Does not matter what side the foil is facing it will cause hot spots especially with HID lights. Take it down it's probably part of your issue, replace it with something white.

Cool, keep us updated. Watch for improvement with new growth those old leaves will never really heal.

Way too close, go about 14 inches, check the heat above the top.

Thanks alot!will do so! but if i enhance the air flow and temperature, should I add some cfl's to the hps? or change this one to 4 cfls?

that you are right, she has so many internodes considering her small height. Will a cooling tube help out much or should I go for an air conditioner?

It's a pretty small light to need a cool tube but I don't know the dimensions of your space.

I would look into a good exhaust fan first and see if that controls your temperature better. The increased fresh air-flow will be good for your plants too.

Thank you everyone for sharing their thoughts. I hope my babies grow up strong enough to thank you.

After moving it up, some of the old leaves are starting to uncurl. still haven't found a installation for the cfls, gonna order it in an aluminium store by my own design, i'll put up a photo once i do so. thanks everyone
