Was doing research and what I found was either P excess, low humidity levels, light stress.. or just the Savita genetics? The plants are all in good health, growing fast and do not show any signs of deficiency aside from the skinny leaves forming. PH is fine, its living soil..

This is completely normal for some strains and quite common when flowering. It is thought that growing narrow leaves in flowering makes it easier for pollen to "find" the femalw flower pistils and aid in fertilization. It is not a nutrient, pH, temperature, humigity or lighting issue, just a normal occurence and nothing to worry about. I have grown dozens and dozens of plants that have done this exact thing when flowering and have come to expect it. Your plant is fine, there are no issues to be concerned over regarding the narrow leaves in flowering, it is a genetic function. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Mmmm... you say the pH is fine - do you actually measure it? If you use a pH pen, have you calibrated it recently? Have you measured the pH of your runoff to see what is actually going on with the pH in the soil? Really skinny leaves are a sign of zinc deficiency and while sativas have much skinnier leaves than indica, these really are pushing it... Skinny leaves, yellow tips, beginning to twist ... these are all signs of zinc deficiency and this is caused by pH issues... specifically a pH that is much too high. If you haven't been measuring it and just assuming stuff here, water until you get runoff and then test that run off... if it's over 7.0, you'll need to do a flush to get her back down to the 6.4 you say the pH is and then keep carefully monitoring it the rest of the way. Good luck!

I think this is the fault of relatively excessive light
