I see no pictures but you're probably overwatering.

New leaves twisted

New leaves twisted

When you see a problem with new leaves, you basically have two choices. Calcium and or boron. Often it is both.

If you don't have enough boron, calcium will not be taken up. That tell take claw look is pretty clear I would say.

Stems in the air and leaves drooping usually means over watering.

Most folks over water, this is typical of farmers and gardeners world wide. This is made worse when one has a calcium deficiency due to the lack of functional roots.

Twisting is indicative of a sudden change, I look at pH first, but we have no information..... Over watering will drown the roots and suffocate a plant due to low oxygen or none at all. Slow, yellow, droopy, spindly growth.... Could be something else. Lockout....I hate that term, Ca and just about any other element can become or remain unavailable to a plant for so many reasons....

OP?

Lockout

Lockout

Interesting concept lockout. Haven't heard that other than in this industry.

Given the look of that medium, it is a water sponge. It is summer in the US, you think cold could be a possibility in July?

Look how those leaves are drooping and the stems are in the air.

Over watering kills root tips before anything else. Unlike most other elements, calcium is only taken up by the root tips. Chances are calcium alone won't fix the problem until water is under control.

Questions: How often were you watering? When you water, do you water until the water runs out the bottom? Is cold a real possibility?

Tell us more!

Thanks for all the quick replies guys.
i just recently transplanted from 3.5in pots to a gallon and moved the tent to an outside shed. temp went from about 70-80 in my house to 60-70 in the shed. i watered last night and two days before that. should i throw a small heater in the shed to bring the internal temp up?
also ive been using the gen organics bio nutes

UPDATE: ok so i turned my exhaust fan on low and added a heater to the room to bring the internal temp of the whole shed up a few degrees. i did this last night and am hoping within the next couple of days they recover

these are photos of them this morning

60 degrees is too cold......67 would be just fine. I'd say go easy on watering, only give them what they need. Don't let it get hot. They look OK

70 - 85f strictly

I find I have problems dipping below or above for extended periods.

Also for watering I find the pot lift test is best.

When leaves have "the claw" look there is too much water or the soil is too dense.

Claw can also mean you're feeding too much. Those yellow parts on the leaves make me think the same.
How much did you feed them?

What kind of soil are you using?

Instead of just turning up the heat with a heater.
Add another light if you can and that will increase
the heat while making your plant happier.
