Been very rough going last couple days, plant has gone from "oh, something is not perfect" to "OMFG its almost dead". I've got the General Hydroponics flora set on the way, as well as Calimagic. But it might not come in until early next week. I basically had in the res distilled water at the very beginning. Plant started showing some brown on leaves so then I thought it needed feeding so I switched it out for a mix of aquarium water and distilled water. Then it seemed to get worse. Last night I added just a pinch of a potassium tablet I crushed up thinking that is what it might be low on. Got even worse over the night and today. So I just emptied it, put a mix of mostly aquarium but a good bit of distilled water, added some crushed coral for calcium, put in a SMIDGE of a crushed potassium pill, and a good bit of Epsom Salt for magnesium. I have no idea whether this will do anything. Oh, I also moved it from under the 3 bright lights in the pic below to where it is now shown in the pic below - the 3 bright lights are 100 actual watt LEDs and the other 3 are like 100w equivalents, more like 9w or something. Thinking MAYBE the lights are burning it, but that seems like a stretch to me as when I measure the lumens under the bright ones I can never get a reading higher than a cloudy day outside.

Anyone have ANY idea what the problem might be and how I might save the girl? Thanks for ANY help!!!

It's in the whole next level of what the fuck! Yes that plant is possessed, I've never seen a plant trying to stay alive yet look so damn awful. It's a trooper but new diseases are coming off that thing, burn that sucker!

LOL, poor girl just trying to stay alive, and yall be like putting your boots on her head forcing her underwater.

I changed out the res to pure distilled water. Sprayed some distilled water on the leaves. Have her under much softer light. I have very little hope, but I shall try lol.

Must be some one-off genetics to be putting that much effort in. I'd wait until i had proper nutes and start over. Good luck.
