As far as I read round the net it's phospourus deficiency in early stage...what are you fertilizing with?I'm not sur 100%...
Phosphorus deficiency is usually a bluish or puplish coloring of the leaf, particulary starting at the tips.

from the closeup of one of the leaves it looks like the tips of the leaves are turning brown it could be a potassium problem. I didn't read the whole thread so i don't know if smeone mentioned this yet.

I dont think it's heat stress...my room stays no higher than 78 and no lower than 72....my plants are far enough away from the light. my ph is currently 6.8. I have been thinking maybe it has something to do with my fan...I have a static fan so if I want it to move I have to do it....it sometimes blows fairly directly onto my two bigger girls. anyone think that could be stressin it out...maybe dried the leaves a little and shocked them like that?

potassium (k) problems affect new growth first before moving to the older leaves.
potassium deficiency will also eventually affect the stems causing them to become soft or brittle depending on the stain. Does any of this sound familliar?
Also a plant uses more k during flowering. I see that honkeys stems are red/purple that could be a strain trait or a k deficiency (from wha i read in the grow bible)

i think your light is too close. i have actually seen the rust colored leaves develop after prolonged heat stress. usually leaf edge action like that is also a sign of heat stress.

You know my leaves just started to do the smae thing, and i cant figure out whats causing it...

How big are you plants containers? Maybe your plants are in the early stanges of being root bound, and the canopy is resembling the roots... Just a guess though.

I have 1 out of five doing the same exact thing also, the other four are flourishing and have no visible signs of any probs, all same strain(damn good bagseed) all same height, same soil, same feeding schedule, everything, I flushed the shit out of her last night, i need to give her one more nite to dry up, but i have seen lil improvement in one day, so mayb.

But i was thing mayb the genetics in this one particular plant, may be bad also. There is NO discoloration on any leaves. just the curling and clawing. Also i swith my fan from static to oscilating every other day, but not directly on plants. If anyone figures this out, seems like more than one person watching this thread will benefit from someones results,

Im leaning towards some thipe of bacterial infectcion, and if that is the case there is nothing that you can do, just give them plenty of love and hope that you get some buds. Before you start you next batch make sure you steralize your soil! Put it in the oven on a low temp (200ish) for a couple of hours taht should kill any living things you got growing. (be careful though when doing this, dont leave the house!) And be sure to sipe everything down with some bleech water (one cap per gallon of h2o). Hopefull y it wont be there for the next batch.

I think it has to do with the roots. Like he said, after he put some H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) in the soil along with his nutes he said they started to perk back up. This leads me to believe that the roots are not receiving enough oxygen meaning they're becoming locked. Bigger pot maybe?

have you checked your water? Check the water with a ppm meter. You might have a nitrogen block due to hard water. I'm going through the samething with mine. Good Luck
