For about 2 days now ive noticed that the edges of my leaves have been curling and it hasnt seem to have grown either. It just put in fresh nutrients yesterday but havent seen any changes. It has been getting colder here as well especially at night. let me know what you think.

It looks like your plants are in doors. Why would it matter what the weather is like outside. Am I confused here? What are the conditions this plant is under? Soil/Hydro, Temps Humiodity, Amount and types of nutrients. The more info and the more accurate the better. And if you think you KNOW something to be in the correct range, then give that info first.

Well because its getting cold outside means its getting colder inside as well. Im running a bubbleponics system with 10ml Grow + 5ml Micro + 5ml Bloom with a 150watt sun system light. the temp is about mid 70s and its not humid

Do you read your humidity off a hygrometer? What's the percentage reading?
Your temps are fine. How far away is the light?
Your plants look healthy, so I wouldn't worry too much.

don't really have money or space for that. But i did make 2 of those co2 makers yesterday i guess its supposed to help humidity and put co2 into the air. Are you thinking its to dry?

I dont have one but the light is about 2 feet away from them. would misting them be a good idea?

Sure, give 'em a light foliar spray with your favorite additive. Make sure it's a real fine atomizing kind of sprayer. You don't want to drench your leaves. Micro-fine spray that the leaves can absorb quickly. But always be gentle.

Your light is at a safe distance so it's not heat stress.

How long since you started seeing this clawing?

Edit:
Sorry two days. So anything different at all about your methods or environment that could have changed something in the last two days? All the earlier growth not clawed?

Not that i could think of it was just one day i checked on them an thats how they looked. The lower leaves are fine its just seems to be the top 2 sets and the newer ones coming seem to be doing the same thing as well

Don't panic. Just observe for another day or two. If growth continues, then you're okay. But if they really have stopped or growth has slowed drastically, then start worrying. But it's better not to do anything rash until you have more data.
 
I think you have too much nitrogen, and u are in a begining phase of nute burn, i would run a low dose of micro nutes only, no nitrogen. once ur plant starts using the nitrogen reserves start adding nitrogen back in the mix, i say this cause based on what i can see from the pics ur leaves look really green and soft and if there starting to curl, good possibilty its nute burn. good luck man

Ok so your saying to only put the micro formula in the water nothing els?
 
also if u are using a 150 watt, since its a lower lumen light source, there is less energy for photosynthesis, which means it will use the nutes u give her slower, which is a probably why she is being over feed i would think of scaling down your whole nute regime once thing are back to normal.

this started to to happen right on the 7th day of not changing nutrients so i was thinking it was lacking some nutrients. so yesterday i changed everything out. And the bloom formula doesn't have nitrogen in it.

i was wanting to start blooming here to so could i just switch the nutrients to that mix? Because that has less grow formula in it and more bloom and micro

Yes, but I would cut out nitrogen, remember though im just going off what I see in the pics there could be other factors involved

ok im thinking you might be right though because it looks like the tips might be turning yellow on the one plant
