Top leaves curling in suddenly

So within the last two days my relatively healthy and definitely healthy plants have started to turn for the worse I believe. Some are in promixHP others in some local soil from landscape place that isnt so great. I don't pump them with much of anything. Fish fert once or twice a week. Kelp dressing every few weeks.

Some of them were in a greenhouse in 35 Celsius without shading and almost literally burnt to death but others that took the heat or were outside suddenly arent doing so hot. Particularly the 4-5 fems I've already identified. We are having a pretty hot summer and sometimes daytime temps fluctuate from 10+ degrees C drastically.

I have a bad feeling I just overwatered them then they cooked themselves, that or root aphids or some issue like that.

Anyone have any ideas?

The first three pictures in my intial post are of a 7 gallon smartpot type pot that i just had jammed 4 plants into out of haste/lack of space bad timing and many issues but they were doing fine until the other day. I have another similar 4 together that are doing fine though I just ripped a male today.

The pictures in this post are of my more important and healthy Id'd females. First two are in 5 gallon buckets with lots of holes in the bottom and a few around the side with landscape fabric covering.

The last two pictures are of my probably 2nd healthiest plant (behind some lemon haze bagseed that is taking off but wont sex) and it is starting to show the topss wilting/curling in or whatever is happening. Rootbound possibly also? Not sure if I want to transplant them while starting to flower.

Cool thanks. Was just looking for some other opinions. PH should be fine as I wont be giving them anything for the next few days as I let them dry out. Weather is going to be more mild in the mid 20s before kicks back into the 30c+ weather.

enough holes at bottom of pots?

The 5 gallon canadian tire buckets have 8 finger sized holes in the bottom and 5-6 on the side covered with fabric from the inside. The recycled nursery pots just have the edge type holes with none on the bottom

Russet mites. High heat kicks russets into high gear.

Naw there's no sign of mites anywhere on or under the leaves. I dug all of them up today to re-pot they were just drowning in a thick wet sponge of peat / muddy slop soil.

I'm such a dumb **** and a worse pest to my garden than any mite, aphid or disease. So frustrating, I've spent so much time and a decent amount of money (soil, fans when i was using greenhouse, pots, food/amendments etc. etc.) and I have like 1 good plant out of about 20-30. Hopefully some recover...

It looks like it is a low PH to me. My next thought would be russet mites, if it's not a low PH issue.

you mentioned peat as your potting material. did you use straight peat or did you mix other stuff into your peat potting mix?
