5.6. This round i am growing 44 island fruits in each hut, which are a cross of island sweet skunk and juicyfruits. The strain is relatively stable, displaying only two phenotypes, at least in the room i saw them in. They are in 1 gallon coco pots with roots organic soiless medium (coco, perlite, bat guano, leonardite, etc). the pots are resting on a 1 inch coco matt, which allows for the roots to expand throughout it. I got the clones when they were 20 days into flowering, which isnt unusual, as they tend to veg out bushier... However, as the plants have reverted to vegatative grwth, i have noticed that some of the new growth looks like a basil leaf and most of the leaves have only one blade instead of the usual 7... im worried that they could be stressed out, and eventually herm on me... any ideas of how to avoid this situation?? Is it really that bad?

It sounds like your humidity is quite high for flowering... with an enclosed system like a hydrohut you might consider a dehumidifier set up outside your hut and piped through one of the ventilation openings this will save you a lot of problems with white powdery mildew now and bud-rot later on in flowering

i have had a few plants which grew out single leaflet leaves in the past that happens when a plant gets stressed due to irregular light schedule or other light induced stress
keep the humidity in the right ranges and the lights on schedule.... i wish you luck

Swiss Miss,

I broke a bud off of one of my TrainWreck plants when it was 4 weeks into flower. Just for the fun of it I cut the stem at a 45 degree angle with snips, and threw it into a Rapid Rooter, with nothing else.. Not even Rooting Hormone. This is a picture if it when it was first rooting. the second picture is of it today. until it got to about 6 inches tall it looked almost Alian. Single twisting leafs shooting all over the place. Now it looks Normal, exept there is still that bud at the base of it still. If you look close at the base of the plant in the second to last picture you will see what is left of the BUD itself.

I thought it was a good learning experiment on what it takes to clone. I have had trouble in the past cloneing, but this time it was tap water and just placed a glass over it. and dripped a little more tap water on it every 2-3 days. I even forgot about it a few times and the rapid rooter was dry and hard.
