leaves have waxy spots (pics)

I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is with this plant. It seems like this weird growth only happens on opposite leaves. The overall plant seems to be stunted as well. This is my first time growing out this strain. I am in promix. None of my other plants have this issue. In the second pic the two bottom leaves are opposite leaves. The real shitty leaf in the second pic was an original clone leaf so it has some additional def showing.

They have never physically touched a light or been close enough for a overdose of light. They showed this just after cloning. I am a light feeder of the nutes. The mum is also healthy.

I have never seen leaf damage like this. I know there must be a canna DR out there that can help diagnose it. The mum shows no signs of this, and I cant cure the clone. The 2 bottom leaves are on opposite sides. Its like a hunch back plant. One half grows normal the other half is a mutant. I'll get a shot of the flowering plant when the lights come on so you can see. In the meantime, tell me what you think it could be. :bump:

Mine do that with too much light heat or a change in the nute regime from light early veg to heavy late veg.

Thats my guess.

iv had this happen also... im not sure what it is... but al i can think of it from being to close to the light or maybe getting to dry? mine was threw the whole plant, not every other leaf... but mine only happened after i dropped my light down closer.. so maybe you light is to close? im not sure but maybe that will help... im going to stay tuned to this as i am interested to know what it is.

Well one thing I can tell you up front is to stop removing damaged leaves.
Those leaves my not be in perfect health but they are still at least partially functioning for the overall plant.

Now without seeing the entire plant; stems, leaves etc. it is pretty difficult to offer further advice because there are far too many unanswered variables. Such as nutes, lighting and distance from light, temps, pot size, medium, age of plants, duration in current pots/medium.
Personally, I hate that "infirmary form" everybody uses but if you could give us a few more details about your plants and setup it would aid us in advising you more accurately.

Hey guys. It got late didnt take my pic in of the flowering plant... Thanks for checking out my pics. The plant in question was sitting about 9" from a 23w cfl. The heat fluctuates from 76-82* f. lights stay on 24hr. I would like to say its genetic... but, the mum isn't affected and the clone is.

looks like we posted at the same time ST. defoliation is what I have been doing for years. It works for me in my cab situation. Those leaves were from a clone I pulled them so I could see if the damage was going to continue.

Malformed newer growth generally indicates problems with the micro elements... for whichever reason that may be.

It's also an indication of over watering, high heat/cold stress, TMV, root fungi, compacted soil, and a few other issues like over feeding (N), exceptionally high ppm, or lock-out.

All of which leads to micro/macro uptake issues... like I said, for any number of reasons...

Good stuff guys. This was cloned in a jiffy pellet. and moved into promix. these symptoms continue now into flowering. Its like a disease. Its not going away. And no other plants have had any issues. The plant in question sleeps with as many as 8 other girls.

I bet you didn't remove the netting from the jiffy pellet?

After I found the springtails I tossed the pellets. I just saw the $4 cloner in your sig. I was going to buy something like that and clone in water. I think im going to try that now. thanks again!

That looks like a big ph/nute swing. When you get leaf contortions like that, look for what is causing the ph/nute problem. When clones are young they are more susceptible to those swings. Stress test is right you don't want to keep removing a bunch of fan leaves when the clones are real small. I usually wait until the plant has plenty of new good growth before I remove problem leafs that are still alive.

So here she is. I was going to toss her but had room in my cab. See what happens I guess.



I would love to here any fresh ideas. But as of now im going with the jiffy pellet being the culprit.
 
I got this on my last batch of clones. They were healthy going in, but I put them into a media that was too 'hot' for the younglings and got the same symptoms as your plants. Light flush and a more conservative feed for about 1.5wks and they are healthy again.

I'm guessing you plopped them into a plain fresh media though? (no nutes)
