Hi, I've got a problem that I have never had before. All the new leaves at the top of all my plants that I grown outside (they are now about 1 foot high) looks like they have been eaten or have a disease. The new leaves have the tips "eaten" and as these leaves grow (they still manage to grow) they look wilted and deformed (see attached picture).
I had aphids about 2 weeks ago (and not many of them) and the leaves were fine. I am not sure what it is so if anyone has a clue, please help.....
Thanks

The seeds are feminised early skunk from Nirvana seeds. I've had a perfect germination and beginning of growth. My problem only started to appear in the last 2 weeks and is not just happening on 1 plant but all of them.
They are all in 16 inches pots with compost and a little bit of farm manure.

HI guys,
Just gone to have a smoke outside and had another look at my plants and the top leaves are starting to twist. These leaves are not the one affected but nice big leaves. I will take pics tomorrow because it is too dark now but for info if it helps, I have tomato plants next to the skunk and some of the top leaves are twisting too (no "eaten" pattern though).
WEIRD......

HI guys,
For info, I have treated twice with organic insecticide and it did nothing. Changed to a complete insecticide (non organic unfortunately) and slug pellets. This seems to have solved the problem so I guess it was insects coming out during the night and disappearing during the day.
If one of you have the same problem, you now know what to do...
Cheers,
