They look good to me the tips being brown mine usually are, that means a little to much on nutes but just a little.
I would tie the 2 tallest down & drop that light down to nearly 'bout touching.
Get some air moving.
I grow hydro & not long at that,maybe somone will come along that knows something.
HYTY!

Next grow, or possibly now, I would do some training to get more tops up high. Fluoro doesn't penetrate very deep into the canopy. But they look healthy to me.

to cause the plant to create more "tops". bending the plant over to the side causes the side branches to curl up towards the light. IMO it is one of the best ways to maximize your yield when growing with fluoros... research "LST" and "topping" also you should get those bulbs as close as possible to your plants.
 
just topped everything i could on the plants. i moved the bulbs about an inch away.
i'm getting to anxious to find out the males and females. and to start seeing the flowering.

i don't know what wrong with my leaves. i looked at the chart and it kinda looks like zinc deficiency,
i sprayed some the the leaves with fertilizer because i looked it up online. but theres white dots all over now.....

I would definitely refrain from sprayin anything other than maybe clean water on the plant. Just leave it alone for now. Water when needed and if it doesn't perk up in a week or so take action.

i saw a spider web today... this is getting hard as shit
Man don't give up. It's only the first grow. If your goal is to get the dankest flowers on the first shot its probably not gonna happen. Ride it out and if you do you'll end up with hopefully some HOMEGROWN bud to smoke and a smile.

Oh and can we get some current pics? And what's your current light set up
 
the last two pics are what they look like last week, not much change.
my light setup is two t8 bulbs and 2 t5 bulbs. they're not the warm color
just sucks because now the leaves are dying and turning a blackish yellow.

well today i decided to go out and buy another light hood and upgraded the lights to the 3000k for flower
tied down some of the one plant and tied some of the plants together criss cross.
