Something wrong with my mother plant.

This mother was taken as a clone, from a healthy plant 2 weeks in to flowering.
It rooted super fine, and roots growth when transplanted was healthy. Leafs started going very dark green, so i figured too much N (I havent used ANY nutes on it). I flushed a week ago, The latest few cm of stem growth is now healthy green again instead of red. But leafs as you see do not look happy.
Any good advice on this guys? :whiteflag:

Looks to me like the plant is a bit stressed, 1st from constricted roots and 2nd the light and has started to over transpire the plant which has caused the leaf'curl problem, The shine from the lamina has disappeared which give me this diagnosis, the plant will probably get a Zn issue or Mg if it continues to have too many lumens.

Chill its not to bad to be honest.

Here is a few more pics.

She is growing under 2 small t5's (2x18watt). That shouldn't cause that kind of issue should it?
Should i start a 25% nute dose perhaps? I havent fed her since the last flush.
But no not too bad. And she is still happy to send out lots of new shots.

There is the problem right there, flushing! You're overwatering and the plant is having to transpire which isn't happening fast under small wattage, just start watering like you are with a flush, don't feed her much maybe once every 3 waterings for start. See what happens.. Don't soak the plant the dry out should allow oxygen to enter the rhizosphere.

The soil is always allowed to dry properly between watering though. Will try to give her a little dose of nutes next time and then see. And thank you for the answer Dave :)

No worries. :ying: When you said flushing I thought that perhaps you were washing all the mobile nutrients away out the mix. :)

What are you going to use to feed the plant Dude?

Bio-Bizz or what?

Perhaps you could top dress the plant with 2 litres of the All-Mix and it will work through

I'm using GHE two part. And been quite happy with that so far.
That's actually a good idea with the top dressing. Gonna give that a go, before adding any nutes. Thanks :tiphat:

Transplanting is a good idea. I would transplant into a container 3x the size. But for future clone cuts, take cuts only from vegetative plants if you can.

Not that long ago i transplanted it. I'm actually convinced that the issue is too little light for a plant this size. So thanks to Dave again for that eye opener :)
And thanks to the rest chiming in too :tiphat:

Looks like the beginning of a mag deficiency. Leaves curling upward and lighter green between the veins. Mag flushes out easily. If soil is taking too long to dry out, then treat with a foliar spray with 1 tsp epsom salts per gallon for the mag deficiency.

I totaly forgot to report back here. Sorry bout that.

It was indeed the light that was the issue. It took some time recovering, but she is happy now under 6x30watt cfl's. The branching power of a clone taken in flower is amazeballs :)

Looking sweet Therealzemi. Yeah, clones taken in flower do this monster cropping thing and bush out nicely.
