Strange, Mutated Leaves on Critical Kush Clone

I have a clone of a Critical Kush that is growing really bizzarre. All in all the plant appears to be extremely healthy and is growing incredibly fast, despite this the leaves are forming into the craziest looking leaves I've seen so far. They are all a nice green-- no browning, nutrient, or heat issues as far as I can tell (unless this type of growth is an indicator of one of these).

This could be some sort of genetic freakshow but this is a clone of a plant that was healthy and did not exhibit this sort of growth. I'm not too concerned about it as the plant is growing well and, as I said appears to be in good shape, I'm just curious if anybody knows what is going on with here. I've included a couple pictures, two are pretty good the others are just sort of whatever but good enough to tell what's happening.

If this is some kind of red flag though or a hint at a very large problem either now or down the road please let me know, your feedback would be most appreciated.

No clue what's up with that but those don't look like critical kush to me. Im on my second run with them and I've yet to find a pheno that has thin leaves like that.. keep us posted on what happens and how the smoke is with that cause I absolutely love the critical kush and enjoy seeing how other people like them smoke and growing wise.

I have the exact same thing....perfect CK plants growing....took clones and they are a freakshow like yours. very strange

Old thread but ill bump it to add info...

I have 3 week old seedlings , critical kush, 2 are phenotypes that look just like nasty's above, the other looks not as thin in the leaves but similar to the other 2 but i saw somewhere that there are 3 known phenotypes for critical kush...


1.: long, compact, fastly blossoming, indica-dominant Phenotype #1
2.: short, compact, fastly blossoming, indica-dominant Phenotype #2
3.: long, stretched, fastly blossoming, sativa-dominant Phenotype #3

My guess is the plant isn't getting enough light or intense enough light.
I've had this problem too.

I have them vegged under a 600w mh i think too much light if anything? lol

edit: actually the ballast is dimmed to 75% so 450w mh or so

That is heat damage... most likely a combination of too hot and too dry.

I thought the same thing...2 days ago put the light about 2 feet from the seedlings...they are much better, bigger leaves, and before were way to bushy, short and bushy is good, but the nodes were stacked to close, now they are instantly better in just moving the light, helps me maintain a better temp too..
