to cup downward??? They are on my Ice plants, the others are all fine. They are dark green and kind of brittle feeling. I dont have a picture, sorry.

yes i suppose it does look like a claw^^^^
Possibly a number of things:
1. Overwatering
2. Rootball deoxygenation, caused by overwatering, being rootbound.
3. Start of nutrient overdose (possibly N as you have stated they are dark green)

i think its overwatering because ive only gave them nutes a couple times and very small ammounts like a drop per quart and the pots are big enough, 3 gallon, their only 3 weeks old

Im guessing you are in soil? 100% soil? If so then wait till you can shove a finger in the soil upto the knuckle and feel dry to the tipof your finger. Then water.

ya i try that but its always a bit moist so i dont really know for sure, should i wait for it to completely dry out before watering

Allowing the pot to dry out for short periods is good as it makes the roots have to search for water, in doing so they grow and consequently they have a bigger volume and a greater ability to uptake oxygen and nutes.
