Any ideas what this is the start of?

The fact that the variegated leaf-finger curves to the side, can anyone confirm if that's a sign of this being viral?? I tossed a couple plants that did this to me, just to be safe.
I doubt it I used to randomly get it all the time back in the day. Probably has been bread out of new stuff

I think I'm having the same issue. Did anyone figure it out?

I thought with my plant it may have had a combination of factors to change, I just fixed little things like PH and nutrients gradually and watched, and it seemed to outgrow any if not, at least, most funny patterns that I might have had. It was headband so there are similar genetics to gelato 45 idk what you’re growing but… I fed h2o2 mixed with water for root detox and sprayed leaves with water exc. So I just watched everything and eventually it panned out. Heat, watering, moisture.

I cant really see it on yours but mine are mine now still leafs like it but no problem with nutrients so all good
I went ahead and moved my light up a little, added some pH water to lower the PPM and its looking better already (about 6 7 hours ago). Hope I'm good to go.

I have a feeling it was the lighting since only top plants were affected. I had switched it to 100% yesterday but dimmed back to 75% this morning.

Yea PH water is good for it and lowering ppm, the light lower probably helps

So just flipped my lights to 12/12 5 days ago using shogun nutes, going off the shogun calculator online. Me e.c is 1.4 and ph 5.8-6.0 under 1600w hps

Any help be great thanks
I'll probably get f'ing booed, but I'd guess you got mildew . So many of the leaves
have that white sheen witch shows up early in the infection.

I've had that side curl on some grows. Initially, I thought it was just an odd mutation, but also noticed that it happens more frequently when I use commercial fertilized soils, and especially time release nute soils. First time it happened, I flushed the plant to insure its not a ph issue. I've never seen it occur with coco, wool, hydro and aero. I've seen similar issues with seedlings when nutrients are added to soon. I've witnessed this using same plant genetics grown in different mediums simultaneously. Only difference was medium.

the more mature the plant, I noticed plant will still grow, since it wasn't throughout plant.

Overall due to better end results with other mediums and root aeration, I've stayed away from commercial soils, and never see the issue with odd growth or abnormal coloring on leaves. Based on my experience with that type of issue, it seems to be more nutrient imbalance (maybe ph), and not mutation.
