Background, this is my third grow, I've read a lot, but that's all I know. My first grow was moderately successful and the second was a disaster. I was hoping this would go better.
All the details of my setup are listed below. This is happening with several of my plants. In this example I'm only going to show you #5 because it seems to be the farthest along in the problem and I've got the most pictures of (her).

I'm seeing browning of the older leaves between the veins. The margins of the brown patches are a darker brown. Many of the early leaves were very deformed and/or curled down like a hook at the end. The old leaves continue to deteriorate and brown, but the new growth is green, just very odd. All the leaves hook downwards and seem like they're shaped wrong, slightly deformed. I suspect the problem is the soil I used.
How long has this problem been going on?
-Since the first week after sprouting
What STRAIN are you growing?
-unknown bagseed
What was the establishing technique? (seed or clone?)
-Seed
What is the age of your plants?
-Two weeks
How long have they been in the soil mixture they are in now?
-Since the beginning
How Tall are the plants?
-about 3-4"
What PHASE (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
-Seedling
What Technique are you using? (SOG, SCROG etc)
-n/a
What size pots are you using? (Include how many subjects to pot)
-16oz Solo Cups
What substrate/medium are you using? What brand of soil mixture are you using?(percentage of perlite, vermiculite...etc?)
-Miracle Grow Moisture Control (<--why the fuck did I buy this shit?), cut with about 30% pearlite.
What Nutrient's are you using?
-None so far, just pH~6.5 tap water
What is the pH of the "RUN-OFF"?
-7
What method of pH test was administered? Using Strips? pH pen?
-Strips
How often are you watering?
-Usually every 3 days
What size bulb are you using?
400W HPS
What is the distance to the canopy?
-about 18"
What is your RH Factor? (Relative Humidity)
Between 40-60%
What is the canopy temperature?
It's been varying a lot, but the average has been in the 70-80 range
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include fluctuation range)
-see above, still 24/0
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
-plenty
Is the grow substrate constantly wet or moist?
-No, it drys out completely before I water it.
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
-I think it's hard? It leaves calcium like deposits and the ph is very high, like 8.5 (I correct it with pH Down)
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water?
-Tap
Are you using water from a water softener?
-No
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned or pinched?
-No
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so what and when?
-No
Are plant's infected with pest's?
-No
