New growth curling and leaf tacoing! Russet mites or stress?

does not look like mites to me. Think your over thinking it. I would leave it and continue as you have been. https://420life.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Marijuana-Leaf-Deficiency-Chart-scaled.jpg Here s a leaf chart for other issues.

Thats how healthy rapid grows looks, with time they fill up with chlorophyll and get darker. If you had previously dark fresh grow - means you was overfeeding . Neem oil is a tricky thing, one rule is golden - dont spray plants in flower ! I doubt you have any pests at the moment.

Hey 👋 I would agree to kingcrab. No serious reason to react. If you fear you could have some issues with pests & fungus you are in the best time to react as flowering is not in a late stage. Hope this helped.

yo bro, first off—calm down, don’t go full DEFCON 1 yet 😂 that don’t look like russet mites (not classic damage). • russets = taco’d, shiny, clawed leaves + rapid stunt + brittle new growth → yours looks more like heat stress or light stress + slight overwatering maybe • heatwave? intense sun? yep, looks like that kinda party • neem+azadirachtin+soap? yeah it’ll clap soft pests but russets need heavy artillery (sulfur, oils, or predator mites if it’s real) 👉 key move: ✅ check under leaves with loupe/microscope ✅ fix airflow + watering first before spraying ✅ russets destroy plants FAST (2–3 weeks max) if left, but this ain’t screaming russet yet right now? chill—adjust environment, double-check, don’t nuke it unless you got proof 💯 good luck growmie 👊
