Edit: Thanks in advance, this forum is lot more active than THCfarmer lol

You 100% need a scope regardless of issues showing or not.

I don’t know if Insee mite issues, what are you growing, nutes, lights, medium?

the way some of these leaves are beginning to curl up it could actually be hemp Russet mites.

Mites common home is the underside of leaf. But when there present this side of the leaf will also show some spotting which you have none.
So I would say , no mites.

Yeah I was thinking that too from the internet searches I've been doing since yesterday

Shut me down 6 months ago, cleaned my area and left it empty for 6 months too

I dont think Russets leave spots though...I'd have to check with scope still but I'd probably spray and cut that part off for now

Tbh with you I barely see any spots on your plants.

I don't see spots either but the thing that worries me most is the leaf curling...I don't know what else causes that kind of curl

I dont see anything wrong.

Russet/broad mites really are the only thing that causes this kind of curl.

This kind of curl.

That looks nothing like leaf curl from russet mites.

I can't think of anything else that would cause that kind of leaf curl

I sprayed some Pylon that a friend let me use on there 3 days ago...but I don't think that would cause that

What else would cause that kind of curl from your experience?

Is this indoors? If so, where is your light in inches from the plants? And how many watts?

 

[Hiphophippo]

Looks like your light mite be to close and the top leafs are a little hot but other than that doesn’t look like anything is wrong

If you would like me to say it’s mites then I’ll say it’s mites but it’s really not listen to the advice bud or don’t ask for it

 

[waterproof808]

heat, wind burn, low humidity, etc. can all make leaves curl

Indoor vegged under 600w MH lights about 24 inches from the tops
