Help would be appreciated!!

Taco usually means heat issues...but other than that they look pretty good and should be transplanted soon :)
 
I'm using the cfl bulbs rated at 23 watts per bulb and there about 3 or 4 inches from my plants. The temperature in this particular room fluctuates from 73 to 80 at times. With this can you tell me if its the bulbs or the heat fluctuations that are causing this problem. Thanks for your response as well.

magnesium deficiency can cause it but that's usually in advanced state of grow.
Foliar feed of epsom salts will correct that.
Dolomite lime contains magnesium.

I would say heat stress. You say the temps get 80F, but is that just in your grow room? I like to measure the temp right on the top of the dirt, so you know what heat is hitting your plants. This could be way above 80F in which case you need to lower.

How is airflow? how far from the plants do you measure heat and room humidity? At first glace it look a bit dry in the pots. Still early for a transplant if you ask me. I would wait to they are about a node or 2 taller :) HilGrow has a good point about heat and measurment. Would be weird tbh if it were a deficenzy at this stage of the growth. Tho it depends on the medium your using. Regular soil at this stage would have everything a plant likes and more.

I don't have a thermometer to measure the soil yet. I will have one soon though. ive raised my bulbs a few inches and turned my fan up to high. I have one plant that has been growing for three to four weeks. Its not very tall at all but quite bushy. Here is a pic. Any explanations as to why its short? I just got Fox farm grow big and big bloom and i will be using those next watering. The cfls that are warming it up are 6 inches away. I am new to this and would love to have a successful grow my first time, so i do appreciate all your help.
