Strange Pheno or just a deficiency?

Hey people, first post. Been reading this forum more than others lately, great wealth of information. I'm having trouble finding someone with the same symptom, though. Hope this is the right place for this question, I'm not sure if it's strain or grower related.


I only grow bagseed, and I'm not organized about the seeds, so I really don't know what strain this is (makes it more fun). It's probably from a dispensary but it might not be. I almost pulled her during veg the first time because she just doesn't look healthy. Fortunately, I let her be and have a new strain that I can't let go. Pine-Sol, Lemon, and Diesel goodness all over her buds, with a decent yield for my growing skills. If the end product is a judge, then it shouldn't be lacking in any nutrients. But if it is deficient, then I bet it has that much more potential.

I've been calling her "S" Plant because of it, but she seems to grow back and forth, all curvy like. It's really noticeable when she's a baby clone, as she'll never start by going straight up. Once some branches form, this makes her look like she's deliberately moving her lower branches into the light. Her stems have some purple in them, too.

Her initial sets of leaves will also twist. Her leaves continue to twist as the plant gets older, but it isn't nearly as noticeable when the leaves get some size to them. Everything else looks perfectly healthy, imho. Have a two clones of it in flower now, two more in veg, exact same symptoms.


This is the only strain I've had do this. I read somewhere, probably here, that DJ Short's Blueberry sometimes has leaves that do this, so maybe it's just the pheno? I really wish I knew. The attached pic is in full flower, and doesn't really show what I'm talking about. I do have a new clone that just set some roots. I'll try to get a pic of her in the next few weeks, hopefully she'll have grown some by then (The others are all tied over to control her leggyness).

In case this pops up in a search, the leaf twist was a magnesium deal. I give her twice the cal-mag now and that problem went away.

Then I up'd the PH, and the purple stems got better. Idk really, probably P or K.

She still grows out of her own way, but that's cool.
