Yeah we told him that already...he wont listen. Hes trying to get his confirmation of heat stress and only the ppl that dont have a clue about broad mites say its heat stress. Heat stress dont twist only broad mites
So, given the additional info, are you still certain it's broad mites? Thanks for the advice!
No such thing as hemp mozaic virus...New studies show that hemp can not get any viruses period!!! The study proved it is broad mites.
They can do both : make the leaves curl up like tacos and spiral the leaves or mozaic leaves. I have had both responses
Thanks for the advice guys. In a previous post I pointed out that this branch was the tallest when I had a different configuration of my Sun screen, which failed and partially fell onto the plant. This happened several times before I rebuilt my screen and that plant was always left poking out through the seem when the screen fell, so it was broken, likely sunburned, and repeatedly subject to the screen whipping it as it flapped loose in the wind. I'm not denying that it could be something other than heat stress, it's just that it seems to be a rather open and shut case of it as any affected areas of the plant are areas that were exposed to burning direct Sun as I observed and improved my Sun screen. I now have the plant sufficiently shaded and expect to see no progression of these symptoms. The twisting pictured is isolated to that one branch and at the top, where it was whipped and exposed. I will wait and see, and per diabolical's recommendation, I have carefully removed the branch and deposited it in the dumpster. Again, thanks for reading and I sincerely appreciate and respect any feedback.
Thanks for the heads up about broad mites, I had never heard of them. Although I have no interest in entering a debate, especially given that I am quite new to growing and have relatively little experience with it. So I have no intention of being a know-it-all or ignoring input from anyone, but I can't help but question the certainty you seem to have in your diagnosis when shown such little evidence and in all fairness you had me confused with someone else from the start. U claimed I already posted about this and got my answer but I think my profile shows that I just joined that day, in case proof is necessary that I am not the person you claimed already asked about this and was given an answer.
I think you have me confused with someone else.. I've never told you you have broad mites until you made this thread. ..but I hope you don't have them they are the worst makes you want spidermites instead. ...I've seen heat damage and that's not what it looks like your plant is twisting it's not burned. ..and something whipping it over and over will not make it twist imo...The rest of your plant is fine it's only one area that's affected that's another sign that it's not heat stress!! The evidence is all around you u just don't know what to look for... they are tiny you may or may not be able to see them with your naked eye...again I hope you don't have them I got them last year completely ruined 5 huge plants I got 3 good nuggets the rest was twisty garbage lettuce looking bud...I also figured it was heat stress... even tho none of my other plants looked like that and we're getting hit just as hard... I went to my local hydro shop asked some dude and he told me it was broad mites said they hit cali hard this year and nothing kills them because they burrow into the plant so you can never really get them all ...sm 90 during flower is your friend use it if it is broad mites!!use a magnifying glass and inspect your plant..
