Definitely some issues going on

Agree to all the white spots and bugs.

As to the funky leaves

Whats the ph in the dirt?
Looks way acidic or something

I’m gonna check under the leaves closely later. My autoflowers are growing perfect but my photoperiods are struggling with the leaves curling/tacoing upward. I’m trying to get them out of this funk before they start flowering

I’m really starting to think it’s from the VPD being off or low, it seems like any air blowing on them just makes it worse as well.
 

Go go n chill

whats the genetics? Ive had this happen many times and its always genetics. Alot of blueberry strains have done this. They just take more time to get branches and occasionally they never really create any clone-able branches before bloom.
I know this is an older post but I second the statement about Blueberry strain not branching well after topping. Mine is from Canuck seeds. I pulled 3clones and man they are pretty slow to regroup.

Tons of white spots in that one picture, your infested
Dam so come to find out you were right, I looked under the leaves of one of my blue herons and there’s what I believe to be broad mites on every leaf. Super small and light in color. I can see them walking around, im trying to wipe them off which seems to work but what else can I do? Thanks for any help boss

I use alcohol and water for bugs

Mix 1part alcohol 4 parts water and few drops of dawn dish sopa (no bleachlol)

And spray every night top to bottom especially the bottoms of leaves for 1 week :)

I was cheap and used 90 isopropyl
If you need to get rid of them faster

Use 50/50 alcohol and water with soap

But warning this will fuck a few leafs up but its much better then a death by spider mites and it will recover in a week if in veg


You DEFINITELY want to ERADICATE any mites BEFORE bloom.

You can fix all the problems in the world in veg

In bloom it will wreck your yeild among other things.

One day your looking at tastey buds then your looking at spider webs.and moldy buds lol


Also look into making the environment less tolerable to the mites :)

@Cold$moke way will work fine . I used everclear because it is a food grade type of alcohol ... Cost like 11 bucks at beverage warehouse ... Strong as shit .
I put on a glove , Palm the leaf , bottom side up ( all fans ) , then mist the leaf top.

During lights ON .. The little fuckers go under. So i Do another top leaf spray at lights out , when the little shits are mobile. I also hit the stalk and mist the topsoil.
