I transplanted some rootbound clones a week ago, but a few of them aren't growing properly since. Most of them are doing fine, but there are a few that are not doing well, and it's all one strain (4SD). Furthermore, it's all new growth that has the elderly dying look to it. Old growth looks decent. WTF?

I transplanted into FF ocean forest/light warrior mix.
I watered with water + aquashield + pppro grow
Temps are a little high (80 to 85) and humidity is a little low (20%)

What is it?? Is there a root disease?

They look overfed to me with possible PH issues. I would flush with RO water and cut out the feedings. Ocean Forest has enough nutes without additional needed.

Ok thanks guys, I'll try to flush and see if it helps. No real pest issues.

I was starting to worry that it is TMV or something, as the leaves look somewhat leathery and ill. Also, some of the plants in my garden have wierd bleached twisted finger on some of the leaves. Fkin TMV, thatd suck if that's what this is.

The appearance is crepey to me, and that, along with twisting, usually indicates the pH range isn't where the plant needs it. Monitor and adjust pH up and down, note plant responses.

Photograph the weird plants that make you think TMV.

I flushed the plants with a decent amount of 6.7 ph water. Enough so that a quarter to half gallon came out the overflow holes in the pots. The water that came out the bottom was 5.5 p, so it is safe to assume that it was a ph problem? Does that seem extreme enough to mutilate a plant? Should i flush more thoroughly or is a half gallon of drainage enough?

The signs I thought might be TMV were burned twisting fingers on otherwise healthy looking fan leaves. I'm thinking that might be related to ph and nute burn though. Thanks for all the help people.

Yes, considering that just like earthquake seismic numbering, pH is logarithmic or some crazy mathematical shit like that. And another yes, because in my experience it doesn't have to be that far out of range to cause the appearance you've depicted.

And, if feeding chemical salt-based ferts, it's common for the pH in the media to end up dropping like a rock.

Not enough to consider mosaic virus.
