For any of you who happen to have read this or care here is my previous post: In Over My Head?

My head has leveled a bit since then. Unfortunately that is due not to my illustrious powers of confidence or self control but just because things are looking up a bit.

Temps hovering at 80! First frost has hit and that helped alot just because the whole damn house is freezing. I also put up a plexiglas shield hanging a few inches below the light. Ive had to cut off the fan i had running because this kills any benefit from the plexiglas (but i really dont think it was helping anything anyway). I've got yeast and sugar bubbling away in a bottle too, so hopefully the buds will be able to breath a little deeper.

PROBLEM:
If you would please take a look at the pictures down below. The first two are of the runt. She is curling underneath herself and drooping something sad.. Any idea whats going on here? Suggestions?

The next two pictures are different plants that seem to be suffering slightly from the same malady as the first. There are stronger and more lively in general, but display some of the same characteristics.. The final picture is an example of the generally healthy remainder.

Also, there is a pretty big difference of appearance (mainly leaf shape and structure), as im sure you can see for yourself. This is bagseed, but its out of a single bag which was almost certainly one variety. Is this normal, or do I have multiple strains growing?

If you could take pics with your HPS off, it would be a lot easier to see what's going on. It kinda looks like nute burn or maybe lack of Mg. But, it's hard to tell.

Looks like slight mutations. Could be from inbreeding.
Alot of time's they grow out of it... From what I have read from others that have experienced this...

Sorry! Next time ill turn off the hps, youre right it is harder to see in such harch light.

Thanks for the info shiningwind! I wasnt so worried about that issue, more curious, but every bit of knowledge gained im happy about.

Alright so I was figuring it was some over or under exposure to nutrients, good to here im on the right track with that atleast. Tetra you say its zinc? Im guessing thats the abbreviation for it.. I dont know what else zn would be..

Anyway, is there too much or too little, and what should i do about it?
I havent been feeding them anything, the only nutes, theyve got are the ones in the soil which is half miracle grow organic, half plain old unadulterated dirt, with a couple handfuls of perlite. Any suggestions?

Thanks as always, you guys are so helpful!
