If your fairly certain your watering properly, and isn’t a root issue, in my experience it might be nothing. But one photo I see looks
View media item 1776137So the red circle in my hydro set up looks like nute burn, the way the leaves are crinkling and clawing up. Is evidence that there is something wrong. I’m thinking nute burn or ph burn.
Now I’m a noobie that don’t do soil yet. But I’m my hydro experience that is what results when I have strong nutes.
The blue one. Idk just might be age, plants outgrow there fan leaves like baby’s do their teeth. So I wouldn’t lose to much sleep over it. For the soil. Idk if it is nute burn or ph burn. I guess a flush is in order. Ph down some regular water and flush out 3x the containers size.to reset the ph and nutes in soil. Fallowed by a regular nutrient water last. To replenish with proper nute strength and ph.
I’d suggest reaching out to someone other then me though as I said I don’t have good experience with soil.

Well as far as the nute burn I dont know because i haven't really been using nutes when i water ... what is in there i put in when the plant was up poted .... now the ph burn is very possible... I have never tested ph of water ... i usually just let my tap water sit out for 24-48 hrs before i use it .... so it deff could be that

Idk my tap water is 7.16 and I think I’ve read 6.5 to be ideal for soil. So idk.
you can test your run off like this I think. But I’m not sure myself.

Sweet thank you.... I have to get a Ph tester I do not have one. I will order one but I doubt it will come in time 
. All the other plants are doing great that are planted outside, its just these 4

Hmm, none at the local stores? Might be a bit pricier but the trade of is not having to wait. I got my ec and ph tester online for 25 so idk what they might be like in stores.
But once you do you can get a lil cup like above. Poke holes in the bottom And put some soil in it. And water to run off like you normally do with regular water. Make sure it’s above another cup to collect said run off. And test.
The slurry test I read is 1 part soil to 1 part water have soak a whole day, strain out soil and then test the water that way.
idk I like to test for ec also, the more info you get the better I say.

Or something, it didn’t get to bad indoors.
