I'd like some thoughts from the forum about what could be ailing my plant. If you take a look at the picture you'll notice yellow patches and a few deformed leaves. Below are the details about the grow.

Plant details:

• 2 weeks old (strain ww)
• Growing in Happy Frog soil (topped off with 1/4 in. of organic compost)
• Water 4-5 times per day with a spray bottle (has some carbonaded water mixed in to help with CO2)
• Temp 72-75 degrees
• Humidity 40%
• Have a fan blowing over plants for air circulation

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Looks like PH issues, carbonated water is a carbonic acid solution.

Thanks, I've flushed the container with purified water and will not use that anymore. What is the best way to test PH in soil? Is there a particular tester/ meter you would recommend?

I had some mutants like that! They looked all fucked up! Sometimes they straighten out sometimes they dont! That is why you should always start a couple seeds. Later

Basic soil ph test kits can be found at garden centers and pretty much anywhere with a gardening section. Feeding it tap water will change the ph to around 7 though depending on your water source which should iron that out. Don't over water them though as they'll just rot or you'll get insect/mould problems.

yep leaf twist indicates ph problem or mg. deficiency i think. Does not look to bad. I have also had similar foliage.

Looks like my PH was acidic after all. I tested the bottled water and organic compost I was using. Both were acidic.

I switched back to happy frog and I'm now watering with distilled water instead. The PH is looking good.

Thanks!
