Could be pH but without knowing the following its hard to say
What type of medium are you in?
Organic soil? Soilless?
What are you feeding?
Water?

Also, a pic without the HID on will get you a more thorough response.

I got my plants in some miracle grow potting mix (I know, I know, I need another potting mix other than miracle grow. It was all i had on hand at the time tho. Planning on going today and picking up some today. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.)
And right now i have 3 plants in the same 5 gallon bucket. I'm planning on transplanting them into their on buckets today.
No fertilizer yet. Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to to pick up supplies today.
I've been watering them every couple days. Waiting till the soil gets dry then watering them till i see runoff. I water them at night. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
I'm growing in a 2'x4 1/2' closet with a 400w HPS.

It doesnt look like anything to wprry about to me. its probably just the soil was too hot for the young plant and as it grows and can take more nutes,and begins to use up whats in there, it will likely recover imo. Your water ph would have to be pretty bad to cause that in good soil in less than a month. Not saying you shouldnt ph your water you absolutely should. How old is the plant?

I am not an expert but I here that miracle grow will cause that cause of the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen maybe they weren't hungry ... But a pic without the yellow light would help . Also Ph levels and believe it or not Not enough perlite will cause a lot of problems... from my experience on my grow......If it was me I would add perlite to new soil

I feel like there is something wrong with 1 of the 3. The leaves texture looks and feels a little funky to me and they are starting to droop a little bit (but then again I am a first time grower so it might be all fine and normal, I don't know, that's why I was hoping someone could help.)

The pics you sent really dont seem like a major concern. except it looks like you might be overwatering. Your likely to cause more problems if you try to fix it without getting a good idea of what it is. only thing I've seen like that was light nutrient burn from nutrients dripping on my leaves during watering but it doesnt seem it could be that

how often do you water? im guessing overwatering on that for sure

also the one on the left in the first pic seems to have some kind of deficiency but i couldnt tell you what

i wanna say magnesium, your ph might be too low or if your sure its good then epsom salts will do the trick

even if your waters ph is good it could be the soil ph

I water my plants every 3-4 days, and i water them till i see runoff. I dont know the PH of my water or soil. Ive been looking for a PH tester but cant find one.

do you stick your finger in a couple inches and check if shes wet? (phrasing lol)

ive had some pots take over 5 days to properly dry out but that was because they were a little oversized for the plant and im in an area that has high humidity

Here are some photos of the plant I'm talking about.
If u add perlite to your soil it reduces the chances of overwatering because water can drain really well .. Trust me the air in soil make a big difference your plant looks like its overwatered and if it's not draining properly it will cause build ups of certain stuff that will lock out other nutrients

Get one online? Dont go cheap though. If you dont wanna buy a good one then use the drops. Theyre more reliable than the cheap meters

Lmfao! "Phrasing!" I love archer, but yea i stick my finger in it at least knuckle deep. I tried putting my plants all in different pots last night and two out of the three took well but one looks like its on its last leg. is there anything i can do about that?

So get some perlite and that should do the trick?
