Thanks so much.. great advice. The leaves seem a little dry to me as well and i'm wondering about humidity now (not sure what it is) i know... i know.... haha. I'm growing in my basement which is normally humid but in North Eastern Canada it's getting cold here now and my furnace is constantly running so that's probably drying out my air.

SOIL HELP! First time grower with plant issues; OG Kush

So I'm using "Kryptonite" soil... which is made in small batches in Atlantic Canada. (Nice to be able to support local) And was recommended by a few people who grow. They said they don't mix it with anything, it already contains perlite, and pop your plant in and forget it. I also head people say that pH doesn't really matter when grown in super soil either but I feel like they are just getting lucky with their grows maybe. I feel like the issue with it for me is that i had such a small plant in a huge pot, being scared to over water and so no nutrients are being flushed out at all. If you grew "properly" the soil may not be an issue. I've literally had this plant as a seedling in a 10g smart pot of super soil! haha. In hindsight, i probably wouldn't do that again and transplant using appropriate pot sizes. I was trying to make less work for myself but actually created more. These soils are also high in Nitrogen anyway so you want your plant to use up or flush out most of it before putting to flower too which is something to think about before using it. I'd definitely recommend it for outdoor grows but it may actually be easier growing in coco coir and being able to monitor your own nutrients instead of guessing what's in your soil. Good luck! 
I have looked into it but didn't find a lot of helpful information about growing this specific strain... except that apparently it's one of the most difficult. lol. So probably not the best to try out your first grow anyway... wish i knew that before. I have never in my life saw a plant that grew like this... it is SO dense! Maybe there are steroids in this soil or something.haha. Definitely going to require some pruning after topping. I'm crossing my fingers that the flush helps it out.
SoOrbudgal Hey... yeah, my light time is 18/6. I have nutrient enriched organic soil so I don't add extra nutes

you know, your new growth looks good. I have had plants with massive palm leaves that would curl similar to yours. Too much nitrogen perhaps but the overall health of the plant and end result was always good. Maybe you have taken the correct measures now. maybe just feed with water for a week?
Topping day!! So since the flush the new growth is looking great! No curled leaves or bent tips. Its starting to stretch out and was growing it's 6th node so I topped it off today. I also did a little bit of defoliating. The photos shows before and after and I am super happy with it now. The light is reaching the bottom of the plant and it looks much more "taken care of". I had some reservations about topping and taking leaves the same day... i hope it doesn't cause too much stress.

Like i said in the previous post, i wasn't sure about taking the fan leaves off and pruning the lower shoots/stems the same day as topping but I inspected those big fan leaves and noticed some different markings on them. I also spotted a thrip on my plant! Second time i have caught one on there since beginning of this grow. Grrrr.... That made my decision to remove the two lowest and largest fan leaves since they were in poor shape anyway. I also spayed it with a food save insecticide spray. Here are a few photos of my finding and what I removed.
