Leaves twist, then turn brown or die. >> The lights are too close to the young plant, is the cause most of the time.

well now that i got a little back ground on your girl, not much info but i know the soil is good... what you should do since you cant check your water is start watering with store bought distilled water the ph is set at 6-6.5 and a ppm of 0 you cant go wrong with that in soil... after she gets stronger then you should be able to start using tap water again... also i asked on limes thread but do you have a water softener??

well skip the distilled water if you have an ro system that cleans the water just fine and removes clorine... so now all you have to do is worry bout the ph!
what i heard works good is a teaspoon of squezzed lemon to 1 gallon of water... try that??
and also the tipp you got bout the light could also be an issue?? i dont know how close they were b4 but i guess with a young plant that hasnt established a good rood mass to much light could cause problems...

The key to getting rid of chlorine in tap water is to put it in a pail or bowel so it has a large surface area, a 5 gal pail will off gas chlorine in less than 2 hours. If you go to a pool or spa place (home depot) you can get pH test kits for a few $ or even test strips, way better than nothing. pH would also be a big cause for twisting and not from lack of food but lock up due to element imbalance, I ruled this out when you said you flushed.
