When the edges of leaves curl like that it is usually a sign of under watering. The leaves are struggling to retain moisture. Personally I sometimes mist my girls but I never foliar feed.

i got a book showing signs of deficiency of nutrient and overdosing even though your leaves are no where close to looking like your pics but the leaves edges is somewhat that of a nitrogen deficiency, in color being a light green but id say yours is closer to a yellow color but im sure theres a right answer and mine is probably wrong. but i figured id post anyway.. so its my uneducated opinion

Okay I watered it was tons of water. I will see tomorrow if it helped.

Before I read the comments and looking just at the photos, I thought nitrogen deficiency. It doesn't look bad though, and seems to be affecting the older leaves, and not any of the new growth. I wouldn't rush to "fix it." Under watering could also cause burn edges, but its usually more dramatic and the plant will have a weeping willow look to it. If the edges are hard, it would make me think that the plants were over fed. If they are soft, I'm more likely to think it's under feeding. Since it's hard to tell, I would skip feeding for one week, and watch the new growth. If new growth continues to become more yellow, I would feed it nitrogen and potash.

okay thanks
so i will just use water and no nutes for a week. And one question is im using hydropnic nutes could it work in soil cause i moved it from hydro to soil

No leaves droop when under watered. Edge curling is a sign of low humidity(guard cells closing stoma to slow moisture loss) and/or heat stress........least you were somewhat close......
OP whats your temps, humidity, lights source and distance from plant?

Yeah i figured out it was the humidity when i turned on my humidityfer it went away. what do you think is a good % of humidity? my is at 55% and im using LED light so its only 4 inchs away from the plant

led 4inces? move the light back thats strees reaction from the IR raising the surface temps of the leaves. you should have said something about your light sooner.

Not to disagree but underwatering may cause some droop after a while of being deprived. But usually they droop from the leaf stem not the leaf fingers at that point. When the edges curl up like that the plant is trying too retain moisture because it needs to be watered.

underwater tight stiff dropped down leaves stem sucked in.
over water droopy flaccid leaves, stem sticking out as normal
leaf curl up heat stress(can also develop ramshorn leaf development) or low humidity (can also cause leaf wrinkle)
leaf curl down high humidity low temps slow growth

Okay i got a new problem now.. the some of the leaves is curling toward the center and the top of it is really hard. Could this be heatstress?
