Closet grow- 5 gallon bucket with good drainage, fox farm ocean forest soil. 2 5000k cfls with 4 more 6500k cfls, some white poster board as a little reflector. One fan blowing 24/7. I also run a heater because my humidity was too high at least I thougth. 70 percent before the heater.. now its around 50-60. Temp was 70-75 without the heater now its 80-85. I am growing a bagseed I got in cali but was pretty old when I decided to grow it. Took about 8 days just to germinate and then another 8 to pop from the soil. Now its 3 weeks since it came out the soil. About 8 inches tall but very bushy with a very strong stem. It will actually be exactly 3 weeks tomorrow, I added 10 ml of botanicare pure blend pro grow veg formula last tuesday so im thinkin I got too anxious to add nutes it may have been a little early still. She was looking gorgeous till I added nutes and 4 more lights. I see burns around the edges of new leaves so I watered with no nutes yesterday. I just checked her again as im writing this and noticed that one leaf has 2 fingers that are wilting. It is also a leaf that has a burn. The burns are not horrible but looks like there getting worse.

Forgot to mention I don't have a water ph tester yet and I know that's bad. But my soil ph tests at 6.8

Got pics of these nute problems.. can someone help please!

Gotta test the runoff. A liquid ph tester can be as cheap as ten bucks or less. Getting one will generate more than 10 dollars.

Try ebay then, hydroponic stores will usually put premiums on everything. And soil pH meters with prongs that you stick in the soil suck big time.

Fox Farm ocean forest has plenty of nutrients to last for a while especially in a 5 gallon pot......you might have to flush with plain water if normal growth doesn't resume or symptoms get worst.....if you just watered give it another day or two if things don't progress then flush.......and don't use pure blend pro at full strength......always start half strength recommended dose.....don't feed your plants until you see signs of slight deficiencies......

Its a liquid kit. A small vial, a little bottle of drops. Put runoff in vial, put drops of ph testing liquid in and watch the color to determine ph. Of course the guys at the hydro shop want to sell you the expensive pen, the ten dollar kit works fine.

You might wanna edit your original post and put them in there. People have a tendency to not look through the whole thread here

Slight overnute leading to low ph. Flush. My guess is clear water will come out intensely colored. After flush, give 75% strength nutes. Make sure to flush regularly
