Deformity mabye?

[Stonick]

This leaf set looks bad but the rest of the plant is looking good. Is this just a deformity or something I can prevent?

I'd keep a close eye on it but not panic or change anything unless other leaves show the same problem.
What medium are you growing in and what nutes are you using?

Ive only fed fox farm big bloom and grow big half strength one time since germ a week ago also some cal mag 3ml per gal twice. Im using happy frog and ffof mix.

They look pretty good! Figers crossed for a random deformity. I've had that type of deformity with younger plants when the soil is too hot. If the mutation starts showing up more broadly, you may need to flush them.
I've been using FFHappy Frog for years. Used to use FFOF, for they youngsters, but now I do a mix for seedlings and clones of 1 part FFOF/1 part coco coir/1 part perlite and some mycorrhizae. After 2-3 wks I transplant into just FFHF.

Curious, why have you clipped the tips of some of the fan leaves? Where they showing problems?

I topped them for clones past weekend and seen a few growers doing this to make the plant focus on its lower growth I believe and let more light down. Im first time grower!

clipping the tips of the fan leaves for clones is done to focus the new clipping on initial root growth. Once they are rooted, and looking healthy - like your plants - i don't think it's helpful.

Think of those nice big fan leaves as individual solar panels - they absorb the light and transform it into energy that the plant can use to do all sorts of things. So, clipping tips during veg is sort of like knocking out part of your solar panel. Make sense?

To allow for more light penetration, try some very basic LST (low stress training). Just carefully bending the top stems outward downward to expose new growth works for me. Think of it as adjusting and arranging your solar panels to make room for more solar panels. (rather than lopping part of one off to make room for others.

Admittedly, I spend too much time playing with my plants.

Good growing!!!!

Thanks Zo for the time!

one more thought if you want to be extra diligent. Use a magnifier and take a really good look under and around that leaf just to make sure there's not a critter involved.
