plants look like thin and twisted. If that makes sense.

There also showing small brown spots not many though.

there been growing in soil. Only PH watered feed so far there feeding every 4 to 5 days.

I don't see anything alarming aside from what looks like high N and perhaps pH issues...but all in all, I've certainly seen worse. What are you growing in soil wise?

Sometimes it’s your feeding ... plant is looking a little nitro heavy and some minor tip burn.
But actually looks fine.

It's not very likely you have a micro nutrient deficiency like boron or any of the others, when growing in soil or a pre-amended soilless mix. Possible, but not likely.

As far as issues, you dont really have any. The few burnt tips, or tiny bit of rustinc, and deformation of serrations is likely either slightly too much fertilizer, or a pH imbalance. High temps/light intensity could cause the leaf serrations deformations as well

Thank you for you reply.
The heat seems fine in there. And PH is question mark as I think might PH pen is not working properly it’s a cheap arse one. Do you think I should flush plants. Then give nutrients.

and some one did say it was hemp mites. That kind off scared me we live in the UK.

No need to flush. Regardless of what caused the aberrations on your leaves, it's very minor. Just continue on doing what you've been doing, until you can pin down the problem and fix it.

If your uncertain of your pH pen, get a new one. If you cant afford a good one like bluelab, buy 3 of the cheap ones, so you can cross compare the 3 to get a semi accurate reading (even though at that point, you might as well just buy the good one xD).

Finding a minor problem like burnt leaf tips is normal/expected. Over correcting can turn minor problems, into big ones though, so try not to worry too much... your overall plants health looks great.

BluntMoniker you are a diamond. Thank you for your good advice. No need to flush them.

Me girlfriend is looking at a decent PH pen . The other one is crap cheap and nasty.

I’ll still give them nutrients then.

So you don’t think it is herb mites then.

and thank you so much for your help.
God bless you
