Tips of leaves curling?

Its about 7 in tall. It's looking health except for the end of the tips of some sets of leaves are starting to curl a little. I'm pretty sure it's due to a little over watering or possible the fact that it needs nutes? Or i read somewhere that maybe its getting to much N? I just bought Osmocote Flower and Vegetable Plant Food and it's smart release. It says it can feed the plant up to 4 months and is formulated for flavorful vegetables and colorful blooms. It also says it's guaranteed not to burn your plant. Its NPK is 14-14-14. I'm using Miracle Grow Potting Mix with a NPK of 21-7-14. However, my plant's leaves were curling before i gave it these nutes. (how do I minimize the file size of a picture bc i need to do that in order to post one).
I just added those nutes the other day what should I do about that? And i have 2 26watt CFL's on it..It could be due to heat i had the lights too close at first but i've backed them up since then and they are still curled down.
Here are some photos i took with my phone.

The first two sets of leaves on the bottom of both my plants are turning yellow. On one of them the first set is completely yellow/green with a little brown and on the 2nd set the tips are just starting to turn yellow a little. On my 2nd plant just the tips of both sets of leaves are turning yellow a little. I also noticed on my first plant (which seems to be doing worse than the 2nd) that the 2nd set of stems branching off are getting loose. The Miracle Grow soil already has an N of 21 plus i added the nutes of 14-14-14 the other day. So I think that it's about to get bad..my plants are rooted all the way to the bottom and the nutes are tiny little balls pretty much mixed in with the top inch or so of soil..so my question is what is the best way to fix this? I didn't really plan on transplanting them again and the fert is pretty much mixed in unless i start to scoop it out..could i possible just put them into flowering and they would be ok or they prob wouldn't make it?
