Try a computer fan on the side of your box for exhaust, should work good to reduce the heat level.There pretty cheap, sometimes free if you have an old PC layin around some where, and very easy to wire up, pretty quiet as well if your tryin to keep it stealthy. How far away are your lights from the plants? Try to keep the lights 1 - 2 inches away from every angle of the plant.

Thanks for the sub man ur the first that I know of...and light are as close as I can get them....maybe 2 or 3 in. away until they grow closer...

Looks like an interesting grow, I'm subbed! Btw, just to compare size, here's my girl at 21 days from seed:
Of course she had 24/0 lights for a week and has been 18/6 since then, so more growth up front (as rw mentioned above), and she's in an organic potting soil with some organic nutes added, too. I've never been happy with the results from MG, personally, for any plants really.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I fimmed her (removed the growing tip) about a week ago to encourage the branches to grow out more, that's why it's so bushy rather than tall.

Doesn't look too bad to me. That soil looks like it has a lot of pine bark in it (acidic), and I don't see any perlite or sand to improve drainage... so maybe you're overwatering a little? You should be letting the whole pot dry out (not just the surface) between waterings. But the plant looks okay to me, so I wouldn't worry too much yet.
Also, be careful about overdoing the nutes this early, especially in that MG soil.

You should post that in the forum for diagnosing sick plants, definitely looks like something is up. If I were to guess I'd say pH-driven nute lockout combined with slight overfert and perhaps slight overwatering?

I heard of nute lockout...can u explain that one please...

And u think its salvagable?

Nutrient lockout happens when your plant can not access specific, or all nutrients in the growing medium, this is due to a chemical reaction within the medium/solution which prevents nutrients from being absorbed by the roots.
Personally as I said earlier in the thread I don't start feeding my plants nutes until they are big enough (regardless of age). Your plant is still salvageable, Next watering no nutes..Just ph balanced water and she should rebound. When you believe your plant has a strong enough root system start using the nutes at lower strengths then work yourself up, IMO its better to be under fert. early than over fert. early (which will cause lockout further hindering your progress)

I will admit I was eager for nutes and I made a quick and unmeasured dosage...my mistake...glad to hear it will be ok...thanks for reply!

No problem, keep up the good work 
And get your heat under control and that RH up. Over aggressive transpiration will also lead to further problems. Up to and including crisping the leaves which can mimic the look of some nute issues.
Had to mention it. Cannabis has a sweet zone in temp and RH. Seedlings usually do better with elevated RH. Hence the clone domes etc.
Not all genetics are the same of course, but I rarely find anyone running anything geared for heat stress and have yet to find most that handle low RH without issues.
RH and temp outside of ideal ... Survivable yes. Preferred: no.
Cheers.
