hey hows it smoking? first time grower, ive had this plant since 9*29*08 and it is about 10" tall. plant seems healthy nice dark green leafs on most the plant. but i just notices that the tips on almost every leaf even the new ones that are growing in have turned a yellowish brown. ive also noticed that the main stem of the tree has turned a darkish brown. im starting to see that the top fan leafs are starting to turn a little redish purplish. i am growing in soil what i am growin is a bahi black head it is a clone and i got it about 3 weeks ago. im getting ready to go into flowering soon. i am using mircle grow soil not great soil i know since the nute levels are so low. i mixed in a litle ROSE food pebele things into the soil. i feed it with shcultz plant food 10-15-10 and the plant food in the soil is also 10-15-10. i have 5 cfl lights currently on it all in the 6500K and each with 1600 lumens. the temp is usually around 80 but can get up to near 90 once in a while. i have 2 computer fans installed in the box. and one mini desk fan sucking air out of the top. ph in water is 6.8 to 7.2 and i do mix the plant food with water when i feed it a litter of water mixed wid shultz every 3 days or so i also use the same water to spray the plant when it is in its dark. i had the plant under 24/0 lights and changed it to 16/8 about a week ago. i think its nute burns but dont have any experince can some one please hlep me i hope all the info i juss typed is helpfull to helping me. The mircle grow is .17-.07-.21 and yes that is a . Infront of the numbers I fig this was too low so I aded the rose food pebles into the soil and wish I didn't but I can't go dig it up now that rose food was 10-15-10 and the schultz I use is the same I add 7 drops to 1 litter of water... Any one help plzz

Hey, I had the same problem. The first pic looks like burning (like actual burning). How close are your lights?
CFL's especially the higher wattage ones generate more heat than people think. Good air circulation will help ... but you'll probably still need to move your plants down or you lights up.

I would say stop folier feeding.. you can still mist with clean accurate ph water but dont add nutes to the mister... use half the recommended nutes in future grows... Ive actually gotten better results with scotts fert soil then actually adding nutes to the water for feeding. Looks like alittle (k) dif and maybe even N..

You can get those cfl right up on that mother just add a fan at plant level blowing the hot air from the bulbs up and out.. check out my grow i use the 6500 k cfl and only 2 -26 watters.. I added some 30 watt 4500k to mix it up

Burned leaf's with cfl... it would have to be touching.. Trust me from experience with cfl all size.. from 26 watt to 125....

.. burned leaves have a very distinct look... not spotty.. and your promoting yourself alot in your signature.. not that its a bad thing I guess. :wall:
