Funny looking seedling. Large internode spacing. I haven't amended this soil at all and the plant is showing some slight deficiency or genetic defect in the leaves. First it was showing a Mg def. Now possibly a slight Ca def. I'm sure it will grow out of it.

This plant has struggled a bit from the start. Could be the soil which was reused and not amended. I've been trying to correct deficiencies from the start. My feeling is that it's Mg def which is giving the leaves a kind of mottled look. I've seen it before and the plant will most likely pull through when it gets into it's stride. It does mean that the plant overall hasn't been too vigorous and looks like it will remain pretty small.

Grow Questions

ForestGreenstarted grow question 7 years ago

Just wondering what other people thought of these leaf markings. I've had it before and think it could just be mag def as I normally see plants grow out of it, but it could also be something else.

Leaves. Color - Mottling

Hey there just a thought...I see you have a mag cal in your nute regime. Could you possibly need a root drench so that they can actually take up the products you're giving them? Sometimes all the needed stuff is there but unreachable due to lock out. If its available to you the Bush Doctor Sledgehammer helps to clean up the root area and generally spruce things up, so the plant can actually make use of your products. I hope she turns around for you, Best of luck with the grow.

Mag and Calcium deficiency looks very similar to me when moderate. I would say it is one or the other or both. Up your load just a bit for a week and see how they respond.

Has seemed like a pretty weak plant from the start tbh. Might have ditched it if it wasn't for the fact that it's the last plant before I go away so may as well leave it to finish since space isn't an issue. It's seemed fairly spindly and still suffering from what I imagine is a Mg def. Started a bit of LST and will leave her to do her thing.

Good luck with the grow, always a pleasure to go through your diaries ;) She sure is a tall one, if she continues like that she's going to be massive, I think that the deficiencies might just be 'growing pains' because she's growing 'too fast'.

@bobo420, Yeah it will be just fine. I've re-used the soil a few times which often means you see a few deficiencies early on but then you know what to correct and by next week she'll have pulled through just fine.

I have similar issues with my RQS Diesel Automatic. I contacted RQS and they said it looked like a Phosphorus deficiency to them. I’ve been trying to up the P nutes but not much change. Shes about 7 weeks old and is very small with no signs of stretching or flowering yet. I’m debating whether to let her grow to see what the outcome is or to pull her.

Could also be Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV): http://www.growweedeasy.com/tobacco-mosaic-virus-tmv-cannabis I think that’s what I have too, my girl is coming down 🙁

@DudeGrowsWeed, Hmm. I've looked into that before. Could be but I'm not sure. Last plant for me for a while so I'm just going to let it run. But thanks for the heads up.
