could be the heat probably too much water and possible nitrogen deficiency. But thats my $0.02 and im not there with the sick little ones lol

temps should be somewhere around 70 75 ish with the lights on

do not go above 80 on lights quit spraying water on them, and I also I do not think you have enough lights, what lights are you useing? pH needs checked daily...

Too much water, definitely.. I noticed a big-slow down in water consumption in my plants when they hit 3 weeks flowering. Nothing magic about 3 weeks, it's just that (I think..) they transitioned from stretching upward to forming flowers, so less water need. I'm back on track now, but mine were looking rough for a couple days.

Thanks for you advices. I am total newbie, dont check PH, PPM, use 5 energy savers (13W each eq=60W), 2 are natural white cool 6500K, other 3 are soft white, 7000lumens or something :D The fan i running all the times, when lights on. I dont check the temp. sometime it feels worm, sometime cold, but never hot!
Any tips?? Im gonna start meassuring the temp, not water it for a bit, and then?? How to make my baby healthier, and keep her that way?? How to make the bud better??

Stop watering them. You're over doing it. If you have a pH/moisture meter use it. Otherwise just stop watering. Let them dry a bit(they're used to this!). Especially with nutes, plain pH balanced water if anything.

Over watered leaves are still semi-rigid. Under watered leaves get limp and lifeless. Your leaves are clearly curling, so it seems they're still rigid enough to hold those awkward shapes. It could be your spraying them with water. I usually just avoid getting the plants foliage wet unless you have distilled or filtered water and are rinsing something else off. There are other possibilities but over watering is the most common.

are you kidding...

so you are saying you only have a total of 65w on your plant.. because you don't use the equivolance to calculate the light... you use the lower numbers

umm...thats all wrong...

get rid of the 13w bulbs and switch to 26w... even 30w or 42w...for flowering you need a lot of light...especially more light than what the plant needed when its vegging....i can understand those bulbs helped during vegging but its a different game when flowering... it needs it for the work...

6500K is daylight, not cool white..make sure you really have 6500k and not 5000k or lower...

and your light ratio of daylight versus soft white is wrong... for vegging... for every 2 daylight bulbs you can use 1 softwhite... for flowering its the opposite... for every 2 soft whites you can use 1 daylight... so you're also missing an extra soft white... but that doesnt matter right now... get some bulbs... 13w is not cool...thats some 99 cents store stuff...

Thanks for your time and help guys. Imma get some better bulbs, however my biggest concern is the hydro. For some reason i pay up the ass at my place...! On these 4 bulbs(cuz i added one recently) i noticed $50 increas in hydro... add all the other shit i bought and all of the sudden it cost more to grow it then just buy it lol but i only have one plant, plus i actually really enjoy it and can't wait to smoke that shit. PEACE :joint:
