I'm growing 5 plants from seeds in soil using a 430 watt HPS lamp. Plants have been in an 18/6 light cycle for about 4 weeks, and are about 12 inches tall now. I keep the light about 12 inches above the plants, have a fan on the plants at all times, and have been watering lightly once a day in the morning as waiting longer between watering causes the leaves to go a bit limp. I've been using a 25-10-10 fertilizer, which I've been applying to my water at about 1/4 strength every second day. I've just switched the plants over to a 12/12 cycle (just yesterday).
Starting from the bottom up, leaves are getting darker green/brown spots on them, eventually the leaf turns completely yellow, then goes brown, crusty, and curls up and dies. Almost all the leaves except the newest ones at the top are brown just at the tips (say about 2mm or so).
I've attached some pics. Please advise. Thanks.
