Thanks guys, but I haven't fed nutes yet, only 1/4 strength of Rizotonic. But these symptoms started even before I added that.

pH, over watering, huge temp swings, and low humidity I think were definitely problems at the start.

I was using RO with a pH of 7.0 for the first 10 or so days, but since I got my pH meter I've tried to keep the water I was feeding them under 6.0. I'm using concentrated lemon juice as my pH down right now, but it doesn't last long, and within 24hrs it's back up to 7.0. I am only doing WATER TO WASTE right now, so I adjust my bucket of water just before feeding them. Maybe I should shoot for 5.5? That way any residual water left in the tray or on the roots will have more time before the pH rises above 6.5?

At the start my temps in the tent were ranging from 20-30c(68-86f) with humidity around 30% or less. I pulled 2 bulbs from my light and now temps stay relatively stable around 22-25c(71-77f). I also added a humidifier and got the RH between 50-70%.

So...things have improved over my original setup, but was just curious what would cause droopy leaf tips to not only turn yellow,but then to turn up?

Mix your R/O water with tap water to get the ppms up to around 125-150ppm. It wil help buffer your ph and keep it a bit more stable. Straight R/O is a bitch too keep a stable ph.......
