try getting one or two more lights on it just make sure that it doesn't start stretching(growing tall and wire-y). Keep the lamps within an inch of your plant. What light schedule are you using? Remember 18 hours on 6 off for vegetative growth and 12 hours on and 12 hours off for Flowering.

so the lamps have been on almost 18 hours and the leaves seem like they are starting burn, like 2 leafs have started developing a couple small holes on them, this cant be normal? is this a nitrogen defieciency? the very very tips of a leaf or 2 have curled up and gone yellow too

How hot is it in there? Holes in the leaves would likely mean bugs so look for em. As for the curling is this the top or bottom? U may have the lights just a touch too close. Its hard but I have burned a leaf once of twice witha floro.

some of the leaf tips are drooping down while other leaf tips have gone yellow and curled up, this isnt happening to all the leafs. how would i go about removing the bugs if i found that it has some, i haven't seen any even though i've already spent countless hours staring at it lol:)

Spray water on the leaves twice a day this will make your bugs go away. As for the leaves burning make sure your bulbs are abot two inches away.
