All my clones come out awesome i just took the biggest ones where should my ph be i been reading a lot and i thought that was on point
 
don't look like ph problem to me,with my clones I run in the 5.8 to 6.2 try to stay around 5.8. looks like heat to me. I stay around 76 F and it looks as if your well over that by the way the sides of the leafs are turning up.
 
I agree with fssalaska, your ph is way too high, you must maintain 5.8, you could also maybe drop your ppm's to 500 or less to start, 'til they're fully grown.
 
Before I start let me clarify Ive been doing hydro for only one year so still learning lots! I run my PH at 5.8 wavering + or - .1 as soon as it starts to progressively drop i know its time for a res change. My temps this time if year are hard to control and its up and down like a yoyo lol. Last week was real warm here and room got to 30c, res got to 28c. I thought slime was coming for sure, it didn't lol. The plants actually thrived but the res is now down to 21-22 😊. My plants get curly edges and tips if PH gets too high but mostly tips. Also i run a around 400 tds with a base of 150 for my seedlings. This run is 14 days old and the kush is starting their 4th set of nodes (some of them) so i keep it fairly low i think lol. I have had real good success by not trying to force things nutes wise, good luck!!!
 
Lol thanks waterdog just got everything right from ph good and my ppm down to.450 and temp in my room is 77 degrees i will def. Ask more questions if this doesnt help
 
Just adding a little agreement to lowering the PH and dropping your PPMs a bit. I've never worked with clones, but I understand they can be sensitive. A 700 PPM would be just right for about 7 weeks from seed and the expanded root system that comes with that. For light-rooted clones, that's probably too much.
 
Thanks for all the advice my fellow stoners everything looking good def. Turning around for the better ph is 5.8 ppm 600 temp is 74 and everything is happy
