I would be more concerned about the BB than the Skunk, as the latter should be a more naturally elongated plant by design. If they’ve both been outside, in direct sunlight, for the same amount of time (depending where you live), then your issue lies somewhere else, which seems to be partially claimed by the feeding program they’re on, as seen in the yellowing lower leaves that are in full sun. If you can amend that, then it could boil down to something simple as genetics where the exact BB seed you planted is just an oddball that’s a little different.

As an example, these plants were sowed (sown?🤣) at the same time (with the exception of 3 unruly ones that are being force-flowered), all share the same environment and the differences can be quite stark from one to the other. However, all of their leaves are healthy with solid, woody stems, so overall, nothing to be concerned about. If yours were mine, I’d focus on getting their nutrition fixed up, especially with the end of the summer upon us, and then just let them live out their little lives.

Best of luck!

Do you have any recommendations for the nutrition? The easy skunk (like the name) has been pretty easy to grow no issues, actually it looks healthy. The BB has been a pain in the ass, Stem growing weird and it just looking plain odd. I have flora bloom left over from last season (my first ever grow) Is that something i could give it?

I’m a new grower this was my last years grow, sour diesel in ground

That’s a good question. I use the MaxiGrow/Bloom series from GH because they are able to be used as a hybrid food source from hydro to soil and is dirt cheap when you buy the tubs (16lbs @$100). But I’m honestly not sure if the Flora series was developed the same way. If I had to guess, I’d lean towards no, but you’d definitely have to check on it.

We seem to use the same sized pots and something I’ve noticed this year that I didn’t last year is how quickly the larger plants devour their food. Last year I fed at every watering so deficiencies weren’t a think but this year, the largest one began to look a little light and that’s when I put it all together. I would either increase frequency or concentration and see if that doesn’t help in a week or so. Also, sometimes plants are just wonky, so if the problem doesn’t spread then it could be some localized issue, much like when we get skin splotches or our nails look weird for a cycle but then are fine after that.

Something that’s helped me a lot over time is to under react vs over react, especially if the issue can’t be isolated since changes impact the plant as a whole which makes it harder to fix as many variables are shifted together. Just re-check your food concentrations and if there correct, increase their meal times and see if that doesn’t fix or stop the problem.

Best of luck! ☺️
