whats your temps , looks like heat stress
also are you feeding bloom ?? looks like a touch too much of Nitrogen .
they are pretty tall plants so i would look at the bottom of pots to see if they are root bound , that would stop nutes from getting to her , are they drinking more ?

The pots are on the small side. Been watering every 2-3 days for a couple of weeks. Using Fox Farm "Big Bloom" and "Tiger Bloom" with tap water. Doesn't feel hot under the lights. Humidity is at 30%, room temps between 75-81 constant.
check pot bottoms see if the roots are ok , also could be over watering do you let the soil dry , have you a good fan on them and fresh air coming in ,
thats the basic things , ph might be off , sorry but the list goes on .

check your temps at the top of the canopy , i really do think they are getting too warm up there check your highest points where the buds are

Just moved them an additional 5" from the light. And yes, there's a fan blowing on them 24/7. I only water when the pots feel light. Appreciate the assistance very much.
you got nice plants there , when the leaves curl up like that they are too warm (taco) ... i think thats your only big problem .. also did you flush your plant before you fed the bloom , sometimes the Nitrogen builds up , thats where the kind of (claw) and tips bend , any ways good enough show 
keep an eye on heat up top , thats where your fan should be blowing across the top

Looks like heat stress, some overwatering and probably a ph imbalance/overfeeding. Your soil/medium could stand to use more perlite imo. The CFL's could be a lot closer to the plants too

Two of the four plants are getting dry up top. Those 2 plants don't seem to be drinking up the water/nutes from the last watering {3-4 days ago}. The other two are not getting dry up top. I'm assuming it is not a heat issue, because only two of the four are affected. Regardless, I pulled the worst one away from the light, gave it a quick fresh water flush, and hope it improves. Thanks for all the suggestions.

1st pic is the worst example of the drying bud on one of the plants. The 2nd pic is the bud just to the left of that bud in the 1st pic, both on the very same plant. #2 looks much better than #1, but still not 100%. I flushed 12 hours ago, and removed from direct light. The 2 dry plants don't look any better yet. Is a comeback possible or no? Not sure if I should harvest the 2 dry plants now before it's too late...

Indoor or outdoor?
How big is your area if its indoors and is it well ventilated?
What medium/soil are you using?
Whats the size of the containers?
What's your lighting set up?
What's the temperature and humidity like at any given time?
What's your ph like, both medium and nutes?
Any pests around?
What is your watering schedule like?

Everything looks fine, except the ph and the full strength feedings. Due to the full strength, you probably made the ph pretty acidic and the plant is going through lockout, plus it may be overfed with the soil being FFOF but I don't think we can tell that until the ph is restored to normal. Try to get it back to a ph of 6.5-6.8. A cheap ph pen will still be one of the most important tools in a grow, I've learned that much. If you can, spend $30 and get one online.

They also look a little overwatered; for future reference, if a leaf and its stem is drooping then the plant is underwatered, if the leaf is drooping but the stem is not then the plant is overwatered. Easy way of telling the two apart
