I read, watering with RO water or distilled can also do this, because tap water, or balanced nutrient solution usually contains all the micros and boron you need, so, are you watering by any chance with RO or distilled allll the time?

Honestly looks like heat stress. Got to watch it when it gets to hot.

You know what I think you're right. It is heat stress. I was wrong about a micronutrient or pH issue. I didn't notice that leaf edge curl just saw the whole picture the twisting of the leaves, didn't look close enough. My bad. I'll admit when I'm wrong. I was wrong.

The problem with calcium is that it is passively dragged up the plant with water.
If your plants are not transpiring enough, it doesn't get where it needs to go. Follow the chelating advice, it makes calcium uptake work as much as 1000 times better.
I noticed your pots are too small for your plants too. The root ball is generally about as wide as the canopy.
In that little pot, it is going to choke itself. Start later in the season if you want to use small pots.

Nice bushy mini-monsters grow bro! Glad to hear they're doing better!

May I suggest you remove any lower leaves close to the ground, splashing, bugs, fungus etc. down there no good for leaves to touch ground, plus little better air through and up the plan iMO. Not sure if you have already did this sry can't tell maybe you did this already just what I think I see in pic maybe so telling you..

Dude your plants have really shown how resilient marijuana is.110 degrees that's incredible they still look strong and green in my inexpert opion. I recently quit growing in my garage bc temps in my tent crept to the 90s on about a mid 80s day. Got mine outside now. Cheers man I'm interested to see how you make out. By the way in the future collect some rain water with some buckets or ideally a rain barrel and use that. It will be dechlorinated, decent ph. We soil growers don't need to worry about ph as much from what I've read

Broad or Russet mites:
"Edges turn up as if the plant is suffering from heat stress, but with broad or russet mites the leaves take on a glossy, almost plastic-like appearance. Eventually affected leaves turn yellow or bronze and die."

Is this what is happening, the leaves look shiny glossy and eventually yellow, bronze and death?

I'm also in central ca. and the Double Dream I have starts to do that exact same twisted wilting leaf thing everyday and everytime watering it some more fixes her right up. Its in a much sunnier spot than my other plants and I end up giving it almost twice as much water everyday but that was the solution for me.

I'm sure it'll start doing it again when it heats up today. I'll try and get some pics so you can see how similar it is to what you've got
