alright so here it is, i recently germinated Himalaya gold, Northern lights and Early Skunk for my outdoor crop this yr. This is my third outdoor season, and ive been growing indoor for a long time now. But this is the FIRST time i have ever encountered a problem like this. My first mistake was putting the seedlings in MG potting soil. which i soon found out was depriving my seedlings of nutirents and micronutrients. So i changed my grow medium to fox farm soil. Which made a dramatic difference in all three strains.. They had been curling leaves and growing leaves deformed.. but after a few days in the new soil the made quite the comeback and regain a healthier look and a good shade of green and growth returned to normal.. for all.. so i thought.. but a few days after this the Himalaya gold still was growing new leaves badly deformed.. split leaves.. stunted leaves.. 2 leaves where there should be 3.. small leaves.. ect.. and i PH my water of course.. check the PH of the soil.. dont over nute.. they arnt over water.. and its not a heat related issue i dont believe.. Because all the other strains are thriving.. Could someone please give me some feed back or what they think might be going on? Are they still just feeling the effects of being nutirent deprived? and just havent recovered yet? are they still not getting enough calcium or phosphorus? please help me? here are some pics.. much thanks..

I have seen an issue like this before, it seems to happen sometimes with fem seeds. Don't worry too much about it, it usually corrects itself once the plant gets a little larger. I would keep giving nutes on a regular schedule and let the plant correct itself as it matures.

alright guys thanks for the advice.. they will be transplanted soon.. hopefully they do correct themselves.. they just look GD awful right now lol.. but what can you do.. appreciate the help and feedback
 
i have a similar issue with a fem motavation seed i started. i started it in a rockwool starter cube with ro water in a solo cup, it`s been almost 2weeks and it has only been growing twisted leaf sets since sprouting. it`s now showing the start of new leafset but they too look twisted and deformed, and way too small. what should i do?

I am having a similar problem with a Columbian Gold Seedling I have... I would hate to dump it but all her leaves keep coming in wonky and deformed. wonder if it's something in that gold family.
