Wrinkled/deformed leaves on seemingly healthy plant

Hey growers,

Have some plants for the outdoor season I started from seed (feminized), and have one girl that has some leaf deformation, particularly on one half of the leaf in most cases. From the beginning it has been doing this, but the plant looks otherwise healthy albeit a little smaller than the others. I started 5 seeds from a pack with 4 different strains, and it appears I have 3 different strains (3 of one, and 2 different ones from those). This one is definitely its own strain, and it STINKS compared to the other ones. I had a grower friend tell me sometimes you can get mutants that look like that and they can produce interesting/tasty plants, and while I dont doubt his comments, I figured I'd ask if anyone has had similar experiences.

I started the seeds on April 6, so they have a little over a month growing under an LED light in the garage. Just transplanted them today into containers outside (170L and 120L, or 45gal and 30gal respectively).

Any comments will be appreciated,

FYI the one overhead pic looks really light green from my camera flash but it's darker I'm reality.

while it's true that sometimes you can get "mutants" I woulnd't swear by that before making sure they're dong ok.

Have you checked pH of run off?

Are you feeding them something? If so, what and how often?

What are you using for watering? Normal tap water? Are you leaving it in an open container over night to ged rid of salts?

Haven't fed them anything yet, they were put into some ProMix seed starter and just watered for a month (pH 6.5 out the tap) until they reached that size. Did not leave the water out overnight. I just transplanted them and the substrate I used said wait 7 days before feeding. Also havent checked the run-off, next time I water I'll strain some out with a coffee filter and test it.
 
You said you moved them from indoors to outdoors? She's might be adjusting. Yes please check the runoff.

Also, those new containers drain excess water good enough?

Moved them outside this afternoon into those containers, but she's been showing this from the time she developed the first fan leaves 3 weeks ago. It was pretty cold here at the start of April, and they were growing in the garage under a 1200W LED inside a box without a heater at times. Cold stress cause that? All the other plants look great so maybe that one didnt like the cold.

And yes the containers drain well, they have holes drilled in the bottom and a thin layer of rocks.

Cheers,

Cold can definitely cause stress. Tho I'm not sure if the symptoms match.

"As the plant's metabolism slows down everything becomes much less active. The bio-chemical and enzymatic processes required for healthy growth cannot take place and vegetative vigor disappears leaving plants small and weak. The root system cannot function as it should, rendering it unable to absorb adequate nutrition." https://www.alchimiaweb.com/blogen/the-cold-during-a-cannabis-plant-crop/

Here's another source I found: https://www.growweedeasy.com/temperature#too-low-cold-temps this one has a pic that might resemble your plant, not too much tho.



What's your thoughts?

Dont think that's the problem, not too sure to be honest. Still seems to be growing fine, its upright and perky and doesnt seem to be struggling, just throwing out wierd leaves. All the other girls are happy having had the same treatment, I'll keep an eye on in and see what happens. She sure stinks though!
