so my leaves are lets say not normal? like some are curling up like a taco and some are just messed up. like bent left or right and some of the tips are turning a little brown? like its not a big deal... yet all new growth seems find its still growing really fast. its almost 1month old now just wondering if its a start to a serious problem or if it will just fix it self?:-o:leaf:

You have to post pics to get accurate answers. Is this the same plants you have pics of in the other post? Taco or canoeing up is heat related most times. Allow soil to dry out in between waterings, but when you do water drench them. Tacoing up from what I know is the leaf conserving moisture because it doesn't have much water. If you are watering-spraying your leafs, stop. Make sure you have 50% humidity in there, could be too low. Light too close? What is pH of soil? So many things.

im going to buy my self a ph meter tonight and possibly a thermometer if i have the funds. i am misting it on the regular and yes its the same thing from my past threads, it has plenty of water ive been letting the soil dry out between watering and the humidity may be the issue is to much humidity a problem?

If you are not in flower or late veg it's pretty hard to have too high of a humidity being even 70% is safe for young plants without buds. I've done veg between 30-80% with worse results nearing those limits so anything out of that range is obviously an issue. I would think low humidity in veg is worse then high. If you are allowing a good wet/dry cycle there is no reason to be misting. Foliar feeding can cause issues just as much as it can help with them.
A temp/humidity gauge and a pH meter is a must. Unfortunately, a good pH meter like the Oakton's I use are 50-70 bucks at the cheapest. I've used everything from strips to drops and other meters and until I finally found a decent one I really never knew my real pH. It's a purchase you shouldn't skimp on if possible. temp/humidity monitors are cheap. anywhere from 5-20.
