the claw can be a sign of nute burn, but in your case i think itmay be a case of lights too close!! when the leaves curl upwards on edges that is also a sign of moisture stress an the plants does it to retain some moisture in the leaves? i find big hps lights need to be at least 14 " away frm tops due to the intensity..... jus some pointers for u 2 consider!! hope it helps

its bout 6 inches from a 150 watt hps
temp is 75-80 in day 70-75 at night
fed once with miracle grow nutes at 1/4 strength, couple weeks ago or so, and again this morning
soil is old miracle grow 3 month shit.. but its like 9 months old, it shouldnt be releasing anything.

if drooping m8 after watering then yes iwould say so... let her dry out for a week, i normally water once every 5 days or when the pot feels v light.. u can gt an aquarium ph test kit for about 4 quid, they r gd enuff, but u must have a gd ph level in ya taps as the foliage looks healthy

Ok.
First the claw is nute overload. Generally its just a warning that it does not need any more nutes because if you do that part will brown and die. As far as the curling of the leaves...when a plant is to close to the lights it will fold up on the edges to conserve moisture. The edges will be very jagged.
Ok a little help from experience. It is your water. You need to get a PH tester. Some fertilizers can drop the PH of your water to 2-3. Guaranteed this is a PH problem.
Get a Hanna PH tester for $30 off ebay, you will never have issues like this again.
