Leaves curling upward ... pics

[XroadsterX]

Whats up everyone. Quick question. This morning before i went to work, I lowered my 250 MH lamp to with in 6 inches (used to be 12 inches) from the tops of my 2 plants. I had been experiencing such slow upward growth that I thought it might have been that the light was too far. I did the hand check, and it wasn't too hot or even uncomfortable.

When i got home, one plant miraculously grew a half inch, and the other a quarter inch, but the leaves seem to be curling a little upwards at the ends. I have a fan blowing upwards towards the light to alleviate the heat even more and its also blowing the plants to strenghten their stem. Should I be worried about the leaf curling? I need them to grow a couple more inches so i can flower already.

Any advise ???

maybe something going on, but it looks fine to me. If it was me, I'd put the fan blowing accross the area between light and plant, but blowing at the bulb will work too i guess, as long as the plant gets some wind too.

Plant looks totally normal, I guess it depends on the strain because some of them do purk up the leaves a bit Its when the tips of the plant start curling you get worried and water more.

looks fine to me...

When plants become to hot they will point their leaves upward.. You can even see outdoor plants doing this on really hot days.. But it wont be a curl.. the entire leaf will point upwards and varying angles depending on how hot it is..

nice plants

My plants leaves do this too... I think it's just the leaves angeling themselves so the most light hits them. Or thats how it looked in my box.
