What to do to correct this? -Advice needed-

So here is the story about this plant, when it germed I put it in ffof, that's where it has been it's entire life, no transplanting or anyhting like that.

When it sprouted in the ffof the seed shell stayed on and wouldn't allow the inside leaves to open. I thought I'd just let nature take its course and wait for the shell to fall off, long story short I finally removed the seed shell myself. Ever since it has sprouted it's color has been off, I assumed it was where the seed shell stunted it. The rest of my plants look fine.

Oh yeah, ffof with tbsp of dolomite per gallon of soil. No nutes have been added yet. @16 days of veg

looks dry but what do i know. I'll be interested to see what the gurus have to say.

I have had that happen before, Just seems like some plants are weak and some are strong.
When I have problems with a seedling it doesn't always mean it will be a runt, sometimes its a late bloomer but most of the time, well its just a runt.
If you're planning on taking clones leave this one alone. You can just toss it and veg the others an extra week or so to make up for the loss in the end.

Thanks for replying, so when you had plants like this before could you tell a huge difference in the amount harvested v/s healthy plants?

I've also been toying with idea of watering it with epson salt.

Yea, that's what I call a runt, like 25% the size of the rest. I found its not the amount of plants that get you the yield but the amount of time you let the plants veg. You could easily get more out of one plant then four plants if you veg it long enough and train it right. Epsom salts huh, you thing you have a mag def? if so, why haven't the rest of the plants been affected? I don't know man, I think ya got a runt.

So, no one knows why the leaf looks like it has blisters & it's discolored? Any diagnosis? And I agree, it's a runt, I reckon that's just how it goes sometimes.

Don't worry about it. Watch how the new growth looks..

the soil is to hot imo...for a runt...

I'd grow it anyways...plenty of plants in the future to trash for me
...i like to experiment and see all the various things, good and bad.

Any chance you did something extra that you didn't mention, like extra water, or extra anything? Are you using RO water? Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your other plants, have you really taken them out and looked at them?

I've got a runt going now, and aside from looking like he'll for the first few weeks, her color was always green.

Just looks like a deficiency of some sort to me, even though you shouldn't have any yet. Maybe it's a voracious eater and wants food? I did have a plant that ate faster than her sisters, I figured it as just her genes. She always needed a pitot extra water per week, dried out faster than the others. Same soil, same regiment, she just liked to eat.

Worse case, give her a little veg food, maybe 1/2 strength, and see if her color comes back. I am usually feeding by 10 - 14 days in, mine seem to start to yellow fast until they get food, then all is well.
