Looks like you are growing in Coco correct? It's hard to overwater coco, what is your watering schedule like anyway? What nutes are you using? Coco can be kind of tricky, I suggest you pop over into the "Coco growers unite" thread started by MasterOfGenetics and ask some questions about pH in coco etc. The pH in coco can be a pain to get into check if you don't know whats going on and why.
I'd say pH related. I get the same slightly twisted look in my plants if the pH is a bit off (I also grow in coco).

well im using RO Water, my PH of the nutrient formula is around 6.6.-7 and the runoff water after i water is usually around 5.7-6.0 Im using floresent lights and upgrading to MH within this week. Nutrient wise im using Cogr a + b and rhizotonic along with cal+mag at about half strength. I water when i think they need water. but usually every other day

Your watering with pH of 6.6 - 7? I think this may be your problem. Your run off is about right though..which is odd.
Pop over into this thread: https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/163510-coco-growers-unite-121.html and hit up Jberry...dude is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to coco.

lower the pH of your nute mix to 5.8 and see if things clear up over the next 3 days or so... Dont worry about the ph of your run-off coming out ... just focus on keeping the nutes going in pH'd between 5.6 - 6.1... (5.8 is usually best).
Whats your humidity and temps doing during the light and dark periods?

Jberry for my nutrient mix i add as follows
Rhizotonic then cal+mag then cogr a + b to my nutrient mix in that order. Do i have to get a PH balance kit because when it all comes out I have the same PH

also, for using the rhizotonic for foliar feedings, what would u recomend for the dosage?
I changed the pH and lowered to about 5.8-6.
I have some more seedlings that just sprouted, when should i start feeding them nutrients? I have Nutrient batches in half strength already for my other seedlings.

Approximately 2 ml/gal on the Rhizotonic for foliar feeds, but can vary up or down based on the sensitivity of the plant to translaminer movement. The hormones and some vitamins will be what is taken up and they work at very low levels. However, if needed you can go up but the high limit will be about half of the normal amount used for root feeding. This is a growers choice. I would not apply it in flower for many reasons as a foliar. You can adjust the pH but gently and make it come in around 7 or a little higher. You only have to be close. After about the second week past flower initiation I would not use it foliar anymore but you should use it from the beginning foliar. Apply about 3 times per week or every other day.
See if the new pH ( 5.8 ) turns things around... Could also be a humidity issue, or just genetics as someone else mentioned.
