Why only 1 blade fan leaves? Please HELP :(

I cant figure out why my plants have started this 1 bladed fan leaf growth. I recently re-potted them with a different, but neutral PH soil and that is the only thing I can think of to account for the deformed growth. What can I do to correct this problem w/o having to revert back to the original soil used? I don't have the money to replace that much soil at this time.

only seen this happen when revegging a plant. you got som splaynin to do

That's the result of some kind of shock. Did the appearance of this one leaf growth coincide with your transplantation? I think they didn't like something about the new soil. But what exactly is anyone's guess. Growing in soil seems like growing with a blindfold on.

I had an issue where the incorrect program on timer was selected (only have 2 program 18/6 & 12/12), but that was at least 6 weeks ago and only effecting half of the plants. Idk how long the wrong program was on. I mean we use the timers so we can set it and forget it right? lol These are my mothers and i just don't know what to do about it now. Also it may have been as long as 8 weeks ago, since this occured. Why would I get a month of continued normal growth before this dissfiguration?

If I had to choose between shock possibilities, I would say the soil change is the closest chronological event that would coincide with the growth deformity, but what can/should I do about it?

You don't know how long the wrong light schedule was running?

Sorry pal, you didn't stay on top of your grow and now you're reaping the rewards.

I need suggestions on what to do about it at this point please. I know the problem is my fault and not the plants, I just lack the expertise to decide what to do about it and could use any helpful suggestions people may have.

When do you plan to flower?


Here's my revised theory. I think perhaps that spell of wrong light schedule is just manifesting now. This is a wild guess more than a theory, but does anyone else think a light cycle problem from six weeks ago could be taking effect now?

This doesn't necessarily mean your grow is ruined... just not picture perfect.

Just keep at it. I'm sure you're still gonna get good bud.

I had that same prob but early in the grow she was like a month from seed and it slowed her down all i did was bend the single blade over and tied it down and she grew 2 shoots.


Happy Growing!

But how do I correct the problem for the new growth? Is this irreversible? Should I try trimming and seeing what happens with new growth? I just dont know what to do These bitches were supposed to be mothers

man you need to give some info because more than a transplant is wrong with that plant ive damaged roots and my shit didnt look like that they look very sick

Is there normal growth between the single blade , two little shoots , if so top the new growth or tie it. If not find a shoot on your plant that is growing normal and bend her so the normal growth is growing towards the light. Good Luck.

Amount of blades per fan leaf represent the maturity of the plant.

As the plant goes through it's vegetative cycle, the blade-count will increase. Indica will reach around 7-9 blades per fan leaf, while a pure sativa can reach upwards of 13 blades per leaf. Hybrids will fall in the middle.

As the light cycle switches to flowering, the new growth will slowly decrease the blade-count. After you get down to on blade per fan leaf you are as deep as it gets for flowering, because then the new growth is centered around buds and not leaf production.

You pretty much flowered your mothers out for a month, but they will re-veg. You will notice new growth soon with multiple blades per leaf. Just gotta give it time.

As for the shock, best thing you can do is ride it out. Otherwise, over-correcting could make the problems worse. Regular water and a little bit of time should do the trick.

It's pretty clear what happened. You had your plants on 12/12 and they started flowering. Then you flipped it back to 18/6 and they are re-vegging. It takes a long time to get the plants to reveg and you're just seeing what it looks like. If you've ever seen a grow where someone does a reveg after harvesting, this is the nastyness that goes on.

I would just chuck it, you fucked with it and it's just not going to be a good mother. If you don't have the resourcees to get more seeds or clones or something then you could work with it, but why bother?

As long as they aren't hermied, I'd keep 'em. Even if they re-vegged from flowering they'll still be ok.

It DOES look an awful lot like they are trying to flower. That, and you have Nitrogen Claw. Feed'm less imo. cn

mine do that when i make clones from flowering plant. grow it out. these still have their single blades but are full of buds after 3 weeks 12/12. they reverted back to veg thats all. don't cut them
