So let's go chronicle:
Set up - Black Widow seeds, Mainline/Manifold grow method, 2 gallon Hempy buckets with 70/10/10/5, coco/perlite/growstones/worm castings. Head's modified Lucas formula for Coco using GH Flora series, 6ml Flora Micro, 9ml Flora Bloom, 3ml Cal/Mag and 1 tsp Epsom Salts per gallon.
12/27 - 5 seeds planted directly into the 2 gallon buckets. All germed. Started under T5's then moved to the cabinet under 400W MH

1/18 - mainline first cut and 5 clones taken for sexing and mother plants

2/1 - Sex determined on the clones for mother plants, two females out of the 5 seeds. These two mothers moved under T5 lights.

2/15 - Final cut of the mainline to 8 cola, 4 clones taken from each of the two mainline plants, clones planted in straight coco Hempy solo cups. Put under 24/0 in the side light of the T5's

Ok here is where it started getting weird! Have you seen this before?
3/11 - 7 Clones transplanted into 2 gallon Coco Hempy's, one crashed, a table collapse while watering the solo cups. Began veg under the SS400 LED, noticed at this point the clones were beginning to show sex. Why I don't know as they had been under 24/0 since they rooted.

3/18 - Flipped the SS 400 to Bloom and began flowering the 7 clones. It was at this point that I first noticed the deformation. My assumption at that time was the coco mix was causing the problem and I began heavy flushing, first with multi gallons of straight rain water, pH 8+ ppm 12. I then flushed multi times with pH'ed rain water with Cal/Mag & epsom salts added.

3/24 Still seeing the deformation, flushed yet again with pH'ed (5.9) and Cal/Mag'ed (4ml/gal) water.
Going to give them only treated water for the next few days then begin feeding again at a lower rate till I see some improvement.

I am seeing two pheno's, one is taller and the buds are thinner and more airy, the other is more compact and much denser buds. There is no way I could grow these in my cabinet without training to Mainline/Manifold method or possibly a SCROG. They are 33 and 36" tall even growing with this method, and with the buckets they are 42 and 45" my cabinet is just under 72 inches and with the light I have around 60 inches. It's tight.
I will have more on this grow when I journal soon.
