New growth twisted

New growth is twisted, am I over thinking things or is this the beginning of a problem?

Soil: FFOF/HF amended with 4-4-4 all purpose, EWC, kelp meal, and fish bone meal

Lights: SF1000 and a HLG 135 V2 dimmed

81° / 45% RH

Strain: Zkittles og Auto

Water: When pot feels light 6.8 pH tap water 230ppm

Are they autos or photos? If they're photos, did you just switch to 12/12? If so, it's my understanding that some strains will do this as they transition out of the veg state.

Edit: Read again and saw they're autos. Welcome to flowering and good luck!

Ok cool so I'm over thinking things? I don't see any preflower yet on that plant. I haven't run autos in about 5 years. The other ones that started to show sex aren't twisted.

It's better to be observant and catch problems before they turn into bigger problems but I think you should be all set. Definitely keep an eye on it, though. I ran into this issue last week with the one auto that I'm currently growing (White Widow XXL) ..In less than a week the preflowers set in and flowering has begun. As for why your others don't have any twisting, it may have to do with the geno/phenotypes that you're working with. Anyway, here's a link for reference in case anyone else runs into this issue.

You shouldnt need to add any fertilizer to FFOF until the plant is flowering.

What breeder is that zkittles from? Fast buds?

She looks like she is dancing the threshold to nutrient burn to me. Which is an OK thing, just give her clear water for a while.

Interested how it turns out. The fast buds was garbage.

I've been taking pictures and writing down everything I do using an app. I actually do it for all my plants. Who knows if it turns out great I'll do a journal. Is that even how journals work? Lol never did one

Did you add those nutes to fresh FF soil? EWC yes, but the other stuff is probably doing more harm than good now. Fish bone meal is more for flower than veg. It's high in P.

I added it all to the soil in a tub and let it cook for a few months. Also very new to organic growing. So not sure if this was the right move.

It would've been better to start with straight FF mixed with some perlite or pumice, and some EWC. Then top dressing with the other stuff as it needs it. FFOF is hot to begin with.

I did 4 plants and did some experimenting with 2 of them. I put the hot mix on the bottom 1/3 of pot, then ocean forest the rest, and a pocket of happy frog for the seed.
