your problem is simply this. When you water you only water just enough. WHen you water you have to make sure that 1/4 of the amount of water you put in is runoff. This is to ensure that built up salts in the soil from nutes flush out of the pot every time you water. You also may have rootbound plants. When they dry out a bit pull the rootball out of the pot and inspect the roots. If they are wrapping around the sides and built up at the bottom you need to transplant. Even if it is in flower a transplant does less harm than a rootbound plant. Your salt buildup in your soil has led to nitrogen toxicity on the upper half of your plant and a deficiency in the lower part of your plant which will eventually lead to total nutrient lockout if you don't address the issue. The clawed leaves will never recover, they will stay clawed until they drop off or until you harvest. Do not add N at this point. If you find that you have to repot then before you do that flush with twice the amount of water as the size of the pot with 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide added per gallon, transplant and leave it alone until the soil dries up. Then make sure you water and have plenty of runoff coming out of the bottom of the pot and make sure you feed with bloom and micro nutes only. This will ensure lower salt levels in your soil. This has happened to me on my first few grows. Salt buildup in soil during flower is probably the most common problem there is with MJ growing, novice or expert. I hope I have given you a "real" solution to your problem.
