Set-up/experience:
This is only my 2nd time growing. My first turned out to be healthy plant, but a male, so I just started my 2nd batch of 4. I just had the seeds from some bud I had, so I'm not sure of the specific strain, but they are only 9 days old. I've been following SeeMoreBuds's book "Marijuana Buds for Less" so I'm using Miracle gro potting soil(w/ 3 month slow-release fertilizer), 3-42watt CFLs, and watering with distilled water at pH ~6.5. Originally because of the lower pH of the soil the first few waterings had a ~7.2 pH and I've only been using the lower pH water the past 3 days (since I noticed the problem). I just separated the 4 plants into they're own ~3 gallon pots today.
Problem: the leaves on some of them are noticeably distorted. Some parts are twisted and others have raised sections between the veins. Kinda' looks like lettuce. One of them has leaves where half of the leaf is turned downwards and one has a slight marbling coloration. I've been trying to look up a solution and the closest I've gotten seems to be a Zinc deficiency caused by a possible high pH. But they seem 2 be growing quite fine so far and are actually growing at a faster rate than those in the book. Also they seem to be getting better, but I'd rather know if for at least to keep a look-out.
I have a few pictures, but I don't post pix online often, so I hope I do this right. if not then I'll try to repost them.
Thanx!
Here's The one with the twisted leaves:
Here's the one with the leaves turned under:
This is the only one with the slight discoloration(Note: I had this problem on one leaf from my last batch with the same brand of soil, but it was just a one-leaf problem and never reoccurred.)
