HELP!Deformed and discolored leafs

Hey guys so just started my next small crop of girls (only 3) i got 2 of them in my dr60 grow tent under a 400w HP and feeding them Gen Hyp nuets and both in foxfarm soil.. I have one of them in a 4 gallon potter and the other in a 2 gallon. Their growing at a decent rate as expected but my bigger girl in the 4 gallon does not look 100 percent healthy.. She has yellow spots on the ends of the fan leafs and the tips are curling down and some of the individual fans are growing in random opposite directions of eachother. The plant almost looks tangled.. Just wanted to know if anyone else ever had this problem or what could be causing it and how should i go about resolving this issue.. Thanks in advance for any input..

Some more pics

Sorry about the one random picture didnt realize it til it was to late lol..

Nopee lol not yet.. Their growing pritty good but the one still doesnt look right..

What's wrong with your tapwater that makes buying 5.0 ph bottled water a good idea?
phUp and phDown...? Should only need and use one or the other.

Have you checked the GH online weekly feeding schedule or product information for the nutrients you use? Feeding every 3 days is likely way too much.
GENERAL HYDROPONICS Product Info and schedules - Click on the appropriate product, and likely the weekly feeding schedule is there.

When feeding...follow directions.
When watering, add the properly ph'd water slowly to allow absorption into the medium, instead of pouring it fast and having it immediatelly run out of the pot. You can also add a quart, and as it's settling...gently squeeze opposing sides of the pot back-n-forth. Do this a couple of times. This disrupts the channeling that makes the water flow out of the bottom so easily.
If that doesn't work, you can add 1/2 tsp of non-antibacterial dishsoap to a gallon of water, and add slowly. The soap acts as a surfactant. (lowers the surface tension of the water allowing it to absorb better into the medium) Antibacterial dishsoap will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil, so avoid it like the plague.

The tap water in my town is off the charts with PH and is very very hard.. I use the PH up to adjust and if i go to high i use the down to level it back out.. I been on the same feeding schedule with all 11 of my crops i've grown and never had an issue.. Not knocking your advice WHAT SO EVER i aprreciate any input i just dont think that is whats causing my problem.. But ill try changing it up anyway just to see if it helps.. Thanks man :thumbsup:

Oh one other thing! does adding a little dishsoap actualy work?

Yup. Especially handy when growing heavy sativa's that take forever to finish, and the soil starts getting a little crusty. Don't go overboard. One or two applications when watering should do the trick. I don't use the dishsoap on feeding days. Not sure what it does to nutrients, lol.
