Skinny leaves...Losing My Mind

First post so bear with me
To start off I've completed a handful of grows successfully with the occasionally ph swing but nothing major
This time around I've decided to do some experimenting with the 18 hr days light cycle. To my suprise all the claims I've seen of this light cycle speeding up plant growth seem to be actually pretty true from what I've seen but cannot yet speak on it's increased yield as I am jut beginning to see buds forming but I am having a small setback with the plant. Now to be clear this plant is a clone I've grown this exact plant 2 times before this experiment with exact same feeding schedule, food, lighting everything with the exception of the light cycle being 24 hr days on the first 2. Well what I'm trying to get at is that I'm seeing a lot of skinny leaves but no sign of stress or slowed growth at all. If anything she seems to be growing more. It's actually more of a aggravating the living fuck outta me kinda thing more than a problem would just like to know what may be causing this?
I'm currently in the second week of budding and am feeding
Gh maxi bloom dry 1 1/2 tsp pg
CalMag 1 tsp pg
Unsulphered black strap molasses 1/2 tsp pg
Ph of water to 6.5
Medium is an equal mix of soil and coco with small amount of perlite
Feeding to no waste half gallon every 4 days and giving half gallon ph water every 2
Temp stays between 82-87
Using 6 23w cfl 2700k + 100w mh + 2ft fluorescent tubes on each wall for side lighting
Cabinet grow 2'x2'x5'
I would've made it shorter but I know the more info the better with this stuff. Any responses would be greatly appreciated I'm sure 1 of u sweet leaf specialists can give me a lil insight on what could be causing this bs. Thanks in advance.

Will be posting pics hopefully within next few days after getting camera back getting repaired and forgot to get memory card out dropped it after takin pics of plant

Hey I have to things that may cause your issue. First I can say that from reading numerous threads articles and journals one of the biggest causes of skinny leaves is usually a nitrogen toxicity. Perhaps, you have switched to flowering with to much of your grow nutes still in your soil causing your leaves to narrow out. Does any of your leaves toward the upper portion of your plant have a slight curl to it like crow claws? Second possibility is that your mother plant isn't throwing out as efficient clones she could have maxed her vitality and if so its probably time she's flowered. Both of these answers are me estimating as I don't have any issues but I recommend looking into n tox especially if your growth is real dark green.

skinny leaves??? pics
edit: if their is nothing wrong with the plant, and it looks totally different from the mother look up: phenotype/genotype that might answer your question. Ive taken clones from a mother and gotten diff pheno's. If its hybrid, its most likely showing a more sativa side phenotype.

Not sure I understand how you got different phenos from the same mother?

I was actually kinda leaning toward n toxicity myself but to be honest during the last 2 weeks of veg I started transitioning into the maxibloom by adding 1/4 tsp pg and cutting back in maxigro by 1/4 tsp pg and increased until I was using pure maxibloom
I've noticed a very slight lightening of color on new growth past day or so but don't think it's related but I've been wrong before

Just a scattered few have the claw not enough to rly even catch your attention unless u look for them
Oh and about the mother no way to look it up correctly guess I should have mentioned it's just some old bagseed I had stashed nothing fancy
The mother is outdoors now give her a bit of a jump start on the spring and started her in jan put her out around end of May doing very nice
Tryin to get pics up for you outstanding citizens but pos laptop keeps freezing hopefully get em on tonight

Well I decided to give her a good flushing (with the last cpl gal of ph water of course) Monday night so now just waiting a few days to see the results but I'm still kinda leaning toward it being caused by n tox like youngbuzz 101 said soon as I figure this place out a lil better and how to like posts I'll def hit you up guy
Everyones input was greatly appreciated I know there's worse problems out there than a cpl scrawny leaves but I would just like to say thanks to those select few who took time out of there day to help out a fellow grower​
