Well start off looks like your growing in soil and 5.8 is a tad low on your ph imo you can try to bring it up at least close to 6.5. Also whats your temps at? High temps can sometimes cause what im seeing in the pick or could just be strain dependent or just a genetic mutation. Only thing i could recommend is bring your ph up at the time and if there healthy let it ride if its not hurting the grow any. Peace.

I'd have to agree, looks like genetic mutation. I was given some seeds years ago on trade for an 1/8th. I was told the seeds were the bomb. The leaves looked almost identical to yours. I continued to grow them separate from the rest of my plants. At 12/12 I ended up with 2 girls out of 10. The 2 plants I harvested produced a couple ounces each. The smoke was weak, kinda reminded me of schwag.

I agree it's unlikely anything you've done, but is a mutation of the strain, I'm interested to see how she turns out. What I will say is STOP WATERING YOUR PLANTS ON THE LEAVES!!!!! I get super paranoid about it after burning a plant once but yeah, you stick that baby under a light with droplets like that on her leaves, she's gonna burn! so yeah, be more careful with watering or dab them dry with a bit of loo roll after :)

and i was only spraying the leaves just before the lights go out to try and keep the moisture up within the grow area

yeah let her grow, see what happens. At the worst, you'll have a bit of practice :) my humidity was really low, like under 20% even with the lights off, so I bought a lil humidifier for £30 and that does the trick while the lights are on, spraying them just didn't last long enough to make it worthwhile. I have to remember to turn it off though as it turns into a rainforest when the lights are off lol, went to 98% haha!

for seedlings and veg, anything from 30 to 80%, higher being better, then when flowering you want it over 20 still but under 50% to protect the buds :)

here are some more pics, seems like some of the leaves that were normal are starting to turn weird. when it first sprouted from the seed, it did only make 1 leaf, i see lots of pics with 2 leaves straight away, as soon as it came out it it made 1 leaf that looked like a blender blade, could my lights be causeing this? im useing 4 cfls about 1.5 inch from the top of the plant, they are only 11w tho could it be too little power? my grow space in small, 800cm high by 400cm wide and deep. im not sure if i should carry on with this plant as reading threads that people who have had weed that has done weird things like this end up having rubbish quality,

any and all advice is greatly welcomed

Mutation of the strain? Srsly?

But you are correct on the water droplets on the plant, this is NOT where you want to be watering, i.e. the LEAVES. You want to put the water on the ROOTS.

I grow some marijuana outside upon occasion and whenever I have the misfortune of rain, I get a roll of paper towels and dry them off immediately.

Otherwise they get burn marks.
