Hey, about 13 days into the grow here, first time. My plant is turning light yellow/green, and the tips of the leaves are dying. I am feeding miracle grow 15/30/15 blue crystals at half strength, in general purpose potting soil from canadian tire, lights are on 24/0. Thanks!

Those are the wrong N-P-K numbers for veg. The first number needs to be higher, hence the yellowing which is lack of nitrogen, and turning brown due to too much you are feeding it at a young age.

As above, wrong nutes, and WAY too early to be feeding them.

I'd say just plain water and water for runoff. I don't believe in flushing such young plants. But that's just me, I was a controversial grower, I greed DEC mostly and didn't believe in the word sterile

I gave it a nice watering, wouldn't call it a flush. I'm going to continue to give it plain water for a week or 2. Thanks Everyone!
