I think there is something messed up with one of my girls. I've been watching her new growth and it's all degenerated and dry, yellow in the middles of the fan leaves growing out to green points. This new growth is dry and brittle, sometimes holes seem to form, leaves are twisted and grow out strangely. I'm worried b/c it doesnt seem to fit any deficiency models and it looks similar to a mosaic virus. I've noticed some of the growth on another plant seems to have a few of these characteristics which would lead me to believe its bacterial/viral/fungal something that one plant could catch from another hence my question as to whether to pull this girl and focus on the other two. here's pics:

of course it could be that the lights fell on that one plant the most severely and this is just the result of that stress and it will just take time to grow out but i don't know because new growth still looks like its all messed up...i'll give her til wednesday then make a decision about culling i guess.
be easy

    I agree looks like your heavy in the nutes and maybe some bugs. If you don't know of any viruses around your area it's highly doubtful you just wound up with one. Remeber they're weeds. Chop of the foliage that's dead and messed up and let it grow. There's only a few strands that are really picky about food and environment. Next time you take pics turn off colored lights so we can actuallly see what's going on with the plants. Happy growing

    word, i'll be watering with some lowered pH R/O h2o and let the girls eat the nutes in the soil for another week before starting with week 5 FF trio soil schedule @ 1/2 strength. thanks for the help

    So you're saying I should prune off the foliage that appears damaged...will this cause undue stress to the plant? I'm just concerned about potential hermies down the road which could affect the other two girls who are relatively well off right now...thanks for the help though, i'll definitely be considering doing this
