what do you think is wrong? (pics)

Kandy Kush from Reserva Privada. Im also running Bubblegum and OG Kush but this is the only plant i have concerns about.

5ltr pot (1.3 gal) dont want these plants that big tent is only 1m wide and 2m tall.

Growing in compost mixed with perlite, guano, fish blood and bone meal. Using bio bizz nutes currently 4 weeks into veg under a 600w mh (excluding 2 weeks of germinating/seedling stage).

Temps and humidity are fine and there is adequate air circulation. I also keep my PH at 6.0 when watering and feeding (every 3-4 days depending how light the pot is)

All other plants are fine but i dont know whats going on with this Kandy girl. Ive read tonnes online but have not been able to lock down a definitive answer.

New growth coming out of the nodes is fine but the top 2 sets of fans are drooping, clawing and curling both upwards and downwards. Theres some interesting symptoms on a couple of the very bottom sets of leaves too but i know these do die off naturally as plants grow so im not too concerned about those, but the drooping and clawing i am .....

Ive begun a flush regimen using epsom salt and yesterday she seemed to perk up a bit so im leaning towards early signs of mag defficiency but alas, today shes not looking good again.

The reason im so stumped about this is that its the only plant doing this.... im gonna transplant to a bigger pot in the next week if i still cant find any direction to what you guys think this could be in the hope its just a root bound problem thats easily fixable... thank you in advance....

Did you have soil mixed with the compost or is it strictly compost?

the top looks like heat stress, the bottom looks like nutrient spill on the leaf.

I was thinking this too so i moved my light up, this also is the tallest plant (currently at 15 inches tall) so that was another thing i was thinking. But i have a fan running over it so i just dont know lol

Forgot to mention i topped this girl and the OG Kush about a week ago but ive never known topping to have this effect on a plant.

And you can see the OG below is thriving yet they are in the same medium, same environment and getting the same feeds and treatment....

I think all it needs is a transplant, then it will be ok.

Going to the hydro store tomorrow to pick up a couple larger pots. Like i said beig root bound was in the back of my mind but the plant is only 15 inches high or so and i kinda been thinking its rootball wouldnt be that stuffy yet lol

Ill post pics tomorrow when i transplant.

i just had a plant do this, i transplanted to a bigger pot and solved my issue.

transplanted her into an 18ltr pot and gave another flush...didnt seem too badly root bound so we will see what happens

welp shes been in her new pot for 24 hrs and im happy to report shes looking much better.... her claws are straightening out and some of her taco'd leaves are also unfurling. What a relief lol

Ima transplant my OG Kush this week too so that i dont have that same problem during flowering

Heres the Kandy Kush looking much better

I grow outdoors in the ground nowadays, so space isn't a problem for me. I started out growing in pots indoors, and a practice I used was. If you measure from the top edge of your pot, out to your farthest leaf tip, and its more then 6-7 inches. It's a good idea to transplant. This doesn't mean if your plants are more then that your sure to have problems. It's just that the cannabis roots that take up the most nutes grow in the top 6 inches of your soil. So they enjoy a wider pot more then a deeper one.

i think from this genetics plays a role too. my OG Kush is still in the smaller pot, its a smaller plant too being indica what not

the kandy kush has a lot of sativa in it and you can see that when you put them side by side its a bigger faster growing plant

seeing it with your own eyes is a no brainer i should of expected this somewhat lol
