Doesn't appear to show any plant abnomalities genetic wise. Whatever the plant is getting or not getting this is something that can be fixed - no need to scrap em.

This may be your problem:

Nitrogen Toxicity
Problem: Dark green leaves, weak stems, and overall slow growth. Marijuana leaves that are nitrogen toxic often get "The Claw" or talon-like leaves that are bent at the ends. They also do an odd curving (or cupping) that is often mistaken for overwatering, but is unique to nitrogen toxicity. You can see a "clawing" leaf pictured to the right and more pictures below (click each picture for a close-up).

Leaves that turn into claws often start turning yellow and dying if the nitrogen toxicity is not treated, much like a nitrogen deficiency, only the leaves will continue to get more and more clawed. Leaves eventually turn yellow or brown and fall off. You can tell if yellowing is caused by too much nitrogen because the rest of the plant will be dark green, and the yellowing leaves will turn into claws first.

The majority of times that growers encounter problems with nitrogen, it's from giving too much of it to their plants.

I'd hate to get rid expecially if there goin to pull threw...that's a lot of yield I would be loosing from this grow I just don't understand they don't show signs of deficiency I was thinking maybe a little N toxic but my others are just fine think I'm guna wait untile My final transplant to determine Wether I will keep them or not

Let em ride for now. I have one plant out of 23 that is doing the claw. It's right in the middle of everything so it's getting plenty of light. I feed them all the same stuff at the same time... I have no idea why it's doing that, but it's in week 5 of flower now an WILL pull through so I ain't doing anything different with it now - If I did I'd probably screw up the entire plant...

Just wait it out, roots is kind of strong for some seedlings, made some of mine not happy before. Use a bagged soil with less amendments next. There are starter soils, like sunshine mix #4 or something can't remember.

Try and give them a good leech mate, I used a miricale grow soluble with allot of nitrogen once before and had that dark green and claw with thin stem growth.. After a good watering with 6.2 ph bottled water and achieving 40 to 50% run off and it calmed down and new growth was back to normal. Hope it helps

Don't scrap those just back way down on the nutes and make sure your watering thoroughly and letting it dry completely before you water again .......
