Defect or Sickness?

[cnalfonso]

Hey everyone! I am a newb and just started some gardening. I have super lemon haze and white widow growing just nicely. However, i have also planted some random seeds I have collected. This one seems to be giving me problems. I have posted some pics below. If you cant see them that clearly, the leaves are completely wrinkled. They have yellow spots, the leaves are curled. I have not had any problems from the other strains I have. I was wondering if this is something I can save or is it just a defect in the genetics?

Thanks!

Wow it looks mangled. Whats it in coco and perlite? Ph? etc

After it germinated, I put it in a peat pellet. Then I moved it into a pot with organic soil my friend had made from his compost. I was watering it with filtered water from a brita filter and I just started using purified water yesterday. I have done the same with 2 other strains and the other strains look lovely and healthy.

Meh see how it goes i guess. Theres a plant in my garden that came up in a bad way, lost her begginer leaves due to the seed case not cracking properly. When i tried to pry it open a whole lotta mass went with the seed case. I thought it would die yet i nursed it regardless. Im very glad i did its a beautiful plant, have her at week 5 of flowering now.

Yea thats what I am doing. I'm still watering it and taking care of it just like all my other lovely babies. I was just hoping someone would be able to tell me if its something i did wrong or if its just a defect. I guess only time will tell!

Maby a fungus attacked it? Will be interesting to see if it survives and what becomes of it.

 

[cnalfonso]

hm... if it was a fungus wouldnt it have attacked my other plants too? ill def keep an update here of that poor little baby.

Not necessarily, like damping off.

This is what that plant is looking like...

Def looking a lot better! Not sure why, but they do....

probably a lockout in the soil due to PH imbalance

Although some of your plants are doing OK in that substrate...to me it looks it is "too hot" for those seedlings hence the "crippling".

You can leave them as they are and see what happens.
If they don't start growing normal (there are chances they will do OK once they get older) dump 'em and start new in substrate w/o (or much less than now) ferts in it.

Don't feel bad about it, it's called "dialing in" a strain.

Things have happened to all of us @ some point.

Cant see the images, says i have to register?

Use iimmgg.com rather, batch upload aswell.

..........

Those pictures are hosted by the ICMag server which currently is being updated.

They are showing fine here though.

Don't worry my friend if your other strains are fine it will just be a genetic trait, It will probably grow out of it. When growing from seeds you always get an odd deformed one.

Strainhunter, thanks! I have added an extra fan in my cabinet and turned off a lightbulb so hopefully that'll keep it a bit cooler.

Marathanman, the plant looks a lot healthier than what it was before. So I just assumed it was a genetic thing. I am still treating it with the same love and care as the rest of my babies.
