New leaves twirling open, has anyone else seen this before?

How long has this been happening?
I've seen this once on a mutant I had a few years back, but all of her leaves had something weird about them.
I still don't know what caused it, but the bud was good.

The only time I saw that before there was a pest in there doing in.Have new leaves opening up like this. Has anyone else seen this?
Cut the whole leaf off and burn it.

Hadn't thought of that. Maybe there is an insect in there who has twirled all the leaves around to make some sort of egg nest. Have to slowly unravel it all and check it out.
Looks like it is the entire growing tip that is swirled around. Would have to cut it all off to just above the previous node. Something like an amputation.
I've seen spiders make nests similar to that, but you can usually see the webbing.

Thanks. I will maybe try cutting off the ones I see and hope for the best.
After you do that, I would try unrolling them and take a really close look to see if there are any insects in there. If there are you might want to find a treatment plan now just in case there are any more.

Thank you I will check them out with a loop.
you're cactus barrel is freaking awesome as is your plant !!!
Being in the Napa Valley, many around here use 1/2 wine barrels. They grow big plants!
They could be very small. Or, they did what nature told them to and left.
Somewhere I have a photo of a spider which would roll up one finger on a leaf, kinda like a canoe, by wrapping a web around and around and finish off while it was inside. I figure it would do this over two nights since I never saw it working on this project during the day. Then several days later it would make an opening at one or both ends and leave.
I figure it was laying eggs. Never saw any holes in the leaf and after a week or two the leaf would be slowing returning to normal. Spiders rarely eat vegetation and since their main diet is other insects I leave them alone.
you‘ve got a great support team started here….. prolly should buy a lottery ticket!!

Hi @Ainchains and welcome to the forum!
This kind of leaf curl is usually caused by a change in lighting. If a plant is flipped (veg to flower), and then put back in veg, you'll see these kind of curls. I've seen it in my plants. Not an insect.

These are growing outside. Could stress possibly cause it. The weather had been very hot in the 100's then went to three or four days in the 80's then climbed back up gradually to the 100's. I looked closely and didn't find any pest and I'm not seeing the leaves doing this now.

I wasn't wildly speculating when I said this... this is a verified, real thing.
From Rosenthal's Marijuana Growers Handbook, 2010, p. 338:
(photo of exactly what you saw, and what was in my photo... curled leaf.)
"This plant signals its crossover back to vegetative by growing a swirled leaf. This trait was first noticed by the famous breeder Soma."
On p. 337:
RE: plants starting to re-grow vegetatively
"This can also happen under natural light conditions when flowering was induced early in tunnels or a greenhouse [i.e. light dep]. Spring crop plants often revert back to vegetative growth under the long days of June and early July. ... As the nights get longer, the plants revert back to flowering..."
@Ainchains, when did you start the plant? Has it always been outdoors?
