I have 4 plants on a 18/6 light cycle most are 4 weeks into veg and 1 is 3rd week i was just wondering why some of the leaves look the way they do not many of the leaves are like this and 2 of the plants don’t have any sign of any of these problems but i was just wondering what was starting to happen

also my humidty is kinda low in the 25% 30% range ive been trying to up it with putting water in different spots in the room but that only slightly raised it
 
Things I see:
1) Nitrogen claw.
2) incipient nute burn.
3) not much growth for 4th week, and that is lanky/stretchy. So you're probably using CFLs, and not enough of them at that.
4) Your floor is a mess. Really now, young man.

What I don't see:
Which nutes are you using? What are your ppm and your pH? What's the quality of your water? What strain is this? From seed or from clone? If from seed, is this the 4th week of actual veg, or from germination?

Nitrogen claw? incipient nute burn? its actually like 4th week since i planted and i am using 65 watt cfls and one of them broke on my 1st week and haven’t really had the money to replace them (no job recently quit) and lol all the stuff is on my floor because i was like freaking out testing the ph and doing whatever i could find to try to fix(the soda bottle is what i use to mix my nutrients into some water so there is less nutrient build up in my drip system but I am kinda messy. My nutes are nutes my friend gave me from stealth hydro grow and micro, i don’t have a ppm tester but my ph is at 6.1 its tap water, and multiple strains the 2 with problems are dna genetics r.k.s and ceres seeds white indica but the other 2 are delicous seeds cotton candy and lemon skunk
 
You do need a TDS tester for a good hydro grow. The nitrogen claw and incipient nute burn suggest to me that you're running a bit rich. Until you get one, I recommend halving your nute concentrations.
AND you need a reliable pH tester/meter with buffer solutions, because you'll need to calibrate it often. I recommend Oakley brand. You really need that, because plants will change pH of the solution as they draw the ions they need while leaving others behind.
What is the identity/brand/make&model of the nutes your friend gave you?
I would definitely bring more light to the party. It seems to me that you're operating on the ragged edge of your budget. Growing good cannabis will require spending for stuff that you find out you needed yesterday. like a TDS meter or an RO system or ... odor control.
I keep typing questions to which an answer is buried in the above post. I very definitely recommend applying punctuation and building short, complete sentences. It makes things much easier to read, which is a valuable courtesy in an online conversation. Just my 2¢. cn

And (shrieking momma voice) clean up your room!! ;)
 
Thanks for your advice, you have me laughing as well as good advice, I was just being lazy from school all week lol I try to avoid making complete sentences where ever I can but I will stop doing this on this website out of courtesy for you which have helped me. As of right now im on a very limited supply of money but I’m working on getting a new job it’s just that I have been kind of busy with school but thank you for your advice on what brand to get.
Every bit of information the nutrients give me is the brand is Stealth Hydro (A five leaf clover company), by make I assume you mean NPK ratio which the bag of this does not state I will look it up as soon as I am done typing this message, and model I would assume you mean what the nutrients are meant for, one of them is grow and the other micro.
I actually am about to try to go to home depot or a local gardening store to get another light because I have scrapped enough money together to get a 105 watt cfl with the spectrum I need.
I am trying to get a TDS meter and would love an RO system but before I get one I’m more worried about a humidifier because it’s more affordable and more of something I absolutly need.
I’m not to worried about odor control I actually am lucky enough to where I don’t have to worry about my parents because I am 18 and they simplely don’t care about me smoking or growing marijuana they just care about everything else lol.
I definitely took all of your adivce into account and I love it, how are my sentences now, thanks for your 2 cents.

Lol as soon as you said my area was dirty I went and cleaned it lol thats why it took me so long to type back before and now because i completely wiped everything down.
Again thanks for the advice but also what exactly is incipient nute burn because I can’t really find anything on it.
 
Well I couldn’t find the NPK value anywhere but I will definitely reduce my nutrient use and realize if these were better nutrients then it would tell me their NPK value but they were free and I would rather have gotten a solution that was to strong then the other way around because now I can just use less.

Lol I’m still laughing at

Since you've been a great sport, I took the liberty of proofreading your post for punctuation, and a few very light spelling/syntax corrections. I invite you to compare, perhaps using printed copies; many of the changes are quite subtle.

As for the substance of your questions:
I was after the brand (which you gave me). "Model" refers to the specific product within the brand. I'll use my grow as an example. Current nutes by make: General Hydroponics. By model: Flora series Grow, Micro and Bloom.

I am laughing about cleaning the room ... and as a parent myself I feel really good about the outcome.

Nute burn is a key symptom of "overfert" or nutrient ion toxicity. usually this is cause by excess nitrogen. Some excess leads to fleshy curly leaves, with that downward taco-shell curve known as Nitrogen Claw. (Toy Story aliens, all pointing up!) Much excess leads to patchy crispy leaf death, usually from the tips in. this is classic, severe nute burn, and you can see many examples each day when perusing the Marijuana Plant Problems subforum. cn
