Ok here are some AK-47 clones (not 100% on the strain.)
This one is doing pretty good for the most part. Its tied at the base for support and the main stem is held down to encourage lower growth. I think I could maybe start training the new shoots that have grown but I dunno yet. But thats not really a big issue right now. Its more the weird leaf deformations I'm getting.
This is the the AK-47. Same strain but I haven't trained it at all. Just letting her do its thing. This one has the most messed up leafs/shoots.
When I recieved these girls I was told they were about 10days old. (I guess from being cut and planted). I was also told (you could kinda tell) that they were cut while the plant was in flower.
I kinda thought it was a silly idea to go from flower to veg? I thought I had read somewhere that its alot of stress and time lost to go from 12/12 to 18/6 and its not worth the time lost?
With what I've been told I estimate they should be 27days old.
I've been feeding them just tap water which is 7.3ph. 6.8 is what I want right so I'm not far off. I have PH down but should I be that finicy? I did this for the first 1 week I had them. Then I started feeding with Canna Terra Flores 2 - 2 - 4 with B'cuzz Growth Stimulator.
Both nutes are 1ml per Liter. So I the 2 of these with 1 liter and give each plant 500ml. I will mix another liter if I don't see water come out the bottom of the pots. I stop watering once I've seen that water come out the bottom of the pot. I do this once ever 3 days like the bottle says. The soil feels pretty dry to the touch after 2-3 days. So it usually takes a second mixing of the mixture.
As for soil I'm using Promix BX which seems pretty light and airy and has perlite.
There is an ocliating fan in there with the girls and they are under 6 2ft Plant and Aquarium flouresant lights.
Temps are 65degrees at night. 75-85 during the day. Usually the lower. I Keep the windows open and its cold out.
So any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Also if you guys need more pics I can post more =)

Sometimes vegetable plants will get all their new growth deformed like this. Aphids are sometimes the cause so you should check for that first. The remedy to boron trouble is making sure your ph is low enough in your soil mix. High ph quickly makes this nutrient unavailable. Also, you were applying straight water that lacked boron. This happens in nurserys or places like homedepot or lowes. The plants you get usually will be slightly b deficient. Another thing is that your dose of ferts is extremely low. You should be using 4 times what your using. 100 ppm+ nitrogen. You can use the calculator in my signature to figure precisely how much to add to at least get this. When you use a little dose of ferts = little dose of boron and this might not be enough for proper growth. This problem happens to growers in hot weather when they reduce fertilizer to prevent burn. If the plants don't come out of it after several weeks of changing conditions described above, I can give you a boron boost rate. 
Lmao.
