Northern Lights Auto, week 8 (deep into flower), AN nutes, FF OF soil amended with perlite.

Plant is very healthy with good color, proper watering, ph in range, temps and humidity ideal.

She has 3 fan leaves on different colas in which one of the leaf blades twisted 90 degrees like a corkscrew. That's only 3 blades twisted, but the plant looks ideal and buds are stacking real good so far. Has anyone seen a leaf blade twist 90 degrees and half of the blade is horizontal and the end is vertical?

This pic is last week, but the blade twisting not seen yet.

Here is a pic of one of the twisted blades. No insect damage

Looks fine to me. Don't think you have anything to worry about at this juncture of the grow.

Thanks for the support, @AutoWonders . I have yet to see a twisted blade like this just appear randomly w/o other symptoms along with it. This one kind of puzzles me, but I figure it may be just a genetics thing since the plant looks ok otherwise.

Often times I get seedlings that become wrinkled/twisted and they always grow out of it. They look worse than your leaf.
 
This has been happening to me on all my plants. I moved the light higher and turned my a/c down some more and theyve been straightening themselves out. Also having some light bleaching on another two plants, i believe that it was heat and/or light stress. Yours really isnt bad though, might not be anything.
 
I'm pretty well dialed in with my lights, AC and RH% which I try to keep adjusted in the sweet spot. I have been using a PAR sensor that shows me the uMol readings, then I adjust my LED light's power driver to give me the uMol I am looking for which then equals the total Mol I am looking for in the DLI.

Seems only a few blades twisted for some reason @db3, and I haven't seen any new blades turning. I may have been feeding/watering too often, so I'm spacing these out an additional day for a better dry pattern so this may be helping. I have to remind myself this NL-A is a tiny girl who doesn't need as much moisture unlike some of the huge ass photo plants I have grown in comparison.
