Hows my closet grow look?

Started these puppies on March. 20th, have them on 24/7 lighting.

Temp in the room is 80-90 degrees, and all plants are in fox farm soil.

Just wondering, in the first two pictures, what is up with them? Are the leaves supposed to be dying off like that? And what is up with the curled leaves on the top of the one plant?

Forgot to add, I'm planning on changing it to 18/6 on Apr. 22nd. What do you guys think? Sooner, later?

Thanks for your help.

seconded... try and keep your temps under 80F, its a little harder in summer... i have a closet grow with a cooltube and they peak at 80F... good ventilation and somewhere to extract that exiting heat to are the key to success

So I just opened up the door, but here are some updated pics (with the door shut...)

I'll give the therm. about 15min and then take another picture and update you guys on the degrees with the door open versus closed.

*Also, I just switched over to 18/6 today. Hopefully that won't be a problem.

**With door open, the temp hovers around 78F. I'm going to try and keep it open as much as possible, though I might have to close due to smell issues.

78 is better... 18/6 now is good

are you planning on taking them outside at some point? I assume mostly because of the date you chose to drop them from 24 to 28

Reduce heat and state what nutes are you giving, how often, and what strength also soil ph would be nice. Need more light as well looks like your running 26w cfls 6500k am i right?

Your top leafs are curled cuz of ph problem, looks too high to me, and under 80 degrees for sure, I like 18/6 for my veg. and it will help the heat problem, you have a fan in there? What nuts are you using?

Awesome, thanks for all the replies gentleman.

I switched it over to 18/6 yesterday, and here is some more info. that may be beneficial.

Temp: 84 w/ door closed; 76 with door open
Soil: fox farms
Water: faucet water from sink
Light Cycle: was on 24/7 until today, just switched to 18/6
Nutrients: none currently, have bio bloom that I can use during flowering
PH: I have a water/moisture meter I have been sticking in the soil, about 2in from bottom of pot, and reads right around 8 for every plant
Ventilation: Single fan in room

I would suggest trying to get a little more airflow than the single fan. For now, keep the door open as much as possible & grab another fan if you can!-Cheapest solution. They are definitely too hot in there! Some nutes now would definitely help them out also... & You're making sure the water sits in an open container for at least 24hrs before using it on the plants, right?

I'm going to add another fan when I get home today.

And yes, I'm putting the water in a old milk gallon jug and letting it sit for a few days until the plants need watering.

Good good! I tried posting.. yesterday?.. But somethin got jacked up & it got deleted/didn't post.. Watch your humidity levels too. That's another reason why leaves curl sometimes too. If that is part of the issue, the fan & open door should help that also!
Btw.. As I tried saying yesterday, don't fret too much! They're looking pretty good! I've got some 2+month olds that are only about 3" tall from being so traumatized from their previous "owner"..... My good mommy skills have helped some, but idk if they'll ever fully recover.

Haha thanks. I lined it with a plastic bag to help keep the water from eating through the bottom of the box. I think it should work..but then again this is only my second grow.
