How close is the plant to the light?

SCRAP THE FOIL!

How often do you water...are you using any nutes?

maybe its the temp or humidity? Thats what happened to mine when I first started about 2 weeks ago but I knew it was the temp cause it was to high. Sorry Dont really now u need more detail or some pics

Tempature is the leading cause of what you are desribing. The tempature MUST be in between 75ºF and 85ºF. Also foil will create hotspots which will burn your plants. Use mylar or at the very least flat white paint.
