So 2 days ago I went to a clinic by my house and picked up 2 Indica dominant clones; deadhead kush and skywalker OG. My skywalker is doing fine and is still in the medium of it's organic soil and will be transplanting soon due to it being root bound.

My issue is the deadhead kush, I just transplanted the clone into a 3 gallon pot which I pre-mixed a few days ago with 80% organic blue ribbon potting soil and 20% organic perlite. I have a basic cfl setup that I am trying out from a book called "buds for less" and have 6 42-watt cfls on my two clones within 2-3 inches of the lights. The deadhead is curling up, though no brown or burnt tips, still very dark green.

I also purchased Age Old Organics and my friend told me is great for organic indoor growing. here are some pics, I need help I want my baby to survive :cry:

I don't care what anyone says. These cfl grows look like boo boo man. No offense. I have seen countless haggard seedlings in the pass few days and most of them are cfl grows. Maybe it isnt the lights themselves, but the newbs that HAVE to resort to them in order to hide shit.

I am a newb myself, but am starting to question how much of a newb I am based on how rough some of these newbs plants look.

I have a Deadhead OG plant (below) and it looks nothing like yours. Peep game. The one on the right. See how fat them leaves are. You gotta get the lights closer. And Im using flourescents too.

Low Humidity would not do this. Have you ever grown under low humidity before or are you just shouting out guesses.

From the looks of it, it looks like overwatering, a PH problem or way to hot in the room.

The temperature has been at a steady 72-75 degrees. I also only watered my plant once since I had it and been spraying the top of the leaves a few times a day. The humidity is at 42%. Also the clone was already a bit wilted when I purchased it and they told me to transplant right away and will do fine, but I am seeing the picture above and the leaves aren't has fat and big. I also do have reflectors on top and white walls all around.

Stop spraying your leaves. The problem might go away. I never spray leaves unless its a clone in the clone chamber.
