Same happened to mine and it grew fast, but this defect never went away so I got rid of it.

This happened to mine, and they were from the same place as Clint's, since I gave one to him. It did that for while, so I neglected it. It got super dry, all the leaves died, and it seemed to disappear underground. Then, I added water, and it got normal. Now it looks great. So I dunno what to tell ya. I suppose you could risk neglecting it, but I'm not sure if that's even what made mine better.

I got mine from JLAP and they are growing fast and with normal leaves. when I got them they had that upright look like gliders.
I have them in 50% humidity temps 65-75, and under 40 watts of floros.
peace,

mine are in 70% humidity, 2 26 watt CFs (output of 100w each), temps 60 night 70-75 day.

They simply appear to be transitional leaves, partially in Winter-leaf form. Many of mine do this off and on, regularly.

I had a 'Titan' clone that did this for a little over a year after a rather serious aphid infestation. Not only did the leaves curl like that; they were super short, at most a fifth of the size of the ordinary leaves. It just went a way after a while - now that plant is huge and the growth point has fissioned several times. You may have to wait until some event triggers your plants to start growing differently. Perhaps a supplement like Superthrive might kick it into gear. I don't know how Pings react in general to Superthrive, though, so you might want to look into it before trying.

Yeah, i've got the same thing going on i think

One thing I do that frequently inspires leaf-form to shift is lightly sprinkle with dried powdered insects, and another is to change lighting duration and intensity.

well. its reverted to normal...but only after i put them under 4ft shop lights.
