Newbie, thinking over nute happening

Hey guys, The larger plant to the right seems to be drooping tips which I read is overdose on Nitrogen. The thing I am curious is, the smaller plant in the same tote has no curling and looks really healthy, if it was N overdose, wouldn't that plant in theory show more signs as it is smaller? I PH my water daily and usually go up to 6.2 then drop it to 5.7-5.8 then let it slowly rise. Using GH 3 part nutes, my water does stay a bit warmer at 72-73 degrees but haven't really noticed any issues due to that, rez always seems clean on my weekly changes. My concern tho is when I changed this last weekend I did notice a decent amount of roots tangled together between the plants, this concerns me that they might be fighting each other. I am moving towards putting the baskets in their own 5gallon bucket dwc to get away from root tangling also want to get them in 5gal buckets to separate them a bit as the larger one is beginning to shade the smaller one. Still think too high N causing the curl? Or possibly the plants fighting one another? Thanks!IMG_20130926_082407_966.jpg These where seeded on 09/01 so about 26 days old. Just bag seeds I found to test my hand at hydro before I got legitimate clones from a mate.

Sometimes even in soil you can get slight curl on a few leaf tips like this for no reason, as long as this does not turn into the "claw" then I would say, keep an eye on it and if it doesn't progress you should be fine, Otherwise those girls look great for 26 days, cant wait to see mine at that age, They are 5 days into my DWC setup.
