are you letting the soil dry out before you water???
somewhat. I just trasferd it to a bigger pot so I'm not sure if that has any thing to do with it. It was looking worse then the pics. Couple of yellow leaves and leaves drawing inward. I try to keep it moist all the time with a bottle spray and water it every couple of days. Also I have two cfl 1600 lumens on it 24 hours

Yeah, stop misting the plant, there really is no need to water anywhere except the soil. When you water make sure you thoroughly soak the soil until water comes out the drainholes in the bottom of the pot. Then don't water again until at least the top 2 inches of soil is dry.
Also since you're only using CFLs how close to the plant are they? They don't get very hot so you can usually put them only a couple inches away. The closer you can get them without burning the leaves the better, since fluorescent lighting does not penetrate very far.

-great advice!!-
So how often do I water her? Do I let the whole soil dry or just top? I'm cunfused as to what you mean. And my leaves curl up all the way. Im gonna post a pic when she looked real healthy. I think I shocked her when I trasferd her to bigger pot. Is that possible?Stop doing that let the soil dry completely or till separates from sides of pot I only spray my girl with water if she is hot that is when her "edges" curl up not entire leaf I veg 24/7 with one cfl 65 watt equiv 300 watts 3900 lumens hope u giving me rep wit all this advice lol keep the questions koming man!!!

Let her decide when you water her you can't go wrong when your listening to her! Yes the soil top will be dry it will separate from The sides of the pot...When that happens you will water her or feed depends on your schedule
example
Monday soil dry so water her
Wednesday soil dry feed micro nutes
fri soil dry water
sun soil dry veg nutes
etc etc
does this help?
Let me know tryna get that rep lol

I don't believe the rep from a person without any rep of their own counts for very much, if anything. The more rep a person has, the more they up your rep if they rep you. That's how it works on another site I use, I'm not sure about this one, just thought I would throw it out there.STACKSHUSTLE said:
