Hello, I came to this forum to seek help from knowledgeable people!

Now i'v been growing my girls for 42 days, and they have been like this for a while, not sure how long, but they are close to the vegetative stage of their life cycle. Here is what they look like:


So no one is confused, these are two different plants, but are the same strain(Bianca).

If anyone could tell me what wrong with them, if there even is anything wrong with them, please tell me. It kinda looks like something is eating away the leaves, but not a bug, but something else...

Take a look at this guide:

http://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?34539-Nutrients-amp-fertilizer-guide-amp-Problem-solver

Scroll down a half page to where he wrote his "problem-solver". There are 13 steps in the solver. #12 (Zinc deficiency) seems to match your picture. Could be #13, but I'd think Zinc. It's an immobile element so it tends to show up in the new growth, twisting is mentioned, and you're getting interveinal chlorosis too.

On a side note, I can't tell from the pictures, but the pots are out of focus and seem to be quite a distance from the tops. And I don't see much in the way of secondary leaves. At 42 days I would expect to see lots of leaves hiding the main stalk. If you'd like better responses you should probably fill in some of the missing info, like lighting, soil, etc.

I'm growing in a soil.
I'm using a florescent light that are normally in a garage.
I'm using a "Wegmans Spring Water"(Water Bottle) ph - 5.0
They have a temp of 68~78.
I do not know the humidity, but it's probably be 30%~50%.

It looks like a root system issue, as only the new growth is distorted. Check the roots by carefully popping the rootball out and looking at it. The issue is major.

HEALTHY

"A plant infected with root-knot nematodes often exhibits the same signs of nutrient deficiency. It may be stunted, yellowed, or wilted, and can lead to premature death of the plant. Below the ground, the roots of the plant are swollen or knotted with root galls, and unless a plant is removed from the soil to examine the roots, the cause of the poor plant growth remains undetected. The appearance of the galls on the roots can be confused with nitrogen-fixing nodules common in the legume family. However it is easy to distinguish between them, as the nitrogen nodules can be easily rubbed off while the nematode galls cannot be removed. "

UNHEALTHY

Could be gnat larvae, diseased roots,nematodes or other root problems.

I had fungus gnats, but i got rid of them, now you don't see any...

Also I don't see anything like the unhealthy roots, so I don't think its that...

Judging by your moderately low temps and the fact that you used to have gnats, there's a chance that you have overwatered your plant, leading to reduced absorption of nutrients, which manifests as chlorosis... Which I think is an umbrella term for "you done fucked up". Also, if you are using clear pots, you should seriously consider covering them up, as algae may be building up from the sides of the pot inwards.

Let your pots dry well before your next watering, and then try to not completely soak your roots every time you water.

Looks like they are having a nute lockout. I grew bianca a few years back and she is a very sensitive plant. Most chemical nutrients are too strong for her. You may want to consider watering them every few days or when the soil almost feels dry. Also you may want to put your babies in a container that isn't transparent because the roots shouldn't be exposed to light. I grew 4 of these under 9 CFLs after I switched to organic fertilizer and I got 3 oz from each plant. Just gotta be delicate with her lol

Just noticed I had a plant with root knot nematodes image.jpgI may have taken a clone or two from her will the clones be infected. Thanks you.
