Hi Sticky, it can be a combination of many things but I experience this from tops that are closer to the light and with plants that have explosive growth, maybe the fact it's growing to fast from all the nutrients? Either way your plants look really healthy nothing to worry about unless the whole plant start turning this way.

I get this a lot, What i've figured out is its a Calcium uptake problem for twisted new growth, but reason for happening is the soil ph being to low. I got a blue lab ph pen and found out that my media was around 5.3 after watering which is bad cause from salt build up, over watering, root rot, all these cause the media to drop in ph out of the sweet spot Its important to check this around weeks 3 and 4 of flower as that's typically when your rhizosphere starts getting out of the sweet spot once its out of the sweet spot the first thing you see is light twisted top growth, I am working on a new journal with this problem in it I have simply increased my PH to 6.3-6.5 ( typically 6.0) You should try the same Water when the pot is bone dry and youll see some major difference PS if you add a layer of perlite on the bottom of the pot it will help prevent root rot!

It's either heat or wind related.

Hi @Stickyfingers420! From my experience, heat and high relative humidity can lead to these symptoms. Try to lower you average temp and you should be fine. Happy growing! 👊

Sometimes seen that if kept soil too moist for too long. When you let it dry out and start watering like day later than this far you gonna be fine. I think it's because roots can't get enough air when moist all the time. Happy growing!

hey there, good question ! what happened is you've been slightly over watering this whole time so the soil stayed humid longer than it should eventually leading to root issues. Sounds worse than it is. So you can tell there's some overwatering based on the puffy space between the veins of your leafs, and more recently the slight undercurl. This lead to adverse microbial life making a home in the soil. this in turn affected the roots and this is what leads to the curling of the leafs. To remedy this, nothing easier, just water a few pints less and wait a bit longer between waterings, i would suggest the bag lifting method, but as you've got big bags, maybe use a hygrometer theyre very cheap, you just stick it in to see how dry it is below the surface, and it doesnt really matter if you break roots as you stick it in there as the plant quickly grows new ones. Beyond these preventative measures, I do suggest watering with an enzyme or other chelation agents to break down the problem roots and remedy the problem , try the flower booster (which is just humic and fluvik acid), or a tiny bit of flushing agent, unless you have a product like cannazym on hand, i dont sell the stuff by the way, just one from the top of my head. Hope this helps ! 🚀

The twisted growth will not correct itlsef even if the problem was addressed, only the new growth should be now fine. It is most probably minor elements lockout due over feeding. I would get an EC / PPM meter to help feeding,

Hey my friend… ! to my point of view it s clearly a zinc deficiency… close to the second stage ! wich means that u are surely Under other micro nutrients lock out ! quick question : are you sure of your pH calibration tester ? zinc is an immobile micro nutrient ...wich mean that when it is fixed in the leave he can't move trought veine...which mean that it is the new leaves first that are affected... you have to solution ; the faster - low your pH at 6.2 / 6.1 => and go choose on google the solution wich seems to you the best ! it s not too hard to balance but you have to do as soon as possible… or for me the best solution is a massive innculation on fungi/bacterias as a bio regulator controler….feel free to take a look on my second Week on my diay let mother do the job ...i give tips and ggod description of how they can work 👍 hope this help ! 🙏 feel free to ask if you need more advice

Could be light stress, have you had a power blackout? could you have light leaks? Sometimes leaves curl when they are on a veg light cycle then switch to a bloom light cycle and back to veg.
