https://imgur.com/gallery/kp5T8ha Heyguys, I’ve come across an issue I’ve never had before. As always I’ve checked my ph and is in good range, 3rd time growing these 2 strains with general good success however I’m having a very hard time with one plant in particular and now my other plant is starting to show the same signs. Going through the forms I think I may have broad mites but I’ve never had them before so If a more experienced grower could tell me if that’s the issue. Leaves are shiny almost oily with twisted new growth and very light lime coloured small growth on one side of the vane. Please let me know what you think before these die on me!

Can we get a few more details please? Light, grow medium, nutrients (if any), pH level, temperature, humidity, and anything else that may be environment related that you think might help. First thing I was going to say was pH level fluctuations, but then I re-read it and you said it's good. I'm not as experienced as some, but I try to give help when I can. Either way, the more details you can give, the better help you're going to get. We'll get you growing normally again, or close at least. Welcome to the forum.
Hey thanks for the reply. It’s in soil, pro mix mycorrhizae bx. The light is aglex 1200w led. Nutes are the green planet medi one system, they only received their first feeding last Thursday and the problem had begun when they reached about week 2. Ph of soil is around 6.5. Nutes were phd to 6.3. Temp is 25 during the 18 on and 21 during the six off. Humidity is 55 rh. They are all potted in 10 gallon smart pots. I have read that new tents can cause certain bug problems or issues? I purchased this tent just before the grow. Has a co2 365 bag in the tent. Ventilation is always on low just for for air and circulation. I can’t think of anything other than a pest problem. Plant has seemed to stunt, doesn’t take up water the same as the other plant that’s much larger dispute being a week older. Whatever thoughts you have please let me know. Also thank you I’m glad to be here and appreciate any help🙂

Looking again, your soil looks pretty dry. Does she seem to grow when you water? Some strains are water hogs. At this point I'd probably be watering most of the pot and giving 3-4 days between. I like to go by the weight of the pot so there's less guessing. Underwatering can stunt growth and cause weird growth. Everything else looks ok to me unless I'm just really high and missing something 😂 pH might be a hair low, but I'll let someone else with more experience handle that answer.
Lol it’s still wet about maybe 1/4†under the surface and has stayed that wet since last Thursday. Doesn’t seem to be using any water. However the other plant has been watered twice since last Thursday cause it’s been drying the dirt about 2†under the dirt every 2 days so I didn’t want to over water the one if it’s not using it up lol

Go by the weight of the pot then, it's a good possibility that you are over watering then. Feel the weight now while they have water and don't water again until they feel pretty light. You want to be sure to get air to the roots too, so you want the pot to dry almost completely in between. More than likely that will help them recover. If they start drooping after they dry up, they got a little too dry but they'll be fine once you water again.
