What is going on with this baby she looks all deformed and has topped herself but looks healthy.

2 week of seedling 18/6 in Jack's Magic pete compost with Seaweed extract, PH around 6 same for run off and temps between 70 - 80f.

What is going on here with this seedling please?

looks over watered to me

 

[Zenocide]

The leaves are lush green and stiff like they are dried out but not lol

Confused.

Yea it looks like your substrate is very wet and compact almost like clay. Id say get a good quality soil and mix in about 20-30% pearlite and repot this girl as soon as you can. If the soil under the surface looks anything like the top, your roots are probably not getting enough oxygen. With a plant that young I doubt its any kind of deficiency or anything.

Agreed.
I've over watered an HSO - CMOG and have had similar issues with the leaves.

I don't know shit about Jack's Magic pete compost, but shouldn't your ph be over 6.5? Could just be a ph issue

I dunno guys using the same potting medium (not condensed or saturated) as the last harvest with the same watering schedule light heat etc which also topped itself but never did what these leaves have done on this one.

A couple of days on with the same schedule etc and she's improved alot with no ill effects on any new growth.

Still confused lol

Meow......

My advice is you need a bigger container.
Give her room to establish a good vast root zone.
I'm not saying ramp it up to a 5 gallon, but maybe 1 gal.

Just like MrG said "your roots are probably not getting enough oxygen".
I would do as he mentioned also and cut the mix with perlite or maybe even some coco coir.

Always keep in mind mother nature is in control no matter what the situations is too.

I am due to repot it today actually as the roots have just started to pop through the drainage holes in the seedling pot so that is on the cards very shortly and I will deffo mix some perlite in with my soil as advised.

Water only when top 2" (5 cm) are dry....too you need adequate drainage. Perlite mixed in would help aerate the roots. Is this your final container or transplanting?
