6 weeks veg - Now this?

Northern Lights in soil. 60 watt CFL at night, placed outside during the day.
6 weeks of into veg things were looking good.
Now top leaves are twisting and feel dry.
Any ideas what is ailing this one?

What are you growing in (size and medium)?
What is you watering and feeding been?
My first thought is a nute deficiency - possibly from PH, but we need more to go on.
 
Growing in 1 gallon pot in soil - potting mix with worm castings, dolomite lime, bat quano, epsom salt
PH seems fine. The runoff checks in at 6.5
Earth Juice nutes: grow, microblast, meta k - in mild dosage 1 / week
One plant shows N -tox so last week it was ph'd water only.
The others seem fine - leaves are a lime green with no abnormal growth.
 
Using 6 40-60 watt CFLS 12 hrs. (+12 hours outside) If I cut it down to an 18/6 schedule will I force them into flower? Wanted to get another 6 weeks of veg before I put them outside full time May 1 so I get a harvest in July.
 
They shouldn't flower under 18/6. It usually takes something less than 14 hours of light per day.
Unless you are going to bring them inside early every evening, or create artificial darkness outside, you won't get a harvest in July. Depending on the strain you are probably looking at October - December. Some a little sooner / some even a little later.
 
What about the roots? Clones in rockwool initially planted into solo cups for 2 weeks (soil). About 1/2" of rockwool is above the soil level. Then into the1 gallons, same soil, but added in mycorrhizae to the mix. Pot is about 12 ", plant about 20".
Owing to taking them in and out 2/day I can't re-pot into larger, unless I leave them out, in which case they'll go into flower.
Use indica dominant hybrids, live in north San Diego County so this technique gives me July harvests when I put them out for good in 7 gallon pots on May 1.

Very cool it works that way for you. I take mine in each night (7 gal pots). I moved them outside permanently in mid-May (a little cooler up here in Oregon), but the Indica-dominant plants (Pitbull = quick strain) still didn't get chopped until mid-October.
