Hello Everyone!
I'm a first time grower, I germinated seeds (very rare strain found in the middle east) and 3 sprouted so i planted them in a small plastic cup for starters (1st day is 1/July) and put them under 24 hour lighting (three 32w CFL's 1770 lumen each), I've switched to 18 hours light and 6 hours dark as of (day 11). My grow box (for vegging (4-5 weeks)) is 2.5 feet long * 1 feet deep and 3 feet high, i placed aluminum foil inside the box for reflecting. I'm using a pre-fertilized soil mix, it have enough food for the plant for the first 3 weeks or so. The room that the box is placed inside is an abandoned bedroom in my house. my temps are around 80 - 84 (I have to keep the box's doors open during lights on to maintain this temp, otherwise it reaches 91-92)
I noticed some yellowing-browning on the tip of one leaf, and some of the leafs seem like they are curling and twisting...
please check the attached images and give comments, remarks, advices, suggestions....etc

Mine are the same age.. Exactly..
Three main issues,
It appears that your overwatering them( let the soil dry out completely about an inch down)
Dont give them nutes or as much atleast.
Switch to a bigger cup, cant be clear.
One of my plants is in a cup similar to that size, and the plant is about the same size as yours. And a plant the same age, in a bigger pot is 10x the size.

Nice dude I like your setup but it has alot of unrealized potential. I think if you were to invest in some better light you'd do alot better; and if you used mylar instaead of foil that'd be better too. Actually just plain white paint would do better than foil from what I've heard (I've never actually used foil myself but I hear terrible things that could actually be the reason for your yellow curling leaves). I bought a build your own ballast kit from HTGsupply.com (less than $100 for 400 watts) I highly recomend that but for you anything above 250 watts should be effective. You could buy "Y" sockets from home depot and double your CFL's to come out to like 200 watts but really look into HID lighting before you go over-board on CFL spending.

Pretty cool you've got your hands on an exotic strain; do you know what it's name is specifically? I can't wait to see them all grown up, I've never seen a strain from the middle east on here before it should be pretty interesting.

Thank you guys for your input....

I will replace the foil with flat white paint soon....
I'm not giving them any nutes and i will not till week 3 or so because the soil I'm using have enough nutes for 3 weeks.......
I will transplant them to a 3 gallon pot (my box can only fit 2 so i have to ditch one of them)....
about the lighting i cant use HID lights now (maybe i will for flowering which will be in a different bigger and well equipped/vented box), all i can do now is add another 32w 1770 lumen CFL... i think they will be enough because the box is very small (1feet x 2.3feet x 3.5feet)

I live in the Middle East, and here you cant find any green, only hash (black and brown) because all the mj plants are processed into hash (people prefer it here because its doesn't smell as bas as green MJ and because it's easier to sell)...
the strain I got is said to be 10,000 years old and mainly were grown and used by Ancient Egyptians which only Top of the Society were offered the pleasure of smoking this stuff! (they smoked this shit and then thought about building the pyramids, LOL).

I got the seeds from a bag of weed I was lucky to obtain from a friend and smoked it and this is what happened: (bare in mind that I have been smoking all kind of shit for 7 years)
- after a few hits my head started to vibrate...
- then i felt my soul left my body and floated around, it was like I'm watching my body from above....
- then i went for a walk outside (cuz i felt like i have to much energy to just sit down) i was practically skipping because i couldn't walk normally, it felt like walking on the clouds ....
- then i became unbelievably horny with a hard on that almost teared through my jeans, so i went back home to my wife and had me a 2 hour session of the best sex i ever had!!!!

so stay tuned to see this baby developing.....

the problem is that this my first time growing and i have zero experience in gardening/planting... so i will need all the help i can get from you guys please.

Try and steer clear of clay pots when you do transplant

May I ask what the consequences for getting caught growing mj in the middle east would be? What did your honey think of the 2 hour screw session? Is she arabic? I never had an arabic or muslim vaj. Would like to get that checked off my bucket list.

With temps. already that high, HID lights are not the way to go without extra venting. What kind of ventilation do you have in the space now? And i'm just curious, what color temp are the lights your using now?

The problem here in this country is that summer average temps are around 93F, so it will be damn near impossible to cool the box with HID light.

I currently have a fan blowing air at the plants in the box, when the lights are on i keep one of doors half way open, otherwise the temps go up to 92F. when the lights are off i close the door and keep the fan blowing air on the plants and the temps are around 82 - 84F

The lights i'm using are daylight 3 x 32w CFLs 6500K 1770 Lumens

By the way, if you can find a way to introduce CO2 into the grow environment that will help them stand the heat far better.

Unfortunately not really, at least not for a beginner. I ferment my beer (I brew my own) in my growroom and that helps a little, but for that kind of heat you're talking a tank and regulator.
