Wrinkly new growth

Hello I woke up to this crappy wrinkly incomplete-looking new growth. And overall the plant looks droopy. Hempy bucket. PH is fine. She may have been exposed to cold temperatures last night. Apart from that what is the general cause of wrinkly new growth and droopy-looking plant?

EDIT: I also have two young seedlings under the same conditions and they've been unaffected by the cold. Just a little extra info

what about rh and temp?

I haven't got any kind of meter to measure RH and temp. But it's under a Metal Halide lamp with a fan blowing above the canopy and my hand test is ok as far as temps go. I keep a little pot of water which evaporates for humidity so I think I'm ok there as well. However cold air does hold less humidity so I guess I'll have to figure out a way to heat it during the dark period and maybe spray a little water over it. Humidity issues have occurred to me but only after I posted here lel. Thanks for the reply man

look fine to me. i see droopy leaves sometimes from the light being too strong too close which is possible with an hid.they droop and slightly curl in at the edges. if you have a smartphone you can download a humidity app. and check it.

Hey thanks man. I'm gonna look into that app. And I see from your sig there's also a light meter for phones. This seems to be the case for me because I try to keep the lamp as close as possible, however it's only a 150W metal halide lamp. Should I back off with the lighting? Also I'm gonna take better pics and upload them in a minute

idk they look fine and i was just commenting on a previous observation i've had. even a 150w hid can roast a juvenille plant but your plant isn't that young and big leafs look fine. yeah i guess i would raise the lamp a bit and keep working on wrinkled leaf issue. that one i can't help with never seen it at the tips like that.only thing i could think of is nute feed is too weak. don't change anything until you get more informed input because the plant looks healthy overall. could also be a genetic thing.

hehehe :lol: just messin with ya grapefruit. theres no such thing. Im with mud, looks like natural B.S. that the plant has decided to spit out. Sometimes leaf abnormalities just appear, or triple leaves, or leaves with no ridges that look like basil leaves. It should start growing out of it, if it doesn't, keep an eye out for curling and twisting leaves as a sign of broad mites. they've been known to do strange things to new growth but i doubt its that because they usually cause thin leaves and yours are fat and juicy. i stand by my first entry, they're fine.

Thank you very much for the input. I wouldn't pin it on genetics just yet but I will keep observing and experimenting. I'm using GH nutes and following the basic feeding chart.
