How close is your light and what type/wattage is it?

How hot is it there and do you have a lot of air moving also?

It's a sign the leaves are over heating. Start by looking at all the enrivonmental factors Hotrodharley listed. If none of those are the issue the start looking at the growing medium/fertilisers to figure out what's wrong.
At this point it's more a warning sign, good thing you noticed it. Now the fun part is figuring out why it's doing that.

not normal, thats called leaf canoeing from to much heat most likely from being too close too light. Also you might have a zinc deficiency which is pretty rare

Yeah I moved my light up and they seem to be doing much better, Friday I was planning on switching to flower so trying to get everything squared away by then

Looks like too much heat, do you have a fan you can apply to that area?...Nothing too powerful, just something to stir the air around and prevent hot spots, plus, it's good for stengthening stems irregardless of heat issues...

I current have 1 usb fan on them, Friday when they are moved to the 4x4 tent they will have a larger fan stirring the air

I think the bigger fan will be a big help, I've never really seen a USB fan but I'm assuming it isn't very big lol. You can buy a monitor with a wireless reciever to keep an eye on your temp for 20-25$....invaluable tool to have, you can hang it from the roof or wherever you want a constant reading on the temp, and you can keep the monitor wherever you want so you don't even gotta get up and go to your plants to know the temp. Great for lazy people like me lol.Then you can always know the temperature at the canopy level.

Those PC fans are pretty useless. Better than nothing but barely.

If in doubt on these things equipped the way you are at present - raise the lights.
