Please help! Contorted, darker green and slightly shiny leaves with spots.

Do you think this looks like a nitrogen toxicity issue? Is it likely because I made a mistake using mainstream potting mix with slow release fertiliser in it? If so, will a flush or multiple flushes help, or should I transplant to better quality, organic soil? Thanks in advance!

Yeah looks like some nitrogen toxicity.. and if it was me personally, I would probably transplant into a higher quality organic soil or starter seed soil and feed nutrients manually. If it’s something like miracle-gro, it’s gonna continue causing issues I’d think - especially growing an autoflower. I made the mistake of using miracle gro years back and it burned a photoperiod plant of mine, so imagine it will do worse to an autoflower which commonly requires less nutrients. I’m really not sure that a flush will help.. that’s why I personally would be leaning towards a transplant. You may shock it a bit with the transplant. But otherwise if you have to flush more than a few times, you’re definitely stunting her and time is of the essence with autos. Good luck!

I wouldn't worry, it will be ok. No need to flush or do anything drastic, in a few days it will be growing in leaps and bounds and completely unaffected by what has occurred so far. The twisted leaf is not associated with the soil conditions, just a common growth in cannabis leaves. Remember too, no plant will ever have 100% perfect leaves, 100% of the time. So, no need to stress, everything will be fine. Cheers, Organoman.

@Ezzjaygrows @Burmese - thanks so much, really appreciate all the info! Didn't see your reply Burmese before I went and got some organic super soil. I've transplanted all 3 with a sprinkle of Mycorrhizal to help any damage to the roots. Fingers crossed I haven't screwed it up!!

Hi there, yes it looks like excess of nitrogen.But not yet getting worse.If you have slow release fertilizer in your medium,flushing with alot of water will make them worse and could lead pH problems.Transplanting can be fined.But for the plant at your age,it would be difficult trying not to damage the roots or plant.So I would like to advice you to give plain pHed water like normal watering routine.Let water to be run off around 10~15%.Let the soil to be dried before each watering and cut off feeding for a while.Check the run off pH and maintain both pH in/out to be around 6.0~6.5. Don't do anyting extremely and be patient.Your plant are still in vegetative stage so they still have time to recover before going into flowering.Happy growing... ✌️
