Nutes are a three part (i think its what you would call three part) The bloom is all thats been used its 0-4-4, and the blend is 2-0-0. lights on its 77-82. Soil is a mix of MG and local grow shops mix (only started getting nutes 9 days ago). If it helps the plant looks a bit darker shade of green.

Thanks for the help.

You pot looks a little dry also, Are you watering the middle of the pot really slowly so the water absorbs in, i say this cause i see gaps around your pot, nd if you're watering it quickly it will just run off down the sides of your pot without penetrating your root ball.
 
Whatstrain, my problem looks similar to yours. The new growth on top is nasty to put it in a word. Leaves curl down, leathery texture, veins are not healthy, way out of shape. You got any clues yet? I'm looking at a few possibilities, i.e. water's too cold, 57f, room's too cold, and still searching for similar problems. update if you can.

DUDE! My LSD are doing the same exact thing! There are only 2 in a table with 7 S.A.G.E., the sage seem very happy. No cupping whatsoever, and they are growing like beasts! 20" in less than 3 weeks... Maybe its just an LSD trait...? I actually took some of the huge curly fans and with my finger in the center rolled them UP (so instead of cuppin /pointing down they went up) they actually stayed like that and i tried rolling 1 back down which would not work after a few days up... Plants seem healthy otherwise & like I said my S.A.G.E. are doing GREAT. Same table, nutes, lights, humidity, etc...

I have a strain that is really sensitive to nutes and ph...so I have found ways to combat this...which is a sign that there is too much nitrogen...anyway put some sugar in your ph checked water...and then water the plant with it...the carbon in the sugar binds the excess nitrogen for a short time...usually just long enough for the plant to deal with all the nitrogen...and then give nitrogen very very very sparingly when needed...not like tomorrow...in a couple weeks...when the plant looks less dark green all over. Badly curled leaves will not recover, but ones that are only slightly curly may flatten, and the new growth should be alright as it grows.

You only need to flush to get rid of excess Nitrogen if the plant has actually started to burn...but you have just enough to make it curl---so it can be quick fixed with sugar, or really you can just wait and keep watering with plain water and in a few weeks it should be back to normal--once it has used the excess nitrogen.
