New Growth is Deformed/Yellow

I'm having trouble diagnosing what the problem is with my plants. This bad new growth started about 2 days ago, 1 day after giving them a relatively strong nutrient tea. Initially I thought the problem could be nutrient burn or nitrogen toxicity, but the leaves are not clawed and the burn is uneven/random. Does anyone have any ideas or know about russet mites?

I don't think nutrients are being blocked out but ph could still be a problem. The plants were fine until they were given the nutrient tea, which makes me think they are toxic. I'm going to test the ph and npk levels tonight to see if there is anything I can correct.

Ok thanks. What do you think I should do? Should I lay off the nutrient tea and just give the plants fresh water until they fully recover?

i think that looks like light burn combined with potassium deficiency, if your ph is high it can lock out potassium, and also make the plant "sensitive" so newer growth can get sunburned easily.

I just did a soil test and checked the ph at verious regions in the soil. Ph seemed good, all between 6 and 7. However, the soil test showed excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus although levels of potash (potassium) seem good. Does this pic of the soil test give anyone any ideas?

if thats the case, i'd do a mild flush, maybe 3 gallons of water, then start giving it about half the nutes you're giving it now, and SLOWLY build up till you start to see any tip burn or dark green new growth, then back off about 10%, and make sure you get a little run through when you water, to avoid this in the future

Its very bad nute burn after you cooked it with your herbal tea shit. I dont think it can recover but flush and hope for the best. Plants are very sensitive to sudden jumps in ppm.

i definitely think it will come back, but now that thats happened to it, it will be very sensitive to nutes now, and you'll have to be
VERY careful not to burn it again
