Need some help: Leaves appear to be curling down/twisting

I have 7 plants about 3 weeks old in 24 hour veg w/ a 250 watt MH. Room is 3.5x3.5, avg temp is 85 degrees in the room. I am using foxfarm growbig (1 tsp/gal) and foxfarm big bloom (only adding this because the feeding schedule at foxfarm said to, not sure if its useful, but I am adding 1 t bsp/gal).

All of the plants look really, nice, and even the ones that look sick are doing well. But as you can see in the pics, the leaves appear to be twisting or curling down.

I have read over all the sticky's, and the wiki, but none of the problems seem to hit the nail on the head for what im seeing.

Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

looks like heat stress how close is the light
the light is 1.5 feet away from the plants, checked my temp today and at the leaves its reading 90 flat, but its stable at 90, is that too hot?

i could move the light up, but then i worry about my plants not being very dense and growing up rather than thickening out.

what do you think?

ur temps too hot and ur lights too far away! ur plants gonna stretch for the light too quickly( mine did this) what kinda light u got btw? maybe need to think bout gettin cfl. and get ur fan( if u got one?) to blow over the top of plant between it and the light to keep temp down. ur maybe gaunna need to vent more cool air in. i had similar probs myself.
