Most of the time the leaves turnig down like that indicate a deficiency of some sort.Most of the time its a macro nutrient.The lower leaf turning yellow as it is indicates that some nitrogen,and some macro nutrients are lacking.What kind of lamp are you using,and how far away is it?

well this is a week and a half old picture there is no color deficiency anymore i took care of that but still all the top leaves are conning like i said plant is extremely healthy at this point i think its because of my fans ... they are pretty powerful
i am using cfl's and i have 4 of them each 100 w for two plants in my grow box and they are always about 2-4 inches away from light

I wish I knew what was causing this, because I see a lot of it, and diagnosis isn't confirmed in my mind.
Could it be pot bound?
What are the temps?

if your only giving them straight h2o,then you might consider putting them on some nutes.They are beginning to become deficient and thats why the leaves are curling down.Recommend a 1/4 dose of some grow fert,and maybe even something like GH FloraMicro,has alot of beenficial macro nutes like calcium,chlorine,and stuff to help them out.

well,it is a thought,but you know better than anyone.Before you water again,let the top of the soil crust up and be dry about 1/2" from the top,if it takes a day,so be it.If the plant responds within hours either way,you know it's a watering prob.The rrots should almost be dry before you water again.

well,I learned that the root ball should be nearly dry before you water for a number of reasons,(root rot,increased growth,and the waterborne bacteria die off with no food supply,etc.).the easiest way for me to judge is to take a big tongue depresser or popscicle stick,put it into the pot to the bottom.ANY sign of moisture=no water.Then I got a moisture meter,no more over watering.Also,as I said,most plants will respond within afew hours either way of any change.They will either perk up,or wilt,giving you a base for troubleshooting.

No I'm not a doctor, but I did stay at a holiday inn last night LOL
A lot of plants do this in flower, so it could be stress related, or a nute deficiency.
Could it be too much airflow causing low humidity?

well i dont think its the humidity cuz of the fat leafs and i dont really see a waxey shine
