Twisted fan leaves

[Leeski]

Hi new to all this but have been researching and learning as I go or at least trying to
My plant has started to twist her fan leaves any advise please would be cool?

Could be Boron Def. (but probably isnt)
Maybe they twist the leaves because of something with the light?
Or you got a fan blowing on the leaves?
Truth is, we can only guess with 1 picture no description or additional infos and a light where u cant see the real colour of the leaves

Those leaves are bending to face intense reflected light.

Agree with Chef123 ... the blurple distorts the leaf colour.

But personally, I wouldn't worry about that fan or the one on the other side too much. That one is also twisted a bit which kind of points to fans/air movement doing the twisting. Some might disagree with me (and that's what these boards are for) but I would be trimming those off fairly soon anyways.

I gradually take those large lower fan leaves off once there is good branch development down there. I would rather have light hit my potential bud sites.

How high are the lights over the plant?

About 12” above plant what ever was wrong with her she seems to have sorted it out thanks for all advise

That light distance is way too close. Good luck.

I respectfully disagree.

I have two LED's about 10" above my canopy and both girls are doing fine. One of them is the same size as the picture above. They are both green with no funky looking leaves and happily growing towards the lights. As long as they are a good sized plant, they should be able to handle an LED at about 1' away.

If a light source is too close the uppermost leaves will be most affected.
