Happy frog with pearlite 1 gal pots 300ppfd 24 inches away. 100 ml of new millennium lineup week 1 strength every 3 days or so depends on dryness of soil. 2 on left MMXX and so f'n gassy on right both by Twenty20. Haven't ran into this yet. 2.5 weeks from from 1st leaves.

Shit breeding/genetics.

Hmmm both mmxx effected, 1 gassy starting to be effected. Hard to say possibly small differences in stress tolerance, I'd be interested to see where your airflow intakes are and what airflow you have going on in there. Wonder if there is a dead spot for airflow on that side. Normally something environmental is screwing with water, water is responsible for cell elongation...... alot of nutrients can cause misshapen leaf. Here's a breakdown of how these nutrients can contribute to leaf distortion: Calcium: Deficiency can cause new leaves to be distorted, stunted, or irregularly shaped, with leaf tips turning brown and brittle. Magnesium: A lack of magnesium can lead to yellowing between the veins, and in some cases, reddening, curling, or twisting of leaves. Potassium: Potassium deficiency can cause curled leaf edges, necrotic spots, and even deformed or droopy leaves. Iron: Iron deficiency can cause leaves to become distorted or misshapen, as well as interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between veins). Zinc: Zinc deficiency can lead to distorted growth, necrotic spots, and chlorosis (yellowing) in new leaves. Boron: Boron deficiency can cause leaves to appear crinkled, deformed, and brittle, particularly on younger leaves. Manganese: Manganese deficiency can lead to stunted growth and discolored, deformed leaves. Sulfur: Sulfur deficiency can cause distorted or altered growth of leaves, and the foliage will often fold along the midrib. Wouldn't worry too much if she recovers hopefully she gets better , keep an eye out for any progression though, hopefully the list will be able to provide a rough idea if it gets worse. 😉

That left seedling shows classic twisted/mutated early growth – usually not from overfeeding alone. Could be a genetic oddity (common with polyhybrids like MMXX), or early root zone stress from compaction, pH, or slight overwatering. Your feed might be a bit much for Happy Frog at this stage, but the others look fine – so it’s likely plant-specific. Let it ride for now, reduce feed frequency a bit, and see if new growth normalizes. Sometimes these bounce back, sometimes they stay weird.

Hey there growth seems normal be patient seedling take a bit to get going Also focus on keeping humidity and temps in check The leaves on the plants that are all wonky are probably either over watering or humidity and temps right now is when the plant is hardening off to stronger light maybe give it a break for a 1/2 day in morning with 1/2 light intensity for 1/2 a day so it will recover some Also happy frog soil has a ton oh humic acid if you check the ph of the run off water coming out the bottom of the pots you will see the ph is down below a 5. Never use happy frog by itself Personally I only add some happy frog to my soil of if I want to use tap water and not ph my water every time I water cause tap water has a ph around 7.5 to 8.5 or so Happy frog helps balance out with the high ph tap water and the really low ph of the happy frog I think happy frog is useful if you don’t want to use ph down you can always top dress a pot of soil with happy frog and adjust the ph that way Ussally you don’t see problems from the happy frog until you flip your plants to flower and they start getting a bunch of rust spots and the plant starts to die If you run into this problem just flush your soil with 5 to 10 gallons of tap water and check the run off ph again
