sounds like fert burn to me....but no pic. try flushing them with twice as much water as dirt...lets say you have 2 gallon pots, flush with 4 gallons of water, also mix a light dose of ferts and put 10 caps of 3%h2o2 to 1 gallon of water so theres oxigen to the roots this should help

curling leaves.. yikes... I would use distilled water...ph 7, ppm ZERO.....
good luck : )

if they're burned from over-fertilizing the last thing ya want to do is add more ferts...even if after flushing thoroughly. ferts are also stored in the tissues and roots and flushing will not affect what has been absorbed. instead of adding more ferts, give them a hefty dose of super-thrive. just hormones and plant vitamins in it, no ferts and it's excellent for shock and recovering plants. add more ferts ONLY after the plants have recovered and 'asking' for more...my experience tells me they won't need any more at this late stage. if they were in veg you'd want to add more but still only after they have fully recovered.

hey if its in the 3 week you should just flush with clean koo spring water and have no ferts at all until week 6 but only for week six cause after that you need a pure water flush anyways and then just follow del's instructs and add some hormones to the mix but id say flush it for the next 5 waterings atleast
