Lookin good! Good luck 
The leaf curl looks like over watering to me. If I were you I would throw 2-4 inches of mulch on those pots and water way less often. Mulch is key with large plants. I am guessing the top lair of your soil is crusty and dried. That is where most of your bio life is and they are dying when the soil is crusty. Mulch it and that top layer of soil stays evenly moist with the rest of your soil.
Other than that, they look amazing and obviously whatever the leaf curl is, it's minor. Great job.

Also, you say you water for 20 min everyday. Is that with rated sprinklers? In other words how much water per plant are you giving them? If you are using a 1 gal an hour sprinkler than you are giving your plants 1/3 of a gal a day. Ext ext.

bullfrog44 thnx for your help . It might be overwatering. I was doing 30 minutes a day and then cut it to 20min. might reduce it to 15 min a day. top soil is not dry it stays pretty moist. I did get some cedar mulch and will be applying tomorrow. the plants are wide enough were the top of soil does not get sunlight.
I have 4 bubblers per plant site . they are raindrip. I believe that they are rated 0 - 13 gph(they are adjustable from 0-2 diameter circle)so not realy sure how to figure out how much water i am giving em b but ther is some runoff. will try to do some math later

yep do you have white pistils forming yet or not?If you have white pistils then you may be starting to flower,so add 12 weeks to that and your pretty much done but watch them cause some finish faster than others.make sure you use alaskan fish fertilizer bloom you can get it at lowes and its cheap by the gallon 15 bucks.the fertilizer you used wasnt organic and caused all the problems with your bio life in your soil, always use organic other ferts have metals in them that cannot rinse out=harsh smoke .
Where are you from Yesca73? Can you give us location or lat and long to determine when you might flower. In the Bay area in California, 50 degrees, I start to flower the first week of August with most strains. That lasts until October. Outdoor plants are just like indoor, when you start to flower, they will grow like mad. I know you said you have privacy issues as do I. I start to tie down my tops about this time of year to gain width and take away tallness. If you wait until flowering you may loose a little yield, most plants like to be established before flowering begins.
As far as your mulch goes, that will considerably help with watering. You will find you can cut way down, and wash less nutes away. 2 inches per pot minimum. Good luck brother.
O yea, final weight. I can tell you I would be shooting for one pound per plant with those size bushes. It takes some skill, but you are looking at 6 ounces per plant no prob.
Couple other things to keep in mind. Come September you will want to buy up some Safer brand Caterpillar killer. This will help keep the Caterpillar from burrowing through your prize nugs. It is safe to use up to harvest, however I stop spraying with about a week or two to go. Maybe a little Spinosad around the garden a few times. Good luck.

your garden looks great
your plants will get much larger during their preflower stretch as well as during flowering itself.
nice garden!

Yes the preflower stretch is scaring me in my garden. I had plants go from waist high to 8 ft high for the month of august. Sativas.
Looking awesome!

im in the san joaquin valley. about 2 hours west of da bay. I did notice some Hindu Skunk and Afgoo are starting to develope pistils. think this is kinda early but others are not. these are the 2 strains that growth has slowed on. not sure if the stress has help in the early flowering. the healthest plants like SD , BD , GC, CJ are still growing and no pistils.
I did mulch plants today with cedar mulch. also sprayed w/ Organicide.
I do have some cat killer. They reak havoc here in the valley. I rememberr a few years ago I was inspecting plants and noticed a dead leaf coming out of my top bud. I pulled it out along with a chunk of discolored bud. I was very suprised and upon futher inspection I noticed alittle green catipiller inthere eating and shitting away. I spent the next couple of hours looking through the rest of my plants and couldnt believe how many I found. Oh ya it was hella hot that day. no fun. anyway U would recomend start spraying n sept? guy at local hydro shop said he already started spraying. what is spinosad?? thnx 4 droppin in
