Been having some issues that seem to be getting worse. Got 2 x P. Box (subcool's) that were in some recycled super soil from clone for about 45 days. Started to see what I thought to be a Mg defficiency due to the fact that I use RO water.
Before putting anything into the soil, I decided to do a complete flush (6 gal each for 3 gal pots) with 7.0PH water. Checked the runoff of the last half gallon of each, and was about 5.8... obviously PH was locking something out.
Tried over 2 weeks to bring it up with a bit of hydrated lime but it wasn't getting better, so I decided to scrap the soil that was giving me problems before I completely lost the plants. Cut 50% of the soil off the rootball and re-planted into a mix of 75% Roots Organic soil/ 25% Pro mix w/ myco.
One plant has bounced back and seems to be ok, but the other is putting out some very deformed/whorled leaves. Slightly noticeable on new growth, but seems more pronounced on the fully formed fan leaves.
Plants are curently under 250w MH in a 3x3 room and still being watered with RO water. They are in 3 gal square smartpots and watered every third day or so when they feel light to lift. Plant in question is about 60 days old and ready to be flipped, but I would like to resolve this issue before flowering.
Here is a pic of some of the leaves in question, and one of the plant in question. Thanks in advance!!!
