DEFORMED new growth?

This plant is in the veg room and never was in flowering, medium is peat with vermiculite and I feed at 1.3 EC pH 5.8 - 6

I just noticed this today not sure how long it’s been going for - as far as I remember it didn’t have it two days ago


Any ideas ?

Looks healthy and flourished, my blackberry fire east row clone did something similar but grew out of it. Let it Grow Peace

Why vermiculite and not perlite? Most use perlite.

When I ran hempy buckets, I used verm/perlite, was amazing

Ive used it in hemys as well. Just not sure if I would want to use it with peat. Holds water more than perlite.

Nods, I’ve never used peat before, way too absorbent. I have enough issues LOL.

it does but have been able to do quite well with it, and i do put in a bit of perlite, like 10-20% I eye ball it.

Gotcha :smiley: :+1:

Agreed. In soil you need 6.2 and up. The soil will buffer the nutrients to the pH the plant likes.

Hope I’m wrong but there’s a possibility it could be caused by broad mites … :sweat:

I thought mite or virus also. I have checked under the leaves with a 90x and saw nothing yet. also, there is no shine in the leaves.

But i will be checking, thanks!

I didnt mention it, but it is a clone too. did your blackberry mother do it as well? this is a lilac diesel clone, but none of the lilac diesel mothers did this.

I bought my blackberry fire clones from the dispensary via local nursery only one had some odd growth. Mine wasn’t Ph related It grew out of it in a couple weeks. 10/1 your PH is too low Peace

That’s because perlite is cheaper and usually easier to find, vermiculite is better though imo, it’s got silica, potassium, and magnesium.

I was thinking more about the difference in water retention. But whatever works.
