Are my plants retarded? *pics*

These were all grown from clones. I'm about 4 days into flowering and they look good for the most part...except for the retarded leaf patterns. Is this normal? Some are curled, and have 1-3 blades only. What the hell is going on? The mom was about 1.5 ft tall when i took the clones off of her and her leaf patterns were totally normal. Strain is skunk from sensi seeds.

wow looks like your light schedule might have fucked up.... that would be my only guess. I have only seen curling leaving like that when a plant was forced to flower then back to veg then back to flower in like a 3 day span...(timer issues, but the results where the same as your leaves). As far as the weird leaf sets, I have no idea what would cause that, i mean i would say genetic but i find that to be ruled out when you said the mother was normal...... hmm weird, guess we'll have to wait for some experts to chime in....

No it's not normal. My plants did the same thing, I think due to nitrogen toxicity or being sprayed with neem oil, or sprinkling diatomaceous earth on the soil around the same time. I flushed and reintroduced nutrients and a week later they came back with normal 5 bladed or more growth. Something is stressing your plants. When in doubt flush!

its either a deficiency or a toxicity/ph problem.

flush your pots with RO water and give them a couple of days before feeding, lightly spraying with a B1 and nitrozyme spray at lights off will help.

every plant that i have ever tried to revert from flowering back to veg did the exact same thing; curled leaves, single leaves, etc. i wouldnt worry about it, it'll grow out.

thanks guys. So far, the only stress that i could see would have been a few days where the temps inside the tent reached 88 or so. The first couple weeks after they rooted, i used straight RO water ph'ed at 6.4. Then i used fox farms nutes which seemed way too hot and switched everything to pure blend pro. They've been doing good since the switch, but i did flush before i made that switch. As for reverting the light cycles, the clones have been on 18/6 all throughout veg and 12/12 since flower. However, the mom was thrown into flower for a couple days to show sex, then reverted back to veg for 2 more weeks before i took the clones. Maybe that's the reason for the retarded leaves. I'll do another flush just to be safe though.

What the hell is the vortex in the middle of the 3rd photo? Does it go to another dimension?
