Do your roots have any chance to breathe? Wet soil without drain holes can drown a plant. Roots can drown! cn

Yes along the bottom their is drain holes and 3-4 on either side so I'm a little puzzled I've moved lights back in case of heat burn I have ventilation in full time I water when soil looks dry and I've used no nutes thus far so perplexed I be:(

halogens dont do anything, theyre not in the right spectrum and they just get too hot..you can keep the cfls within like 2 inches of your plant..but id replace that halogen with another cfl.

EKKKKKKkkkkk what kind of soil are you using? maybe your PH is off and not letting her get the nutes that she needs

I'm just using john innes no 2. Veg mix soil n have added no additional nutes yet could it be heat damage from the tungston halogen light ?

they have Mg in them.

you definatly have a deficiency wether it be bad PH locking out or just not enough nutes in the soil. i would suggest trying to feed them a all around fert with micro nutrients at 1/4 strength and see how the plant takes to that, if it dosent take then you may have a PH issue and have to correct it, plenty of info on here for correcting soil PH.

get rid og that halogen, all its doing is increasing your electric bill, and where the leaves are on the bottom of the plant i would say that its not heat burn from the hallogen but it may be depending on where your placing the light. if there are leaves closer to the halogen than them bottom fan leaves its not the light.

Thx I reported n it grew again but has stopped again the halogen is mainly for heat cos the room gets cold us john innes no 2 no good then ? I live near a homebase anything I cam get from there? N the roots have balked up all along the pot could it just need to b placed in a larger pot to allow expansion*

Lol true i was growing 3 babes but the other two got spider mites very early from sprouting from seed so I really wanna get my last babe healthy n producing the good stuff ill go homebase 2morrow n get some micro nutes any spercific brands to look for?
I've also got a new pot for her which is at least 3 times as big , when I transferred her into it , the roots were just a ball if white so at least the roots r healthy. Just for to work on the rest lol thx
