Any other pertinent info? Flushed a week before going into flowering and have been doing pretty well afterwards.

It happens only on one plant of mine and maybe on like 4 leaves, top leaves. It doesn't curl up or down but it curls sideways and only half of the portion of the leaf.

Ive been thinking it could be broad mites or it might be my soil ph runoff being 5.0?

Any thoughts?

it could also be the top of the plant getting too close to the lamp and getting too warm. i had that problem before. how far are those leaves from your light source?

Its about 12 inches from the 600w hps

try moving the light up a little bit, or lowering the plants if possible. being as it is only the top few, i would have to say they are overheating a little under a 600 hps. give it 24hrs after you move it around, and let me know how it does. 12" may be just a little too close
