This is my first grow and I'm having some problems.

Most of the leaves seem to be drooping downward. However a couple leaves are brown and the edges are turned upward.

Also some of the leaves are curly and have the feel and look of being dried out.

It was dry environment but for about a week now we've had a humifier and humity level of about 60. Avg temp about 75. Theres a fan and we did move the lamp up a bit.

i think you nailed it - if the light was heating the leaves and the humidity was low they just dried out on top
it looks like the lower leaves are OK so the the light is the problem

Ya, I feel like it could be that but we moved the lights away about 3 or 4 days ago and they have steadily gotten worse. Not sure, maybe it just takes a little longer to make a difference??

pic 4 shows foliar feeding, I've had the water on the leaves help burn under the lights, so I'd cut back misting the leaves, or do it just before the lights go out.

These plants are realy hurting bro.If you don't have a decent exaust fan then buy a couple of cheep small fans that you can have blowing on the light and the hood of the light.Also have a other fan blowing across the top of the plants this should sort them out a little.Put a small bucket of water in the room if the room does not have good humidity this will also help with the heat has the water will take some of the heat out of the g#room.Be very careful though not to knock anything over.Lemon haze or lemon skunk both are realy leggy no matter how close the lights are kept to the tops of the plants but make sure that you keep the lights close or this strain will yeild very little.

Hmmm, See I have a good fan for circulation and a humidifier for the humidity so I feel like those are taken care of no??

Alright well i haven't really gotten any new ideas and it's gotten worse since the original post. So i'm really freakin out here. Maybe its gettin too much water. It's been gettin approximately 7-8 oz of water a day? The light is approximately 12-14 inches away as well.. Could either of these be the problem?? I'm reallly stuck here so if anyone had ANY ideas they're welcomed.

im no pro. but i dont think u should be giving any nutes while ur plants are that young depending on what type of soil ur using.they def dont need a lot of water atthat age. only water when ur pot feels lite when u lift. once or twice a week. if i were u i wouldnt foilar feed until u get use to reg watering. what soil are u using

I was using Scotts moisture control at first but when I transferred to larger pots I switched to regular miracle grow. I have NOT given the plants any extra nutes. Just straight water thus far. Also the reason I was giving so much water was because the room was extremely dry and the water was drying out very quickly. However since I've added the humidifier I have seen a noticeable difference in the ability of the soil to retain a good portion of the water for an extended amount of time.

You should give it enough water until it drains out at the bottom.What size pots are they in?

ya holy crap way too much water. Like cee said wait til it is bone dry, because roots need oxygen. Right when you fill the pot with soil, lift and feel the weight of it and remember it. Then as the soil drys you can lift it to see and when its as light as that first time you lifted it, it needs water, you'll get the sense for it when you do it. I had the same problem with my first plant, watered too much in miracle grow soil and it looked just like your plant.

3 Gallon buckets. Is there time for a rebound or are they going to continue to deteriorate?

They will be ok.
Just let them dry out. Stick your finger through one of the holes at the bottom and don't water them until they are dry.If you can't poke your finger through one of the holes, stick your finger in the medium till it's about an inch down and only water when it's dry. Pick up the pot, remember what it feels like when it's dry and only water at that point.
good luck
