hi im new here this is my first post. well i never got to finish a grow i had growing last year so i thought id try again but have been having the worst luck. anyway without babbling on too much this batch is white widow from nirvana they started off strong but lately they seem to be stunted after transplanting from jiffy peat pellets to foam cups. the new growth on leaves are very narrow(plants are only a week old)and the first set of true leaves are turning a lime green. also the leaves are folding upward in the middle so folding in half basically and the tips are curling upwards a little. i have 4 26 watt cfls about an inch away some are a little bit stretched because they werent close enough but i put them closer. i havent fed any nutes yet only a very weak molasses watering when i noticed the leaves behavior. i have an intake and exhaust fan (the exhaust is bigger than the intake). the temp is around 86 i know its kinda hot but it fluctuates between night and day also whenever the ac is on in the house. i also have a frozen bottle of water to help cool it down and a bottle of homeade co2.
im tryng to get pics but i lost the usb plug for my camera and my phone usb is broke. the only picture i have im gonna try to upload in a little bit from my old camera that died on me right before taking a second pic. any help or comments greatly appreciated

How often are you watering them? try every other day
ive been tryn to let them completely dry out before watering but its usually that time frame every other day. being that close to the light and the fan makes the soil dry out quickly.
