Can't figure this out and wanted to see if anyone else might have an idea...i'm in soil (FFOF) and i'm doing an earthbox grow with plants that were started in mini-hempys but got transplanted into soil...obviously (EARTH box). The leaves on one little lady are twisting, dry, have holes in the center, yellowed in the center, very narrow (at some points it looks like there is just the stem with no leaf growing off of it)...looks like mosaic virus to me but what do i know? i'm a noob!
If no one has any idea about this by wednesday i'm just gonna go ahead and cull the sickly one because i'm worried whatever is causing this is starting to spread...

root bound segregate those plants dude , cannabis needs its own space ...
Really? You think this is root bound? I'd be surprised if the roots all exploded to such an extent in a week to fill that whole rubbermade and with the grow notes on white rhino from nirvana listing "able to plant close together" as a positive i'd be kinda disappointed. I've checked my pH and its high (7.5ish) so I'm thinking I will just keep watering with 5.9 H2O and slowly lower that pH back to within acceptable soil range.

There's no curling or anything thats normal with the problem of roots being bound...if you think they're entangled and/or competing that might make more sense to me but still, these earthbox containers are supposed to hold 2-3 pretty safely...either way, you think i should just dig her up and put her in her own container? wouldn't that risk hurting root systems etc.? I guess if i pull her on wednesday and her roots are entangle it'll stress the other plants anyhow but i mean i guess i could give it a whirl, maybe even pop her back into hempy....for now i'll work with the pH though
thanks for the help,
be easy,
Dr.J

My White Rhinos want space of their own and grow very bushy very quickly. I've been giving them a low nutrient regimen and they aren't happy and want more, I doubled the feeding dosage and they still want more. Always give them room if you can.
