Well thats kinda a sketchy set up ya got goin on there lol but whatever. So do you know whats in the dirt your using? Is it a good organic mix with lots of nutrients in it already or a neutral substance like coco? If its organic soil id just let it keep growing. It shouldnt be deficiant of anything this early i wouldnt think. Id see if the soil lists if it has a form of calcium or magnesium in it already. I sont know what those chips on the top are but that dont look like organic potting soil. Im out for the night though. Peace bro, good luck :):):)
 
seems you have it in a bag if you are watering it more then 1 time every 3 days ur watering to much might be killing it considering your using tap water that isnt PH'd so you could very well be blocking a nutrient or maybe u gave it some nutrients alldready that u havent mentioned? which i would advise against till its at least 4-5 weeks in considering ur new..make sure u have good drainage go get some PH test strips in the rang of 4-9 and ph ur tap water just before your going to feed those ladies ur gunna need some ph down thats assuming its higher ph which is usually the case then ph it to 6.5 like u would a pool and only give them the PH 6.5 water or u can lock nutrients out she does seem a little funky colored other then that dont worry to much nut serious about the ph or u can stunt the growth as well

A possibility is the water quality. With chlorine treated tap water letting it sit out for 24 hours will evaporate the chlorine. BUT many local reservoirs are treated with chloramine which is a blend of ammonia and chlorine. What the ammonia does is keep the chlorine from evaporating, therefore the city spend less money keeping the water treated because the chloramine will not evaporate. How it affects the plants is that the chlorine is never removed. Im not aying that chlorine is the exact culprit because sodium, flouride, and many other additives will not evaporate either, and those a like poision to plants. I would suggest trying a product like flora kleen or clearex along with reverse osmosis or bottled water. When using bottled water be sure to check the label to make sure it does not contain sodium. Crystal gyser is good, and arrowhead is good also and contains about 250ppm of natural minerals. Try 2 normal waterings with the above suggestions, than go back to a normal feeding schedule. A visit to your local water companies website should have all the things they add to the water listed, and you can go from there. Good Luck and I hope this was helpful in some way.

I'm thinking it might be the water too.bt my soil is vigoro organic potting mix it says it contains : processed forest products, Peat, coir , rice hulls , and /or compost, Sphagnum peat moss , perlite , and organic fertilizer bt I don't see how it would start 2 burn the plant after 3 weeks in tho & I'm using 3 Cfls 2 20 watts & 1 30 watt which I know a 100 watts per plant is best wat should I do ?

Is it all chunky like that? Cause that looks more like a passive hydro drain to waste mix or some shit. Does it give a recommendation on how long u til you can start feeding or is this the new shit :):):)

If the water quality is bad than it wont matter how good the nutrients in the soil or a bottle is because water is the method to transport these nutrients into the plants system. Imagine making chicken soup with the best chicken you can find. But the broth and noodles were rancid shit quality ingredients. Id feel pretty sick myself after eating a bowl, and the same thought process applies to water quality for gardens. Its not light or wind burn, that would be bright yellow patches on the areas closest to light s and fan. The leaf tips usually indicate a ph, nutrient, or contaminate issue. In this case I would flush with ro water and a flushing agent two waterings and then use only ro or bottled water with your plant food for the rest of the grow.
