I was using Pro mix. It is a non soil growing medium. And was having a lot of problems and small yields. Was pointed in the right direction by another thread that I post it on here, that I needed to add calcium to my water as no calcium was going into my plants that I had a deficiency. Now I'm doing that so what I've been doing is adding half the required amount from my calcium supplement to my Waters, and my nutrients. So they pretty much get half the amount of calcium every feed that is required on the bottle. Now I usually on day one I would feed 3/4 of the strength of regular fertilizer that it recommends. Day to it'll get that diluted with 50% water. Day three straight water day 4 probably no water at all and let the soil dry out a bit. Now my water is usually pH to about 6.2 to 6.8. Definitely in that range. I am using good quality fertilizers and good quality growing mixture. Indoor grow in grow tents 4 by fours. With 1000 to 1200 watt LED lights. I know this is a bit of a story. Okay but now I have this problem, on some plants leaves are sort of tacoing? Sort of curling down in the tip assorted drooping a little bit now I definitely do not think it's over-watering. But not sure exactly what's going on here

Some questions...
First, can you post pics of the whole plant and not just the leaf samples? How old are the plants? What brand of nutes are you using and are you using R/O water? What are temps & RH? Have you checked the run-off PH?

These plants are about I want to say 3 weeks to 4 weeks old. Not using RO water. Using Straight tap water that I have to PH down a little bit. The pH of my water is usually between 7.2 and 7.5 out of the tap. And I use PH down to get it between 6.2 and 6.5. The lights are between 12 to 14 in above the top part of the plant. I haven't checked the runoff. Supposedly the Pro mix growing medium that I'm using is PH down to between 6.7 and 7.0. These plants are still in veg, I have another tempeh cited that are in veg also. A boat the same growth time in both Groth time in both tents. And second tent is also showing the same signs that are going on here. Nothing seems to be really in terrible shape right now. But I definitely want to nip this in the bud before it gets worse

Lights should be 24-30inches above plants canopy. Are you letting your tap water sit out overnight?
You need to back off the lights
Back off the nutes, already getting tip burn, max at 1/2 strength
Yes are you letting the water de-chlorinate

Everything Chris said is spot on imo if you do all he said you will have a nice smooth grow from now on. I would only give them 1/4 of the nutes the bottle recommends until they get a little larger. Then go up to 1/2 strength but no higher.
Ditto ditto ditto
You also likely do not need to add calcium or magnesium if using tap water
