Could use many more details, however yellowing from the top down, leaves curling up...I'm gonna act psychic and say lights too close and burning.

If you want less guessing, let us know age, lights, nutes, schedule, medium..etc.

is that why they are curling? these guys are actually father away then the top of the plant, yet the top of the plant isn't doing this?

they seemed to be doing this ever since the start, kinda. Could it be just bad genes? Cause my other plant next to it doesn't have this problem

What type of light are you using and is that tin foil in your grow area? If you are using HID and tinfoil, it is very likely burned from hot spots. If not tin foil it is just too close to the light, either way it is light burn.

Yes........ beginning of heat damage. Other than that, leaves look quite healthy.

No, they are inside a grow tent. I am using 8 fluorescent tubes in one giant lamp. The other plant next to it is fine... so i just don't see how it could be the light burning it... why are they curling?

I'll still standby textbook heat burn, could be some sort of hotspot base on reflection, or a tendency to foliage spray in a certain area, or any number of other things. Maybe a more clear picture of your setup would help eliminate this idea. You said your mother is closer to the light, however thats new growth burning, it would likely be more heat sensitive.

Move the plants around, or move your lights. You might have something on your bulbs causing a smudge from oily fingers or something which created a hotspot more than likely.

Ok here are the pics of my setup
those mini lamps are just low wattage CFLs

Also, the thermometer says 18C which is 64F (i know, way too cold) i know it should be around 80... but when i close the tent, I've snuck a peak and it goes to about 20C (68F)

The long silver vent brings in fresh air from outside the tent into the tent
