Hi folks. I’m a newbie here and was wondering if anyone can help identify what is happening here. I have an issue going on with some plants and I cannot figure out what it is. I will start by saying they are in 10 gallon Smart Pots filled with Pro-Mix HP. I’m using Dagda time release fertilizer (used it for many a year outdoors with no problems). Water is dechlorinated tap water pH down to 6.0. I had an aphid problem that I took care of (I’ve dealt with aphids/spider mites/thrips/fungus gnats/powdery mildew in the past so I have some knowledge of certain pests). Plants are not being over/under watered. I’ve gone over the plant using a 40X jewellers loupe and a 1000X microscope and cannot find anything. I think it maybe soil fungus/pathogen??? I’m a novice grower amd would appreciate any feedback from anyone who may have dealt with this in the past. I will state that I did find some caterpillars but I got rid of them when I got rid of the aphids. No signs of any bugs or eggs on the plant. The issue I have (as you can see from the pics) is new growth is twisted/deformed (some looks like it’s eaten) and leaves that appear “eaten” amd eventually moves symmetrically towards the leaf spine. Again, any input would be appreciated! Cheers!
