These are clones from the plants in my Abused DWC CFL Grow. The donor plant was normal looking with good node spacing and nice big fan leaves. The clones look like mutants, with stunted leaves, leaves that are stretched, flat stems, all sorts of stuff.

What is causing this? Can it be fixed? And will the plant still tield well with/without being fixed?

ive never seen that. all you can do is hope for the best. i would think the problem will correct itself once its well rooted

I've seen it with a clone before.

Can't say that I know why it happens though.

It'll produce flowers...no worries.

ummm where do the roots go? I see pieces of cardboard looking stuff...but no pots?

Are there holes in the desk looking thing that they are sitting on?

It's an aerogarden I use for cloning now. The roots are in a res with a pump drippng water at the base. Check the thread for details.

check your nute levels. looks like you're good on nitrogen, but lacking in phosphorous and potassium. check your ph to make sure it's not crazy and if not, feed them

I don't have the ability to take those measurements except for the pH which is perfect around 5.5-6. The donor plants vegged on the same nutes with no problems and these guys are on half strength and don't look too hungry.

I am not as experienced with clones as I should be but I believe that's natural. I can't remember why it happens but it'll correct itself once rooted. Also you shouldn't use cardboard as it will breed mold especially with hydro.

They're all well rooted, but thanks for the cardboard heads up
