It has something to do with either the soil, the nutrients, or possibly the watering schedule, or maybe the lighting and humidity?

Have you grown this strain before? The reason I ask is, it may just be a genetic thing. It doesn't look like it's unhappy in my opinion and sometimes when they are growing fast they can ripple like that and in time will straighten out. Some strains have a twist in the leaves too...

I wouldn't stress on it too much unless it develops into something more severe looking. The plant looks pretty green and happy to me.

More info, Plants are outdoor plants, Soil is a blend of 707 & native in 200 galloin pots amended with Blood meal, Feather meal, Alfalfa meal, Seabird guano, Gypsum, Rock dust, compost,Kelp meal, and Perlite. Soil does have some clay. Weather was hot last week with 10 days in a row over 100 degrees and very low humidity. Plants did get heavily over watered one time. Timer did not shut off. Letting the soil dry out now, have to be careful though don't want to over do it in this hot dry climate. Temps are always at least 90F this time a year most days closer to 100F. Water is from a well PH is 7.2 it's hard and has some ferrous iron ( clear water iron ).

MrBungle you pretty much covered everything it could possibly be. Maybe you could narrow it down a little. LOL

Genetics has something to do with it because a plant growing in the same pot that is a different strain is not doing it.

MrBungle · 07-02-2017, 08:00 PM

it looks like the plants had a major pH swing.. did you transplant them into this mix recently?

sixpak · 07-02-2017, 08:07 PM

No they have been in the same pots for almost a month.

Come to think of it, it looks like the beginning of an over watering issue. The soil is probably too to firmly packed down and the roots aren't getting any air causing this twisting you're seeing. I had to refresh my memory but I have had a plant do this exact same thing when the soil was just too wet for too long.

Once thing you can do is aerate the soil with a long screwdriver or something similar. Pop several holes. This helps with loosening up the soil a bit and getting some oxygen back down there to help things dry out a bit. This has saved me many times.

In any case, good luck and let us know how it goes.
