i would imagine it getting to much water or the lights arnt close enough, try upgrading to a t5 something that puts out at least 2000 lumens, or grow outside like me ;)

dont really know, but id let them dry out fully before watering, ive had water damage look like that very early on and yeah get that light as close as possible, but yeah if i had to guess one thing more than any of the others, heat stress

i dont think its heat stress it just looks over watered nute burn and stretched

keep tha light about an inch a way from tha plant and wait till the pot drys completely and cut bak on tha nutes a lil

you can get those cfls pretty much as close to the plants without touching as you can just get a fan blowing on them to help dissipate the little heat they give off. heat stress will probably be caused by room temp and not by light if u are usin a few cfls. using how much your pot weighs when fully water compared to dry can be a good way to figure out when to water, i genrally just wait til the soil drys at the top and begin to pull away from the edge, practice makes perfect when knowing when to water. if you havnt watered for a few days and the plant begins to wilt it needs some water.

idk im startin to doubt what every one says about how cfls put off "low heat". im running 4 26w in a 50 gallon rubber maid for my veg room and the temps are in the 90s with fans and ventalation. CFL do get hot id say my flowering room stays cooler with a 150 hps then 4 cfls

but thats just my opinoion
