Leaves look healthy but are twisting?

Hey guys! First time poster, here.

(This section might not be relevant, but maybe it is, I dunno)
I just started growing cannabis for my first time, and I started with three clones from the dispensary - Pennywise, cherry pie, and Yoda OG. For the first ten days of their life, they were in a grow box that my friend and I built at his house, and they were under CFLs. I'm pretty sure we were underwatering them for the first week, but they seemed to survive through that just fine. Now they are at my house in a 48"x48"x80" grow tent under LED lights.

(Now to the issue)
Two of the leaves on my Pennywise (picture: http://imgur.com/a/XSgdN) have begun to twist and contort themselves in a pretty interesting-looking manner. The leaves themselves look healthy, but the twisting is concerning me. What could be causing this?

I've been adhering to this (http://www.aurorainnovations.org/AuroraInnovations_RootsFeedingSchedule.pdf) nutrient schedule for using my Roots Organic starter pack to feed my plants. I'm wondering if I'm potentially over-watering when I give them nutrients, and if this is causing an excess of nutrients to be given to my plants.

Thanks for taking the time to help!

sometimes when they have a hard life the plants will eat up some leaf to balance out or grow more roots

Some better pics would help

but like you say they did not have the best start, clone can sometimes eat leafs up to grow roots

and light and air can make them marks

just check for pests, sucking pests like gnats, thrips and such can cause them kinda marks too


Also Welcome to RIU bud !

Thanks for the welcome! Here are some more pics.

The second picture is of a leaf on my cherry pie that I'm concerned about, but the rest are all from my Pennywise.

I`ve never run cherry pie

so I don`t know if it wants extra cal/mag or more N or more zinc maybe one of them

I find some of mine get like that if they have strong led light and the fan right on them, so the closest plant to the fan can look like that

I`d keep an eye out for pests and see if it moves to any other leaves, could just be from the shock they had and the plants recovered

Is it still growing and up taking ?

Maybe a bit of a micro feed or a health tonic, Evoponic do "plant steriods" really makes the plants grow fast if you don`t over do it, just 1 or 2 feeds of it per the life of the plant, don`t know if its got ga3 in it or BAP, maybe both, lol

It's still growing and uptaking water/nutrients; in fact, it's shown somewhat significant growth in the last week. My grow is all organic, for what it's worth. I only have one 12-band 300W LED light in my 48"x48"x80" grow tent, and I'm wondering if that's hurting things. I lowered it a little bit to compensate for only having one, but that may have been a bad idea. I really need to pick up another before it's too late.

so its around 1.2m x 1.2m x 210m ?

Yeah I`d run like 600w to 1200w of led depending on what kinda leds and heat and such

you just blooming the 3 ? I`d go like 100w to 300w per plant, I like plants 200g to 1kg kinda size

Organic is cool read up in the organics sections some people have some great tips for soil mixes and such

If its growing then no problem, I wouldn't even go far out of my way to follia feed it, if it don`t get worse just put it down to shock/root stimulation

I'm having similar issues, I heard everything from "PH issues, Light too close, to it's just genes." For your particular issue, I think you should move the light up just a little bit, Lower the nutes, and look for buggies.
