-Problem: Twisted and stunted leaves
-Medium/grow method: coco/perlite, fabric pots
-Feed and supplements used: GH Calimagic (3ml/gal), Flora Trio (Micro 2.5ml/gal, Gro 2.5ml/gal, Bloom 1.2ml/gal) RapidStart (1ml/gal) - feeding 2-3x per day by hand with 10-20% runoff. Base water is about EC 200, after mixing nutrients and balancing pH, the nutrient solution is about EC 1100 and pH 5.7-5.9. Runoff is showing consistently under 1200, often in the same range as the input EC.
-Water source: tap water
-Strain and age: Nirvana Seeds - Bubbalicious Autoflower - 42 days from germination
-Climate: 70ºF and 50% RH most of the time the tent is closed. The extremes of the temperature swing are 60ºF to 80ºF, RH is 40% to 60%.
-Light used: 240W Quantum Board 288 - until this week I was running 24/0, but I tapered down to 20/4 last week.

-Additional info:
This is my first grow and I didn't realize I needed to buffer my coco with cal-mag up front, so I believe I started out with a deficiency from that in the original pint pot. I buffered my coco when I potted up, though and this problem didn't show until well after that.

:toke: - pardon Matt, this got lost in the scrum!...

This is a very strange distortion, I'm no sure what this is,... no defc. really fits this, and lack of other symptoms.... the weird growth started after the plant was already good size, no signs in early veg? Any other plants showing this?
There's a remote chance it could be some sort of infection, worse case a virus.... problem is, only way to sure about that is with a specialty tissue test, and they are typically very specific to a single viral strain,... easy to miss the mark on that!
That aside, ppm's at about 900 for feed only is a bit high, but no solid signs of nute burn, certainly not gonna cause this distortion....
 
I've seen symptoms similar to this when I used too much B52/Carboload during flowering. Don't know what RapidStart is, but could this contain B vitamins?

:bighug:HM brudda! .. Long time mate, hope you're doing well.....:passit:
 
I've had very similar issues after potting up, when I messed with the roots. Curling worked itself out after a while, but the plant did remain stunted.
 
Try to get your temps in order. 60 degrees is far too low and might be causing shock.

I also see some curling going on which is indicative of a nitrogen toxicity.

Hey Waira, doing fine brother, had to check in for Festivus :smoking: The site has really changed alot, I still keep getting some kind of pop up that says there's some kind of problem, but I just close it and continue on with no problems :shrug:

:pimp:... yeah, bloody system bugs! the old forum software was totally FUBAR, and no longer supported so this change was mandated,... the "IT guys" are tinkering to find out why, working to fix them so please bear with meantime,...
Many things operate more or less the same, despite the different looks,... There are a lot of changes in the software itself, out of our hands but the guys are trying their best to get it as close to last version as they can!
Festivus is going to be phaaa-aaat! :woohoo1: ...keep your eye peeled for the Goods....
 
I'm a little be pre dispositioned as I'm currently fighting a broad might problem, but this does kind of look like a possibility to me. I would get a cheepo 60-100x microscopes off amazon for like 10 buxs and have a look..

This is a very strange distortion, I'm no sure what this is,... no defc. really fits this, and lack of other symptoms.
From all my research this is pretty much the exact discription of what you see with broad mites. Those twisted leaves and curled up edges ,,, ohhh the horrors I've seen !!!
 
If this happens since it was a seedling, just get rid of it, such a stressed plant will only get hermie eventually. If it just happens at this stage, reduce the feed, your soil has too much nitrogen, you are about to burn it...
