Hey, new here and a first time grower looking for some advice. I don't really know where to start so I guess I'll get straight to it. Like I said, first grow so Im having trouble figuring out why a couple of these plants have some curling edges and seem super weak and soft. Also, some yellowing goin on in some new growth areas. Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like heat or light stress. You didn’t give us much info, like what lights, how high above the plants, light cycle, temp, r/h, nutes/feeding/ watering, etc. At first blush, I’d say raise you lights or turn them down to about 40%. New growth is usually lighter in color and darkens over the first week or so.
 
To be honest man, I'm starting to figure out that there is a lot more to this hobby than I anticipated lol. All 5 of them r northern lights x skunk from bc bud depot. I recently found out that they r not a reliable source, or at least that's what I've been told. They were planted on june 5th. Been topped once. I started them in happy frog with some perlite and worm castings. About 2 weeks ago I put them in ocean forest and haven't started notes yet. The lights are from somymore and they r 100w. There r 2 of those. Never heard of em b4 but this is def a budget grow. Early stages i had them at about 16 inches above canopy. They've all kinda grown at different heights now so it's hard for me to utilize the lights in a manner that distributes even light. I'd say in they are about a foot and a half above the canopy and st to 100 percent.

Use risers in under the pots to get the canopy fairly even. Move the lights up to 24-30" and see if the curling stops, or decrease the intensity to 40%. The lights should have instructions for approximate distances for seedling, veg, flowering. Or you can google the lights and get the manual.
 
This looks like cumulative damage from exceeding DLI and not overall saturation stress. I do not think 200 watts of power is enough to scorch a plant due to saturation but running it for 18 hours can blow past 34 DLI with even modest PPFD amounts.
Can you measure your light energy in lux or ppfd and post? Either way I would turn down the lights.
Also looks a little green and with the comment that you added EWC to Happy Frog but not as a top dress in like week 3 leads me to believe that's a little hot or was a little hot.
Very consistent grow. All plants showing the issue.
 
Thanks for the advice on raising the pots to make even canopy. I'm also going to decrease light intensity and give an update tomorrow evening. Thank u guys so much really!
 
It's been a few days but I wanted to get back with u guys. Thank you so much for the advice. Everything worked out nicely. Here r some update photos. Tips r still yellow on the 2 plants that r unknown strain. Other than that, everything looks OK in my opinion. Please let me know if u see anything that I need to pay attention to.

They look great, in my opinion.
The bright green/yellow tips in new growth is common. It's healthy, new growth.

Im growing outside. Going out every morning to look at the new growth while enjoying a cup O joe and a J, is my favorite start to a great day.
