Skinny Leaves + who knows

Hello,
I recently transplanted my plant (lemon skunk) and I've been having some health issues. I think the plant is close to being on the verge of dying.
Anyway, as you can see from the pictures, the l;eaves are really skinny and curled up. The leaves at the bottom of the plant are start to go back to normal. The leaves used to be huge (about the size of my hand) and now they dont' even look like normal leaves. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

thanks

Im by no means an expert but that looks like a plant that I had a mite problem with check the lower leaves is there little white dots on them? or looks like gold dust check the back of those leaves and you will see very little black specs that move its mites During the research of the problem I was told this look is from too much nitrigon also. Spelled wrong im sure but thats for dirt farmers i do hydro If your problems is with mites a no pest stip is the best but it may take a week to kill them all I had a the he-bee-gee-bees about it and cleaned them then used the strips those f***ers were even on my clones and stunted my best plant but there all burning in hell now!!!!!!!! Good luck thats the extent of my expertise

plant problem

There's no specs on the leaves, I don't think it's a mite problem. I think the leaves just got dried out by the lights. The leaves feel burnt (crispy) on the top where the lights are close to. The leaves at the bottom (where the lights are further away from) feel alive and well... I picked off all the dead leaves, and hopefully after the transplant shock and everything it'll get back to it's beautiful old self...

Absolutely,Your plants are getting too much fertilizer. Give them a good flush and then dont feed them for at least a week.

looks like overwatering possible over ferting and if the thin leaves are bunching up (the growth making each one ripple up) it could be any number of nute def from iron to mag to thrown off ph keeping them from absorbing all you give

check your ph if you over nuted quickly flush the plant with room temp water (let it sit out hour or two if its from the tap) then check your ph again and add epson salt water (2tsp per gal I think)

How high are your temps? Looks to me like heat damage. The leaves curl like that to reduce evaporation and transpiration. You were right to move the light back. Check the temp in your room and adjust accordingly.
