Could be causing your browning, Take a piece of twine and tie the bud down a little just enough to not touch the bulb. If you have nute burn begin flushing them now, it almost sounds like a deficiency though not a burn. Try feeding them some blooming nutes, you should be feeding with every watering to a schedule.
A month of flowering very little bud

Gently tie the cola down, as suggested. You don't want the plant touching the light.
The reason you have so much foliage is because of the light. As was said, you're using weak lights, the plant is making up for it by growing many big leaves to capture as much light as it can. Leaves are the solar panels of the plant, removing them doesn't help.(See Uncle Bens "https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/158144-never-ending-abuse-phosphorous-bloom.html-a good read). Be sure to keep them healthy along with the root structure, and the buds will follow.(It isn't the buds that need the light, its the leaves). If I were you i'd get some 300 wtt cfls. they are between $20-$30 and you WILL have better results. There is a forum on growing with cfls, and you can get so great tips there.
Also,I don't think you've fed them enough. It sounds like it needs nitrogen.
Hope that helps, GL

a few leaves of my plants got a lil burned by touching my t5's, which i wouldn't have thought was possible, but it happened.. if the brown area is where it was touching the bulbs, i would say that it got burnt.. although everyone says cfl's don't put out heat, they do.. it is just that they don't put out nearly the amount of heat that any hid bulb does. i would think that if it was nute burn, it wouldn't have taken so long to have shown itself... and by the sounds of the amount of nutes that you used, i don't think that you over did it...

takes a bit for the sativas to fill out dont sweat it...3 weeks from now youll be like DDDAAAMMMDDD
yeah its more of a gray area, but the first time I fed them with these nutes, which are jacks classic flowering nutes designed for flowering plants, I gave them too much, like half a tablespoon with way less than a gallon of water, a couple of the plants developed nute burn but it cleared up after a few days, but this time I gave them MUCH less of the nutes in much more water (a whole gallon) and the brown crumbly part that I describe as nute burn came back to some of the leaves but a LOT more this time even part of a leaf fell off and crumbled in my hand and the cola part (with just hairs no bud) that was touching the light is this dull gray now more than brown. So should I feed more nutes? or flush with more water, ?
like I said after using less nutes a lot of the leaves turned brown like the whole leaf and crumbled to the touch, should I flush or nute more? also to answer the light question I am using 4 26 watt cfl's(the kind for flowering I forgot the soft white or hard white or whatever type name but I checked when I had them with me and they are right for flowering). so I have 4 26 watt cfls and 2 42 watt cfl's those are the lights, soooooooo flush or more feed that is the question?
ps: I can't believe that in one night so many leaves turned brown and ruined looking like almost to the stems, it's not whole plants just certain leaves, what should I do?

Haha, and at some point if you don't want your plants to die you're going to have to show us some pictures. You are going to get a thousand different answers this way and you'll never figure out who to listen to. All well intentioned people, just aimlessly throwing darts based upon your descriptions.

The bloom should have some Nitrogen in it or add a little as well

Buds don't need light, the leaves do. Leaves and roots feed the plant, not buds.
