New growth is clawing downward

Hey everyone, one of my plant's top growths are clawing downward, also the texture looks/feels a little leathery. I thought it might be overwatering so waited till the pot was dry before watering again and that still didn't solve the problem. Is this some kind of deficiency? I also don't think its nitrogen toxicity. Please let me know your thoughts! Thank you!!IMG_0424.jpgIMG_0425.jpg

We need better pictures, under normal light and a LOT more information. Substrate, feeding etc...... the more information the better the advice.

Op Dosnt think its N toxicity , like above says not enough info , but does look like over fed .
Are you using additives ?
Seaweed ?

Sorry I was at work thanks for your reply. Below is more info and more pics

I know I have nute burn on all 3 of my plants, but there isn't much I can do since the nutes are dry amended into the soil (Dr. Earth, slow release nutes). The nute burn has been manageable so far and the girls have been filling out pretty well.

Strain: Auto Moby Dick and White Widow Dinefam: Day 42
Temp: 76
RH: 50%
Nutes: Dr. Earth (Dry amendments) Veg and Flowergirl
Distance from lights: 18" (I changed to 18" after the 1st pics this morning because I noticed some light bleaching on my other plant (on the right in group shot))
Training: LST
Water: RO water once a day
PH: 6.5-6.8 (before people freak out this is the proper ph using Dr. Earth slow release nutes in coco)
Medium: Coco with 5-10% perlite with mycorrhizal

The main thing I want to focus on is the is the top of the plant clawing downward (middle pant in group shot), I know all 3 plants have nute burn. I don't think this is nitrogen toxicity since the leaves aren't dark green and usually with the toxicity they just curl down at the tips. The problem I am having is the whole leaf is curling downward, they feel leathery, and the color is a little off.

I was thinking the problem might be overwatering but I went 2 days without water and it didn't help the plant and these plants are drinking a lot these days.

Based off of the info you gave which was essentially nothing. You have nute burns, it looks to be too much nitrogen. But again with no info on the grow and blurple light pics I am literally shooting in the dark.
Thank you for your reply! I have posted more info and pics on this thread

This looks like the light was too close. If you have already adjusted it higher than give them time to see if it stops (than blame the light) or getting worse before you make another change or step. Can be just simply too much light causing issues...
