Looks like a heat issue. I had this happen when I used CFL bulbs so I now use tubes and this doesn't happen. How close are your lights and what are you using for bulbs? Also what strain is it?

26w CFLs.. 8 of them currently on 4 plants about 2 inches away.
BIGBUD is what that strain is
very possibly could be a heat issue. temps 90+ normally.. and i only get like an hour to work on them so i haven't had time to cool it off in there with more fans/new setup. i'm planning on doin that though and for now i'll drop it to 4 bulbs.
thanks

Yep, I think that’s your trouble. Have you ever grown using those bulbs before? Like I said I had trouble using them and ended up losing 10 white widow max seedlings and they looked the same as yours do. I switched back to my tubes and they grow like crazy. Good luck

the temperature isnt suppose to be in the 90's, i think it is around 70 or 80?

Your temps are to high, my plants had some heat stress from a spike to 90*F a few times. I started using FL tubes and now use tubes and about 15 75w CFL's using horizontal, vertical mounting and in floodlight domes and they are about 1.7" away from the top of the leaves. I would say work on getting your temps to be around 68-70 and spike to no more than 80. I keep my grow room between 70-78*F Are you monitoring humidity?
