imho, I believe you may have nute burn. When the ends of the leaves point down like yours do, is a classic symptom of overfeeding. Cut back on the nutes. Another thing, make sure your lights are not too close to the tops of your plants. I have seen growers foliar feed there leaves/plants while the lights are too close.. this will cause leaf burn and distorted, rough krinkly edges.. Kinda like what your leaves are doing.
 
i was kinda thinking that. i have been just using RO water for the past week. not to much change. yet. any other ideas? or would i not see results in a week or a little less maybe?

if your using RO water your going to have to add cal/mag to since the filter removes them during the process...

I believe they will recover... Overall, your plant looks very healthy. Give her some time. Its all good. By any chance, have you been using Superthrive? :weed:

no i dont use superthrive, i only use 100% organic stuff. the BIO-CANNA LINE.

and yes its soil. so i shouldnt add salt? why?

Ya know... Im not familiar with your nutes.. But, too much this and that will screw up the soil, and plants. Too much salt IS bad for your plants.. That i do know. I have never had any problems with my fox farm. I think you might have to much going into that soil.
 
Nute burn and/or also if your spraying your plants dont if you add water to the leaf of your plant with your light on or even close it will burn i dont do it cause of this reason and also water and electricity dont mix to well anyways.

If I were you, I would flush em out 1 more time thoroughly with "regular tap water" Then a week later give them very light vegging nutes, and once again use tap water. That RO water seems to bring on problems with a few of my grower friends in the area.
 
thank you both! you guys are the first two people who have actually sat here and talked with me to figure this out. i really appreciate it! + rep to you both
 
and if your using reg tap water put it out for a couple of days in a CLEAN containter so the chlor. disapates cant stress this enough to people its worse then nute burn
 
i have a 5 gallon water jug that inoramlly fill up with the RO water. that work? or is the top hole to small? caz i have a 5 gallon home dept bucket i have as well.
