Ok, so I noticed my White Widow leaves are coming out kind of deformed... I don't know if it's because of bugs or what, because I already sprayed neem oil on her 2 days ago. anybody have any idea what this is? Even the newest growth is showing odd coloring/deformalories. help?

Come on guys, help me out here??

I had a similar problem with my white widows, but it was because I gave them nutes too early. I was using ffof that already has them. Then I found out yer not supposed to use nutes until 30 days with ffof. Mine looked worse than yours and came out alright. You should look at my pics. Those should turn out ok it doesn't look like their having major problems.

when did yours start to stop coming out deformed?? The newest mode coming in looks like it's going to be deformed as well:/ I didn't add any nutes just used water.

Looks like your over watering them, you need to let your soil dry out a little, roots need to breath and being constantly saturated in water does them no favors at all.

First off if you are going outdoors give your ladies a little love and dont bind the roots into a 2G space. Can you afford to put them in bigger containrs?

What is your drainage like? Get some hydroton or rocks and put an inch or two in the bottom of your pots if you have not already, you won't regret it.

Let the soil dry out. Let your soil dry out until it is dry up to the first knuckle of your finger (at least) Roots needs water but they need O2 just the same. Don't suffocate them with water.

Give them a little B-1 or Superthrive crutch and tish of Cal/Mag for your twisted tips.

Also keep in mind that some plants just veg fast and sometimes a set of leaves don't have a chance to unfurl all the way before the next set comes out. It can look like something is wrong when there is not. Don't overthink the issue. These looks pretty good.

well, I would have but since in was a little late in the growing season, I didn't think she'd get very big... Will she? Now that you mention it, She is growing like crazy... I think she was working on growing multiple nodes at once or something... But idk. Yeah the soil is great for draining and the containers drain very well. I usually give her a half gallon whenever the soil is bone dry past my middle nuckle on my middle finger. Also the temps get pretty high (around 1000 sometimes) so I tend to have to water every 3 days or so.
