I have the same problem.I have 6 girls in an aero system.Some of the leave tips are turning downwards but, none are pointing upwards(Thats a sign of 2 much nutes.I think)and no yellow tips or edges either.when u find out the reasons,pass it on to me

what are your guysl temps/humidity at?

If the temp is too high or the humidity too low, plants may do this as a defense to moisture loss through evaporation from the leaves.

How do the roots look on the plant in question, in case its not temp or humidity?

R ur plants Budding? It is normal for the fan leaves to turn downwards in the budding stage, it is a sign that the bud is absorbing all the Phophorous from the leaves. If that is the only sympton, then nothing to worry about, its 100% normal..
-Hope this helps :-)

no,its in its second week of vegetative growth. my roots look better than ever. if there was too much mutrients, then it would happen to both of my plants, im not gonna do anything for now, cause i have a strong beleif that plants were evolved/created to work out these kinds of problems without humans. curling leaves is good i guess, it means the plant is properly reacting to stimuli, next time ill lay off the nutes a lil and see if that helps.

Thanks Ninja, that makes me feel better. I've been searching for hours trying to figure this out. I'm in the budding stage and noticed the top leaves (which are the closest to the highest budding density for me) are doing this, but the rest of the plant looks perfectly healthy. Do you typically notice this more towards the top of the plant?

It sounds like you're doing hydro, right? If so, that shoots this theory right out of the water. Growing hydroponically is a completely alien, artificial environment for plants. They evolved to work out their own problems in a soil medium, not a hydro medium. They're totally unequipped to sort things out on their own in a hydro grow. They need your help.
