Cupping help needed

So, I have a cupping problem on my new growth that originally was just on one plant thought it might be fan issues or humidity issues but I moved the fan and raised humidity to around 45% temps between 60-70 (I'm in northern Maine and 60-70 is still costing me about 10-15 a day in fuel so I'm doing what I can), then Me an a couple growers thought maybe mites because I had some weird yellow egg looking thugs on that cupping plant, but now I have some new growth being affected on a few other plants, lights are of so I can't get a pic atm will in a.m but any idea? Now I'm thinking maybe to much ferris? One plant in pert ocular has been doing this since two ferns ago i ferried with 1/4 tsp grow big 1/4 tsp tiger bloom per gallon...so I mean maybe over feet but that doesn't seem like it could possibly be to much..any ideas? They're under 400w only plants that don't seem affected is the largest and the one in largest pot which kind of makes me feel like possible over fert I took some seed from what I thought was a decent grower that he alleged were some Pineapple Express f1s he did himself but there's serious genetic instability and like 4-5 different phenols if he wasn't lying so idk. I've dealt with a lot this grow from gnats, to n toxicity to pm and everything I metered...oh is unknown arm store bought spring water...oh meter broke

Haha nice catch lol it's a healthy color but new growth on developed branches are cupping and then on certain undeveloped sprouts seem to just be dead. They're not dried out enough from last fert to add water only got about 7 gallons of spring water and 9 plants so would thy just add insult to injury? There cupping downward

I'm saying overfeeding. I saw some waxy/shiney leaves. And some tips pointing down like the N-tox claw. They don't look too green like toxicity. But, when I had shiney leaves it was overfeeding (I thought). Could have been too much K or silica (if you use it).

I was going to say Nitrogen Claw

Do you have some mites? Spray the crap out of your leaves tops and bottoms with neem oil/soap/water mixture twice a week maybe? It should help.

Thought that it was mites hadn't specified which kind should have new scope Friday...anyway thought it was mites sprayed it with pyrethrin, all of them actually and it seemed to help quite a bit but now it seems like it might be spreading but its not on all of them...and they are packed..like packed in there so it would not be hard for them to travel, on top of that temps are between 55-70 absolutely no higher because of my northern location and outside temps...and humidity is steady around 45%. Can't rule them out though because as soon as I do another sign points to them or to something else..like the fact they just started flowering on the 9th..amyways on the most affected plant I found like 4 larger looking egg sort of things on top of the plant lodged Inbetween new growth. I was reading from a growers encyclopedia some soil problems might replicate russet mite problems? Any ideas? I'm in unamemded straight pro mix,(added some verm, but that was all I was in a real hurry.

I think it was lack of oxygen at the roots the plants that are affected are all in these makeshift garbage bag pots a buddy swore by so I decided to try them on a couple ad anyway the bag had moved where I poked the drain holes poked about 50 more at the bottom of those plants the soil wasn't excessively wet but I would find it hard to believe it was that big of a coincidence. I poked a bunch of holes and will be checking bag movement more frequently. Still going to check with a scope for other critters but I'm hoping it was an oxygen problem.

So I poked some new holes around 9am and after checking the situation out around 5 I saw substantial decrease in soil wetness obviously not enough time to check new growth since cupping doesn't ted to fix itself just disappear in new growth I won't know for sure for a day or two.
