This one vegged claw-like leaves throughout, then took 12 weeks to flower when the rest of the same beans acted normally.
Dude I have a super lemon haze like that, I got the clone from a close freind. He got the clone from one of his close friends. All the plants that where started from that one bean where like that, they called it the alien plant. I heard it is like some super top shelf but Im just starting flowering so Ill let you know lols.

here ya go. this was a mr nice master kush x afghan haze. she broke free of her lst bindings and shed a lot of lower branches on her own. so i had to start tying her down again during flower. then all her leaves went yellow but she kept ripening. she was an awful pain in the ass but the smoke was something else. bitch went 13 weeks. all her sisters acted right though.

Unfortunately I don't have pics but I had an experience with an F1 Chiesel plant (blue cheese x sour diesel ) that was a triploid with very strange leaf formation. All leaf edges were almost completely round (no pointed edges, no pointed tips) and at the same time had a "wrinkle" effect to the entire leaf surface. Out of 4 different phenos (not counting this "mutant") I had never experienced this growth pattern again. This single female had a noticeable increase in potency over the other 4 phenos, but suffered a slightly smaller yield than average for the strain.

To this day I still have not had this deformity/gene mutation occur again. I still wonder if that was an extremely rare pheno or just a mutant. I am leaning more towards mutant as none of the clones took and an attempt at seeding proved to be a pure fail.
This was the first and last time I had experienced this sort of thing going on with any strain and or pheno. It was unusual to say the least.


:edit: That single plant carried the triploid characteristic almost full term through flower. Only the last 6 or so nodes returned to normal and it never over-came the strange leaf growth.

Supa gnarly!

This is almost certainly due to overwatering..

Overwatering many times goes hand-in-hand with Nitrogen toxicity and/or pH issues. Both of which in the flowering stage can and a lot of times will cause the leaf "claw" although pH fluctuation usually results in sideways twisting leaves forming a "crab/lobster claw" I know I'm a little late on posting this but I wanted to bring this thread back up anyways.

I've had a few that have done the same thing. Brand new batches of soil (I amend and re-use soil usually) sometimes end up being a little high in N (for me at least)and the more sativa dominant phenos usually get this leaf curling, but not normally until the switch to 12/12. I've always just thought it was excess N during the switch to and beginning of flower.

For me it seems to take quite a bit of time to completely recover from N toxicity and it will definitely lengthen flowering. I even had a real picky bitch one time that wouldn't finish. Took it to 16.5 weeks and gave up (Keep in mind, this was a slightly Indica Dominant hybrid). It made decent bubble, but that's about it. Very racy, short lived, paranoid high.

I grow everything fully organic but haven't made the step to teas yet and maybe never will. I use the same recipe my grandfather taught my father and my father taught mepretty much my version of sub's "super soil" that I've been using for a long time. The only things I add are plain water every other watering, in between the plain water schedule I mix in blackstrap molasses, and top dress with alfalfa meal, fish emulsion and worm castings when needed. (Not always all three at the same time). It's excellent other than the sometimes excess levels of Nitrogen for outdoor gardens and with a few changes can meet the needs of any plant. Outdoors I usually bury fish 1-2 feet down. The corn, beans, and squash all love it ;-)

After seeing those pics I'm on the fence now. Not sure if its a mutation /deformity or if its due to high N soil.

I have a Big Bomb plant that has been under 12/12 for 7 weeks now and is still growing vegetatively. I have 4 other Big Bombs that started to flower after a week of 12/12 and all the other conditions are the same for this plant so I think it might be genetic. I imagine that if I were to drop the photoperiod down to 11/13 or 10/14 it would eventually start to bud, but it probably won't bud under 12/12 do to some strange genetics.

That being said I have had to continuously top the plant because it keeps growing vertically do to being in veg state, kinda like being in a perpetual state of "stretch". So this topping may be interefering with flowering hormones and causing it to not bud.

I have a hunch that some Hombolt Counties Own Bush Master may give it just enough kick to put it into flower, I'm going to give that a try
