The discoloration is from a deficiency a few weeks ago, that's fixed. It's sounding like the curling is a combination of low humidity and the plant getting close to done from what I've heard from a number of people, nothing to worry about.

You'll find you only get exactly ONE shot at growing the dank bud. If a plant fucks up you can't unfuck it very much, and if you mess up drying it you won't get the cure to even happen.
Its very frustrating to have a problem early on in the plants life, only to watch it over the next few months NOT producing like it should.
I doubt its from heat but what is your humidity like? I'd guess low maybe, but its probably a nutrient problem--unbalanced, too much or too little uptake of one nutrient, possibly a pH issue.
Your garden is an entire system, if one variable is out of balance the whole system is out of sync.
Yeah they were doing great until I dropped the PPM trying to listen to the people that say "if the PPM goes up over night reduce the PPM", and they just never recovered; I wish I hadn't done that.
I've intentionally lowered my humidity as I've heard doing so in the final weeks pushes trichome production, I lowered it earlier than I should have though. I've been running 35% for over two weeks now.
My PH is good, I keep it between 5.6 and 5.9 and it's almost never outside that range.

I would have recommended to drop the ppms to .maybe your plant is sensitive and having the pH ride the same reading for the whole grow is causing it to get to much or to little of certain nutrentes .maybe trying the low 6 range is an idea if its been riding the mid fives.

Phosphorus deficiency curls down. I can almost guarantee the problem there was Potassium. Your image matches that description to me more than any other even looking @ 13 deficiency possibilities.
Also (P) deficiencies are rarer than the more common (K) deficiency.
But the plants use of (P) increases when it begins to flower, & then (K) increases to aid flower formation.

week 10 update
Nothing really to say this week, I'm out of town and haven't seen my ladies since Wednesday night  here's hoping they're doing okay, I didn't have anyone to check on them for me.
I started their flush before I left town so they're on plane water now. I'll be starting the harvest Wednesday if everything goes according to plan.

Sounds right, I shouldn't run into this problem next time. Lessons learned.

Harvest Update #1
I harvested the first plant last night, it took almost 7 hours! I really need to get faster at this harvesting thing... however since I am slow I'll be updating this post with the harvests as I go, it's going to take me until at least Saturday to finish
Plant #1 (These numbers are the ID I used to track which plant is which, not the order that they are being harvested in)
The leaves and top buds started to turn a beautiful purple last week. It was really nice getting home to see these shades of purple.
Lower buds are all a light green shade, still sexy though.
Holy foxtails Batman
I'm a bit shocked by this, the difference between color and trichome density between the very top of the bud and what's under the first set of sugar leaves is crazy. This bud is the most evident with this since it was a bit lower on the plant where only the very tip could get direct light.
Now let's wrap up with some photos of the trimmed buds. After seeing this I am much more optimistic about my final weight, this is all from the smallest plant, I'm harvesting from smallest to biggest to allow the most productive plants the most time.
Time to go harvest another plant

Harvest Update #2 Day 83
Well it turns out I was mistaken about which plant was the smallest. Plant #4 turned out to be quite a bit smaller than #1, still not a bad harvest though. I'm actually not surprised this one was smaller as she was the runt of the group in veg.
Plant #4
I've noticed the last couple weeks the leaves up top have been staying nearly vertical which seems weird to me, I never did try to figure out if this was a deficiency or anything.
The final harvest from plant #4, I'm guessing it's maybe 2/3 of the weight I got from plant #1.
I won't have time to harvest anything tonight, but hopefully I'll be wrapping up tomorrow night, Sunday at the latest. Stay tuned, the best two plants are yet to come!

Harvest Update #3 Day 85
Plant #2
After pulling this plant out of the room, it became very clear she was the biggest plant in the room by quite a bit. It's buds were as tiny as the other plants, but it had much better node spacing and overall was just a bigger plant.
I really love the colors I ended up with, I wish the purple carried further down the plant though.
One thing I'm surprised by is how much like bamboo weed is. Every stem is totally hollow, wasn't expecting that as I've never seen this in the weed I've bought.
Such frosty sticky buds, can't wait to smoke these. I just wish they had some decent size to them.
Here's the final harvest from plant #2.
Lastly let's take a look at the entire harvest so far. This is plants #1, #2, and #4.
Tonight I'll wrap up by harvesting my favorite plant! It's smaller than I thought it was, but it is the only plant that ever put weight on it's buds. I'm also hoping to have the final dry weight for plant #1 tonight, stay tuned!

I can't wait until I get my garden set back up. I'm thinking about getting a second XML 650 in there when I do.

I'd definitely get a second one if I had the space for it, I'm very impressed with the light so far. Tonight I'll get to see what it can actually do when I trim up the last plant.

Harvest Update #4 Day 86
Plant #3
Wow this one is gorgeous, I was definitely right about it being my favorite! It's nice to see what this strain can actually do when it's not so stressed out. I think this plant may have also been better pruned allowing it to focus more energy on fewer buds.
The colors on this one are really great. I wish the leaves weren't so damaged so i could have dried one out to frame from my first grow.
Here's the final harvest from plant #3. I think this one easily had the most weight out of the group, but I'll find out when everything is weighed up.
I'm so happy to see some properly sized buds. The others plants are so dry that they aren't looking much size as they dry, so if that happens here these are going to be fantastically big dense buds. They're like rocks now, so I have high hopes!
I'll wrap up with some glamour shots / stoner porn.
I'm blown away with how much resin these girls have when zoomed in on, I'm gonna be hiiiiiighhhhh.
Once everything dries out I'll let you know the final weight! Anyone want to take some guesses? I'm thinking a 1/4 pound not it's not what I was hoping for, but I'm pretty impressed with myself for being such a noob. I can't wait till next time, when it's even better!

Final Harvest Update
Well I weighed everything up tonight and I'll say it's not shabby!
Plant #1: 43 grams
Plant #2: 56 grams
Plant #3: 73 grams
Plant #4: 27 grams (the buds looked as disappointing as the weight)
Total yeild: 199 grams | 7.1 oz
Here's some pictures from the weigh in.
Plant #2, 56 grams
Plant #3, 73 grams!
Here's one of my favorite buds, can't wait for it to cure so I can smoke it!
Some macro shots of the above bud, man this thing is frosty.
Here's the final harvest all together, I didn't quite hit the half pound goal I hoped for, but hey 7 ounces for a noob doesn't feel too bad.

Not too bad. The first few times are always a little disappointing, but not at the same time. You'll find that plant you like and figure out how to maximize the yield as you get practice with it. It takes years of running the same plant to really figure it out.
