Theres more then 1 thing that can be wrong w/ ur leafs...
Noones gonna help, as much as they want to, because you didnt provide enouph info about your grow...well actually you didnt provide any lol
See where it says (top of page, left side) "Marijuana>>Doctor's Diagnosis"? Click on Doctor's Diagnosis, scroll down to the lists of threads and click the one that says "ATTENTION! FILL THIS OUT BEFORE MAKING NEW THREADS"
Guessing the rest is self explanatory

Soil Growers: 1. Are you growing from seed or clones? 2. How old are your plants? 3. How tall are your plants? 4. What size containers are they planted in? 5. What is your soil mix? 6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? 7. What is the pH of your water? 8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? 9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? 10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") 11. How close are your lights to the plants? 12. What size is your grow space in square feet? 13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? 14. What is the pH of the soil? 15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? 16. How much experience do you have growing?
Pictures??

Curling up? Down? Are the tips curling? Or the sides? Is there any spots/yellowing/white tips? How many watts you using? How many sq ft? How old is she? (they?)
Potting soil is very general. what brand? Does it say "No feeding needed for [ x ] days"?
What is the temperature/rh of your grow space (top of canopy)?
Is there plenty big holes in the pot/s for drainage? What size r the containers?

Well first, I hope you meant 2sq ft? Cause you need 50watts per sq ft. Secondly, you need to transplant asap if your plants are twice as big as the pots.
now sides curl up ( creating a Taco shape ) for 3 reasons if im not mistaken 1. Ph issues 1. Mg defficiency/ lockout 3. Heat
If this is only happening at the top sets of leafs, its too hot. Pick the lights up. Mg deff starts w/ "taco leafs" but in a matter of couple of days the leafs turn yellow except for the veins, which stay green.
So if you have no ph meter, wait and see if leafs lose collor while keeping the lights up (lower temp). If it doesnt go away, its ph. Without a ph meter (10$ at hydro store/online) its almost impossible to sucseed indoors.
Anyway, my opinion is that its too hot. Make sure the temp is 80F or lower at the top of the canopy by adjusting the light.

Nvm about the transplant.
Also, u misunderstood. Those leafs are twisted not curling.
This is deffinetly a ph issue. Either way though, temperature is something u really wanna pay attention to

pH testers for dirt are wildly inaccurate. Your best bet is to get a pH tester for your water and make sure that's in the right range. You also need to get your light closer to your plants. They're stretching a crap load.

Go to "monitoring and test equipment". Its the Ph Drops. And trust me, thats the only kind of meter u can trust (i have an electronic one and I still use em)
Also, you should make some kind of reflector. Theyre so stretchy cause theyre not getting enouph light.

Hawksapprentice I always thought if you measure the runoff ph and average it in w/ the ph of what u watered w/ you get the soil ph. Is this not true?
Like lets say u ph.d ur water to 7, watered and the ph of runoff was 5. Is the soil ph not 6?

I like to test it that way. It's not super accurate but will work. And pH pens do work great IMO. I have a Hannah pH tester and love it. Just need to make sure that you calibrate it regularly.
My nutrient solutions are so murky that the drops dont work for me.

Holy fck thats my problem exactly!! Esp. In flowering (molasses and watnot) I have a hanna pen too! The red one. how do you calibrate yours? Mine is sooo off. Also (im not a dumbass, prommise) I cant find the C°/F° swich >.< The thing I like about it is you get an instant temp reading, but doing the calculations every time is a btch.
