i am growing some lowriders and since sprout i had my light about 2ft away from them, and these little fuckers all turned yellow and started to dry. Can the light be burning them? i took the light 3ft up now and i see some improvements. what you guys think?

If they were seedlings, 2' is too close.
It sounds like you already answered the question though.

LOLLOL....I was high when i did that picture, it's my grow room. I just have one fan hitting the light. i leave the door open most of the time, the size of the grow room is 6ft(L)x2ft(W)x8ft(H). not that big. I think I don't have good ventlation.

Good ventilation entails exhausting the "old" air and bringing in "new" (fresh) air.
Leaving the closet door open doesn't do a very good job of that.

I used to do the same thing--leave the door of my growspace open.
Then I remembered a long-time indoor grower told me how important good ventilation is.
So I put in an exhaust and intake, and noticed a dramatic increase in growth rate.

Optimum ventilation, bringing lots of fresh CO2 into the growspace, entails
-An exhaust fan,
-An intake fan (in a small space and with a powerful enough exhaust fan you can get by with a passive intake),
-And an oscilatting fan for air distribution and stem strength.
