Leaves are curling at the end a bit not 100% sure but this is because of low rh correct my rh is only 20 working on rasing it rn temps are only in low 80s tho about 81

Downward curled at tip? If so, more likely an overfeed. Never seen low rh curl a leaf. Post a pic for better diagnosis.

Kind of an upward curl around the whole leaf not on every one though it's quite subtle looks to be almost dried out but the plants have been watered heavy don't want to water too much

Ah, upward curl isn't overfeed so sounds more like heat and humidity.

Yeah I was thinking it was the humidity cause 81f shouldn't be too bad but 20% rh is low for vegging right ?

Any tips to raise humidity I have pans of water out doesn't seem to help would you recommend a humidifier? I think it's so dry in there because I'm pulling cool winter air in from outside

Sounds like temp to me,my humidity would rise if I pulled in outside air.When I had a smaller room I use wet towels.Hey! I just thought of something I seen somewhere.
Take a bucket put a fan in lid,stick 3 short pieces of pvc in bucket pointing out,put a
gallon jug of ice in bucket,turn fan on it will cool down and humidity will rise. I haven't tried it yet,but it looked good,sorry can't remember where I saw it,probably on this site.
Good Luck!

Had the same humidity problem and went through three different types of humidifiers before I bought a bionaire humidifier that has digital settings. Works like a charm!
I can't say that that is your problem with the leaves though. I'm too new at this.
