have you got good ventalation and a fan going all the time the lights are on. also could be lack of water 200ml every 48 hours. can't be anything else going by the picture

I do.. watering depends on how big your pot is and how good the drainage is.. I gave my plants like 10ml water and people told me i over watered it.. x-x and eventually it died.. oh and how many lights/what kind do you have? if there cfl's make sure there daylights and no less then 26w.. for3 plants id suggest about 6 cfl's.. good ventalation and no further then 2 inches away unless heat becomes a problem. not sure what your temps are running.
