Thanks for the comments.. they really helped me out.. LOL!
Lol. Well it looks healthy other than the color. Maybe it's a variegated version! :ROFL:

Seriously though, give us all your details..

Soil type
Watering schedule
Nutes you're feeding, if any.
Air temps
Type of lights
How close you keep your lights to plants

Also, it looks like you're growing in Coco, if so, you must be feeding them something since Coco has no nutes in it. Let us know that and the other questions I asked previously.

hydro grow.. half strength nutes.. 6.0 ph.. that's all i got.. just trying to correct the problem before the rest of my plants get deficiencies. I'm using Fox Farm Grow Big Hydro Plant Food.. 3-2-6.. half strength.

Hmm. Ok. It's gotta be some sort of deficiency then. I would try something new with one plant and leave the other just in case whatever you try makes it worse.

As your plants get larger, you need to increase the strength of the nutes, so if you haven't done that yet, that could be it.

I'm starting to feel like this one needs a new home, but I don't have any lights that can light up a plant of this size, especially not if placed in a larger container.

I can't believe we have members with plants like this already! Way to go.

Two questions: Do you have cats?? And did one of them urinate in your pot?
 
My guess is its either some kind of crazy nutrient deficiency (which shouldn't have happened so quickly, usually they appear gradually), or something burnt up your roots (like cat urine.. based on prior experience.. lol).
 
Either way I'd try to flush that pot for a while with plain water and then water back with nutes, or take that thing out of the growing medium, flush it with a hose (this will give you a good look at the root system) and repot in new medium. It'll set you back 1-2 weeks but it's better than losing the whole plant!

No cats.. and no need for flushing them.. roots look healthy.

My tiny plants. Not having a grow tent this year is a huge challenge in my freezing garage. Time to switch bulbs

Never grown hydro before, so if you want my opinion I'd say something is weird in your reservoir. Put it in some ocean forest! That should do the trick

Hmm.. didn't know it was a hydro grow! In that case the nutrient deficiency could definitely happen that quickly. Are you using calmag with your nutes?

Theres your problem. Hydro. Ha

When things go wrong, they go wrong quickly. No soil biology to buffer the system. You have to KNOW exactly what youre doing. Dont get me wrong, I love hydro for indoor novelty growing, but its likely to throw wild swings in ph, ppm, etc if youre not on top of it. Have a good ph/ppm meter, know your nutes, and use RO water if you want to be sure.

Now Im not saying a hydro plant couldnt win this competition either, it would just have to have a res the size of a 55gallon barrel with the best aeration youve ever seen. Hell just grow into a continuous 55 gallon batch of AACT! That would be how I did it.
Even then, Id still put flavors of the fruits fed by soil up against hydro any day.
