3 Dutch Treat, in Coco/Soil Mix, under 300 Watt dual spectrum Feliz CFL and 200 Watt Veg Feliz CFL. Not getting any run-off....two weeks of water only after transplant, nutes twice....started droopin really bad...and getting nute burn...so turned to only water again...and this is where i'm at...

How much are you watering?
How often?
Pots feel light?
Almost all the pics, it appears there is at least some part of the surface soil that is dry.
It appears you have no perlite except for a small bit sprinkled on top of that last pic.
Unless you have no drainage holes in the bottom, there is no reason you should not get runoff unless you're not watering enough to saturate the soil.

first off looks like your keeping your cfl's too far away, plant look fairly stretched out. Second, for each gallon of dry soil, it takes approx 5 cups of water to flush through it with 10% run off, so lets say yer using 3 gal pots, 15 cups of water should flush it, if not, you have some super dense soil, or a type of moisture control soil. Have you tried really going crazy with the water to get a successful flush, or did you just try a (twice the normal amount) type of thing?

What they said plus you also need to know your pH of at least what is going in. It might help to test the run off too.

you need to move your lights much closer, you should also start bending her over and tying her down to maximize your cfl lighting.like this do it once your will never look back. photo was from google

I"m watering every 4/5 days, about 6 cups of water on each of them...pots do feel like but in the bottom on the pot it is still extremely moist....my light is 4-6 inches away from each plant...i'm pretty positive that i'm getting root rot from the bottom of the pot not being able to air out fully. I think that might be my whole problem....some pics from today...the leaves are turning a brown color on the edges...
