New growth issues

So I currently have seven plants going outdoors and five of them are having the same issue four are the same strain and clones. This is my second year going organic no till. At first I thought it was heat/sun stress but the fan leaves are not tacoing on any of the plants really. Then I moved onto bugs because I def have some leaf hoppers and different kinds of flies. So I released ladybugs, trico. Wasps (six cards in three weeks,) nematodes recently and a praying mantis as well. For the most part, the plants are still growing and look fairly healthy minus parts where leaves have been munched and the new growth that is coming in twisted and curling inwards. This is only my third grow and I’ve never seen anything like this. Could it be a virus/disease? Could it be insects eating away at cell walls causing a deficiency? Please help

I think the root zone is getting a little warm on your plants, but I think they will be fine. How warm is it where you are?

I live in the northeast and It’s been fairly warm where I’m at, but not like years past. We’ve def had some hot days but I’m doing the same thing I did last year (placing my pots in the same area,) and I hd no issues like this last year. I do a 12 clover seed cover crop and a mulch layer on all my pots just like last year. After more research I am wondering if russet mites could be a possibility? I was debating buying buy some sulfur and doing a foliage spray. Still over a month and a half of veg left so, it should be ok I’m thinking

What about just moving them to a more shady area for a bit? Or putting some shade cloth over them?

You can check for mites with a microscope. The root area is what needs shading, some people just wrap white cloth around their pots. Different strains react differently to the environment, even different phenos of the same strain can have different reactions. I don't see any major causes for concern in those pictures.

Month and a half of veg left? Mine started flowering about 4 days ago. I’m in southwest mo.

Ok maybe not a month and a half, but pre flower for me up here usually isn’t until mid august. Full flower around September. I didn’t transplant mine until the first week of June and they were all baby clones.

Interesting… even with my cover crop and mulch layer keeping everything moist? I would think that would kind of keep it cool? But this is only my third grow so who am I….I am starting to think it’s just the strain because my mandarin cookies and blue walker aren’t doing what my ghosts are doing. Thanks for the input pal, appreciate it
