The first leaves that grow are starting to get brown and fall off....I know they do this but its been 15 days since i planted it....Also the leaves have turned bright green and the ends are kinda burnt....I was using 2 48" 40watt floros and a 42watt and 23 watt cfl someone told me that was too much light so i took away the 42 watt...Then after 4 days i didn't see it getting any better...So i turned off the floros and put the 42watt over it...I don't know what's going on with my plant but i need help quick!!!

That stem is really thin. if anything, you need MORE light. if they're floro's or CFLs you shouldn't have any heat issues. keep them 3-4 inches away at least.

Also, how are you watering?

Got a fan on it....I was told that your plant can get too much light and have light toxicity...

Srry bro, but that is a lot of misinformation, there is no way that 42w produce 68,000 LUX. 42w will fetch you around 5,000 LUX. If he was right than one 42w light would be more than enough to light 10-20 plants, and that is simply not true.
Also Chlorophyll production would not stop, or slow, it would dramatically increase. So that is a bunch of Bull.

Your prob. suffering from heat, well your plants anyways.
Anyways if you don't believe me read up on the matter.

For best info you should research, as much on a topic, usually books are the best. I know what it's like to get different info.

Just post those pics.

It sounds like heat, or Nutes maybe

I Still think it's heat, sometimes the recorded temp. is not accurate, since the plant is closer to the lights
