Seems like over watering. I noticed some red stems at the lower foliage and the sagging of the leafs, plus your soil looks damp or freshly watered. I would check ph if you have the test for it just as a precaution. Otherwise give it about 5-6 days no water and see if they start to look better.

Actually started before i watered while the soil was still dry, think it may be ph problem or some kind of deficiency.

Just water a little less/often.
I do not water till a "run off".
I water a metered amount every day at lights on....You'll have to figure the amounts out for your self.....I might start at 200ml for a 2-3 gallon pot in veg and increase as the plant shows need for more....I increase by 100ml in veg (as needed) and in later bloom that increase will be 200ml as needed. They will require more then.....
2 simple ways you might try are to put your finger in the media up to your first knuckle.
Feel damp = not yet
feel dry = water
The other is to pick up the pot after you water. Feel how "heavy" that feels? Remember that.
When it's dry. It will feel "rather light" in comparison = water it.
Good Luck - They look nice!

So overwatering would cause the leaves to grow twisted and uneven? I even have new leaves that are growing with only 4 blades i find that strange, just want to be sure im not missing something.

I see nothing in your pictures that you need to be worried about - after the watering and feeding problems we covered.
Don't over think....
If it's the same as the pics - it's their new growth. they will fill in and straighten out in their time.
Be patient..OK?
IF, you see a problem get worse. Take a pic and post it. If I don't help, someone else will....
I'll keep my eye's open.

Dr. who is right don't overthink shit they look fine outside of the fact they are definitely being overwatered. you can't teach patience ... just remember you can't make your plant grow and or uptake food any faster than the genetics are designed to uptake.. so watering or feeding constantly does nothing but hider growth.
i always tell people to think about it like your raising your own baby... would you let your baby sit in a soaking wet towel for days on end without drying them? their skin would wrinkle so much it would die off.. you wouldn't do that to a kid, so why are you doing it to a more sensitive plants root system... same with feeding you wouldn't cram shit loads of food and vitamins down your kids throat wit giving them a balanced water to wash it down with here and there so why would you just feed and feed a plant....
just keep that shit in mind cause like Dr. who said don't overthink it .. be patient

trust me we have all been there.. we know.. and ill tell you right ow you just earned points by coming here being honest and saying its your first grow 70% of the people lie and try acting like they've been growing for a lifetime and never have grown shit.. i love honest people and all youll ever get is help that way...
like i said we've all been there.. but ill tell you this now you won't help any by over watering or overfeeding .. so do this feed your chemical regimen on monday... don't soak the soil either give it about 300-400ML with young plants... 600ML mature plants 1000ml older plants.. of your feed mix do that on monday then wait till the media is dry sy about 3 days generally in proper conditions but you should see the soil pulling in on the sides the top few inches should be pretty much bone dry.. then when that occurs feed the same ML amount of pure clean water with ZERO CHEMICALs ... wait three days do it again then resume feed monday.. all you do is repeat that following the feed chart youll be good don't overwater and don't over feed it won't do shit but harm the plant.
