do you have that area completely covered? if so you need proper ventilation to let out excessive heat, also a fan would help. its either that or the roots cant breath for some reason, you might be watering it too much, let the surface dry out to where u can stick your finger in a about an inch and its dry, then rewater. what type of soil are you using? *edit* now that i look at it it looks like heat stress. oh and i love the basketball lolol in every pic the soil looks wet though, so i would ventilate and hold off on watering as well, its much more easy to overwater, then to underwater

if you go to walmart or equivalent and get wrapping paper. as reflective as foil but doesn't create heat spots on your plant. or so i've heard

you will need more light yes.......but if you pick up 2 42watt 6500k and keep the 2 2700k you got already you should be fine for a while btu you will need more eventually
man just pic up a shit load of 65k cuz tha bigger they get the more light they need
