thanks but there is no roundup in my direct neighborhood, i checked the roots on one of them and noticed nothing particular. for sure i think of a fungus / bacteria or even a virus maybe...

Looks like broccoli!
Looks like broccoli!
At first i thought this was stress from using Azamax and Capt Jack's Dead Bug spray, but now im wondering. It seems to move from plant to plant, and goes away afyer about a week. This particular plant has been affected for almost 2 weeks now. Does anyone know what is causing these twisted tops? What are my remedy options?

Never seen anything like this. When did you spray? Was it hot? If the twisting moves from plant to plant I 'd say the issue was environmental. Have you looked into what is Azamax? What's in it? And what's in Captn Jacks?

Azamax: Azadirachtin A&B
Cap'n Jack's: Spinosad
I alternate sprays and spray once every 2 weeks. Always spray at sundown so there are no direct sun rays beeming on the plants, however temps are often still 80+ degrees. The last spray before the picture was taken was 1 week.

I guess you must need to spray this stuff or you wouldn't be doing it. All I can suggest is changing your times to spray in the morning when it's cooler. 80+ shouldn't be too hot. But not sure the spray is the problem anyway ... I give up!

Spraying in the morning is just not possible in my situation. I am at work at 5am and dont get home until 3.
I was mostly afraid it is cause by mites. I have never had to deal with them, but I know some of my neighbors have had issues in the past. The other plants that had similar twistiness no longer show the same signs. Perhaps it could just be some genetic mutation.
If it were your plant, would you just cut the effected tops off, or let them go and see what happens?

I would let them live on. Hopeful, I guess ... maybe they'll come good. If Nature decides the tops must die, you won't be in any worse position than if you'd topped them. Let it be, as Lennon said.
Perhaps though you could dilute yr spray by half and spray them twice, a couple of days apart?

Another grower i know in person, swears it is broad mites. Even though i dont have the wet/waxy looking leaves, i have been afraid of this. He recommends i use castile soap with any essential oil as a foliar spray to get rid of the issue. I have some on order. Will report results once i see some.
The plants were transplanted into new containers 2 weeks ago. The leaves are dark green with claws from 10 days. I can't see the mites.

Im growing in sphagnum non fertilized and Moler (normally used as cat litter), watering with tapwater. i had a break for 7 years and and I used to grow in moler only and it was working just fine, would my sphagnum be the problem ?
This is my third try and they all behaved like this, and I cant figure out whats causing the plants to act like this. Im using the same water as before only thing changed is the sphagnum.

one seedling out of 6 not behaving
one seedling out of 6 not behaving
I have a tray of 6 young plants, all are fine, all getting the same nutes, except this one is not happy.
Its not as neon green in real life, but you an see the fan leaves are clawing a bit, there's some browning damage on the edges of the leaves.
Perhaps this one is sensitive to nutes? needs more cal/mag?

Sphagnum is quiet acidic on its own. Don't know moler but with sphagnum u need something like rockdust to adjust the ph of the mix back.
Any advice?
Plant is growing in soil(mix of coco, peat moss and perlite), Ph is between 6.4 and 6.8(using test strips), using a blumat, but it’s been going crazy lately. I recently bumped up the calmag a bit as she was showing signs of deficiency. Lights are 5 9w SILs,(2x27000k, 2x3000k and 1x5000k) and the lights are currently 9 inches away from the plant.
The only recent change(besides the bump in calmag) is she was LSTed and trimmed yesterday.
I am at a loss.
