Weird leaves

It's a Gelato auto and seems fine other than weird growing leaves. Anyone seen this before??

The leaves eventually straighten out. Just very strange looking to get there.
It is a little worse than usual, just watered to run off yesterday.

At first I thought just genetics?? But I've grown it before and it didn't look like this.

Are you watering by weight or a schedule?
This is my 2nd grow, so neither. BUT!...... I just educated myself on watering...I was just giving them some when the soil was too dry.
I'm sure their soaked right now, but even when much dryer the leaves looked this way. They stretch out and are normal after...the whole plant has grown this way...not a new symptom.

Wow...what a great source..ty!
No strong wind up high...I have a 4" oscillating up high and a couple small fans moving air around low.

Suggest learning to water by weight. Overwatering kills more plants than every disease or deficiency combined.

Every leaf on the plant started out just like the new curled ones.
It's 41 days old today.
No water for a few days and I'll see what happens....thanks for the input.

Some of the curled leaves won't get completely straight again. Don't sweat that. Concentrate on the new growth so that they don't do the same.

Like Omninine says in the post above - the 'problem' is too much nitrogen.

I've experienced something similar with tall plants when all the other flowering plants are average size. This obviously means the taller plant will be closer to the light - so I put it down to an effect of excess light.

I've seen it most in blueberry crosses. It's never stopped the plants flowering and finishing. Possibly flush the plants when the pots dry out, and then give them half the dose of nitrogen you've been giving them. I'm sure they will be fine.

Update.
Thanks for all the comments. I did as hotrodharley suggested and read up on watering by weight and carefully reexamined my watering schedule. Turns out I was underwatering a bit, but biggest problem turned out to be trusting a ph meter waay too much. Run off ph was in the 4's.
So after educating myself on nitrogen uptake, water ph, soil ph, watering methods, and lots of tangents, here we are.
Thanks again for all the comments.20221201_082700[595].jpg

I'd get rid of all of those dead/dying leaves, they will cause mould/bud rot.
