I water about every 3 days cause the soil I'm useing holds water. I have a meter that tells me the moistness of the dirt and lighting.. I put a little bit of miracle grow in my water i use to water the plant. i put half of what the box said for indoor plants

Is that what's causing the plant to do that ? Is two CFLs good for 1 plant?

Ok and should I have perlite in the soil?
Yes. It should be about a third of the soil mix.

Its all about airflow. Make sure your exhaust is in the top 10% of the box and the intake is in the lower 10%. Get an exhaust fan running 24/7 and you'll be clear of heat issues.
