What's wrong with my new forming leaves?

Man I'm beginning to think its just in the genetics of the plant! I se your temp is at 28? Or is that your RH?
Yeah that's correct it is at 28°C, but that's with the tent open, cause now that's the only way I can keep it at that temperature while the lights are on for a bit.
I don't think it's genetics, cause all the grows on this strain look nothing like this. I'm not gonna lie the new growth is looking a bit better today.

Have you checked for pests? Your plants seem overwatered too, every picture the pots and leafs seem soaked. Avoid spraying the plant, it's not needed. If you are watering/feeding properly the plant will take all the water it needs through the roots.
No pests, definitely don't overwater and in regards to spraying the plant I only do that when the temps get too high once every other day only if needed, it helped with the curls a bit.

You were fine all along, you were on top of it immediately. I agree with possible overfed, and light intensity. Things look great, !

She's also getting really bushy with 6 bud sites showing on top, but 1 is a little lower than the rest. Also there's the twin that's still kinda small due to the light not reaching it well enough along with the bottom 2 bud sites that are above where the cotyledons are that are also relatively small due to the overcrowded fan leaves covering them up. (Not so sure whether to remove the leaves and bottom 2 bud sites or to just let them be)
Oh and also there's 2 new shoots that appeared after my 2 new tops grew after FIMming. (Still small though, but they're there).

Now for a little vertical growth. How much distance is there between bottom growth and top of soil?

My last grow started off like that. Low and bushy, and it turned into a fantastic harvest after I fixed my errors. Your plant is looking healthier, good luck!

So do you think I should just leave it growing as it is and not do any trimming, just maintain the training to expose the bud sites to more light? Also for how much longer would you recommend I keep vegging before flipping to flower?
Here's an example of the size of the plant next to my hand:

Just let them go for a while now. Training is great so far, i definitely wouldn't trim now there isn't any need. How close are your lights. I found that raising mine helped them grow into the light as they were probably a little too close.

I've lifted them from around 15 inches to possibly 25-30 inches, this was maybe 2 days ago.
I'm currently on day 28 after sprouting, using 300w Omega CFL Bulb.

I can confirm that raising the light increased the stretch drastically and today she's looking healthier and taller than she's ever been!

Did some more trimming and I turn my back for 1 minute and the missus took the scissors and went too far on 1 top! Hopefully she didn't fuck it up!
