alright, my grow was going slow, leaves were gettin brown spots, shit was just goin straight up bad haha, so i moved them out of my grow box and moved them around the house to windows geting the most amount of sun at the time, and for only 2 days it has made a massive improvement, so i was wondering, it couldnt be the water, or the soil doing it too them, because they seem happy under sunlight so it must be either the lighting or the atmosphere in general, and another thing when i stick my hand in there it feels too hot, but the thermometer sticks to around 24-28 c, i tried moving them up and down from the light but doesnt make much of a difference, im using 3 cfl's 1 250w, 2 150's both 5000k i think, 3 120mm fans, 1 exhaust, 1 intake and 1 for circulation, ordinary potting mix with perlite and lime, bottled spring water, with a tiny pinch of epsom salt to every 4L, i water around 2 maybe 3 times a day if it needs it,
also, i could swear that smaller ones starting to flower haha, its getting those creamy thicker white hairs coming from the centre and has developed the scent of a bud. is that possible?
its too annoying having to drag photos with captions so i just chucked emm all on, any help would be good, cheers.

your 5th picture to me shows signs of of watering and or too much humidity. what is your rh? and if your rh is to high as well as your temp with your door closed. it will cause your leaves to wilt up. like us wrinkling in the bath tub i guess.
we can high relate on how we built our setups if you wanna glance at my pictures in my posts.
but i never put my door on my boxes. it just causes too much atmospheric pressure from the radiant heat of the bulbs
every time ive tried to close them i come back five minutes later open the door and get blasted with warm air.

in your o.p you said you swear you see little flowers peeling up, and there autos. so it wouldnt suprise me. ive never grown them but i have one white widow auto in the mail im gonna play with. rh is relative humidity. overall percentage of h2o in the air as compared to air. typically i stick between 75-85 degrres F and 35-45% Rh walmart and other utility gardening supply places will have thermometers with rh readings on them. not hard to find at all.
and its pretty simple if youve never heard the term rh.
its raining outside today, so the rh in the air is probably 60-65%
on a sunny day id have an rh anywhere from16% -40%
its all about controlling your atmosphere.
but yea your plants in the windo sil in the sun and it looks damp and wilted. id say back off on the watering. i water mine when the top soil reaches a dry crunch otherwise theres no point. its still wet

Ditch those computer fans or wire a controller to them so you can up the speed. Those little fans as is are not going to do much at all unless you hook them up to a car battery. I used to use them with those huge lantern batteries but honestly you'll be better off with a duct fan or something of the sort. Also Sweet Seeds' Sweet Afghani Delicious(S.A.D. as it's called on the website) is phenomenal considering it was an auto-flower. About 30g dried and i broke the plant half way through it's flower cycle and she pulled through with no problems other than reduced yield.

I agree on the over watering, you shouldn't have to water them multiple times a day, just get the soil nice and wet, to the point where a little comes out the bottom, and then let it get dry in the top inch or two before you water again.

true, wouldnt that just drown the roots though? and the fans seem like their doinng plenty enough for it, dont think its them. if its the rh, how to i control it?

Watering them multiple times a day keeps the roots from getting as much oxygen and spreading around the pot n such
