All my new growth is growing in all weird. See photo. And the older growth the leaves are folding like a dollar bill. Its folding on the new growth too but it's all skinny near the base of each finger mainly on the new growth
You've seen this before? How sure are you they are mites and where do I look for themRusset mites to be exact. You’ll need a 40x magnifier or more. Good luck
Yes. I have had an infestation. If it isn’t a pH issues which affects the new growth, then it may be mites. They are so small you can’t see them with your naked eye. I’m not saying that’s your issue because I can’t see your plants, I’m saying that’s what I suspect. Never hurts to look.You've seen this before?

I think this is most likely the case thank you for your input. So.just adding cal- mag wont do it huh? I originally thought it to be a calcium issue with the research I had done myself.so I bought some cak-mag and it just seemed to make it worse so.i stopped that immediately.Twisted new growth like that is usuallly some kind of calcium issue absent other signs of damage. Cal is a tricky one, doesn't like too low ph, also dislikes high humidity because it makes it more difficult to move enough water through the plant for what it needs. If they were mine I would raise my ph to 6.0 and lower humidity to 60% or less while raising temp to 80°
Cal has to brought all the way up the plant from the roots with water every time seeing how its an immobile nutrient. If VPD is in that upper zone the plant is just not moving enough water to get sufficient calcium to the top of the plant. Just my 2 cents, good luck!! ❤❤
Calcium uptake to new growth is entireley dependant on transpiration, since its immobile. It cant take calcium from older leaves and move it to new growth if its deficient. If transpiration is slowed due to high humidity, so is Ca uptake eventually leading to a deficiency in the new growth.I think this is most likely the case thank you for your input.

I'm pretty sure it's not a mite issuePicture of roots would be good. I think @Grownsince95 and @Aquaman called it.
if you look very closely on the back of the leaves you can find little white dots. If you watch long enough you'll see them move.
Neem oil would be a good way of cleaning it. It's natural and the plants will kick back quickly. Just make sure not to do it under the light.
I've had mites before on a different grow. They were spotted spider mites tho. I could see them. Like you say little dots moving around. But I dont see anything like that here.I'm pretty sure it's not a mite issue
How do I take a picture of roots.I'm pretty sure it's not a mite issue
