I have four plants a month into flowering. One of them, a pineapple express has some of its leaves curling and turning yellow but only on one side. It doesn't seem to be a pattern of which side of the leaf is doing this but the rest of the leaf and the buds still look perfect. The leaves are also laying flat and not curling up or down, just to a side. Any ideas? I am a new grower but I cannot find an example of this anywhere I look.
I have never seen this happen...

looks like this dudes post https://www.rollitup.org/t/tmv-outbreak-need-advice.824450/
I found an article here http://pogenetics.com/PO_testing/?page_id=389 that has a good pic. Now that this seems to be the problem... suggestions on killing the little buggers? too small to see and I don't want them on my other plants.

I like pyrethrum bombs but would have to check the label for broad mite use. Can't remember if it lists them. Don't think i would do it in my home, just greenhouse.
I've heard hot shot strips knock em out in short order but because of questionable health safety they would be my last resort.
I'd be researching miticides to use and start with the most organic options.

um idk man i personally would spray them down with a good strong chemical like avid and/or Deltamethrin or Bifenthrin then i would spray everything else with neem oil and from then on i would spray everything in veg every 7 or so days with neem oil
i got huge deal on some
$2.99 so i bought them all and havent seen it with the organic sticker since

If it's just the one plant I can't see it being a bug problem especially in a tent. But I never had a pest problem before. Good luck.

hmm, maybe i'm the only one, but I've seen plants do that before, and they grew just fine, like a genetic anomaly, if there aren't any signs of pinpricks or bugs anywhere, maybe i'm just oldschool, but I wouldn't do anything. Maybe just give them normal water for the next ten days. Sometimes the best course of action is nothing at all.
I'm not there, so I can't tell you for sure, but if it were me, i'd just keep an eye on em.

it's kinda off-topic, but I grew a plant from seed once, and had it outside and it's second set of leaves were half eaten by a snail, and that plant grew all it's sunleaves from then on, with the "remembered" damage, I should have taken pics, because I doubt anyone will believe me, but I cloned that mother for two years, and every clone had the same damage on the sunleaves, just the middle finger leaf had half of it gone, I was reminded by it because the picture resembles that damage a tiny bit, only picture the yellowing parts just not there.
that plant was a killer strain, from santa cruz bagseed

This plant was from seed and my cat loved to nibble on it... could possibly be the problem. The only reason i hesitate is that this is the only plant of four that has the issue... who knows.... if it gets worse or transfers i think i will try something but i went ahead and got some stuff ordered just in case.

nibble on it huh?
well i'd say that's what it is then, looks like a response to physical damage, if you think of the plant being built cell by cell, if one side gets stunted, it'll look offset, like having a bad alignment on your car. I would just monitor, but not treat it.

I say its just a genetic quirk and most likely nothing to worry about. But would keep monitoring the other plants for signs its spreading just in case.
