Strange growth on lower flowers while tops look proper?

I have this weird lower growth happening on my flower, but aside from that the plants seem healthy and the tops look great. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. I just started week three.

I was thinking pulling these weird growth sites off because I didn’t think there would be a recovery but I wasn’t sure yet.

Thanks

Looks like youve got a bug problem of some sort. In your 3rd pic, zoom into the top left leaf by your hand. Can you see those little white dots? Somethings sucking on the underside of your leaves. Id suspect a mite of some sort. Whitefly also leaves the same markings..... turn your leaves over and inspect very closely for something that resembles a speckle of pepper....?

Ive heard russet mites make the leaves twist and curl. Do you notice any slight leaf deformities james? Could use a neem oil spray to keep them at bay for now if not too far into flower...? Its relatively safe. Just spray on underside of leaves. Not sure if their like spider mites? But those bastards become immune if you use one spray for too long, so you have to alternate between 3 or 4 different pesticides.....

Forbid 4F is the way to go here. For an active infestation use 1.2 mL/gal thats max and sometimes plants will get a little funky looking with some mutated looking leaves but that won't persist. Just let them grow out of it. for a preventative application one should use 1.0 mL/gal.

And mix it with 60ml/gal of Azamax. The result will kill the infestation in one application if you're thorough!

Do NOT use either of these past week 1 or 2 of bloom.

Lots of samples in legal recreational states have turned up pesticides and fungicides. Apparently they don’t analyze for these on state required analysis. Another very good reason to grow your own.
