Curled growth, brown spots and newer growth that is yellow are signs of boron deficiency which is really rare. Boron def is really rare because boron is found in nitrogen and potassium though so if you have been using nutes with N or K you should be fine. Boron def is also very rare because boron is found in water. Many bottled waters contain NO boron! Using tap water is good for this reason because your local city water does a better job keeping nutrients in your water although city water contains chlorine and fluoride you leave it sit out for a day and then it is safe to use.
I had the same problem because I wasn't using nutes yet and was feeding with bottled water. I now feed with organic meals from my local hydroponics store. I also let my tap water sit out and feed using that now. Plants turned around and are healthier then ever. Most tap waters are a safe ph but in some cities/areas can be high as 9. You can look up online to see what area you tap waters ph level is at
