Hi,
New here and hoping someone can lend a hand,
Growing 3 fem cheese plants under cfl's (for now im thinking) I have got 4 225W 6500K bulbs flying over them at the moment with capacity to add 4 2700K bulbs if i decide to stick with cfl's, Growing with Bio-Grow Nutes (just grow at the moment) and im getting solid PH readings and good temps. Had some difficulties with humidity but all in all its been quite ok, over 50% and up to 74% when weather suits. For some reason over the last 2 days ive noticed the tips of one of the plants yellowing quite badly and noticed today its come onto one of the higher leaves aswell as another plant. Im thinking nute burn or N deff, whats the best course of action? should i flush? i cant help but feel that the cure to one of these problems is detrimental to the other and dont want to mess it up? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as im puzzled and want to act. its only letting me upload this pic for some reason but you can see it on the right. Thanks20160306_011125.jpg FP

Yes it's probably nute burn and I would just cut down on the nutes. There resilient plants and your still very early in veg so your good. Like the poster above me asked do you have perlite in their? You def need more then you have by looking at your pictures

Are you going to grow organic? If so I went with fox farms and gh go box my first go around and i did have problems but nothing I couldn't fix. Using organic nutes it's a lot harder to get nute burn etc and the plants are more forgiving with mistakes you make along the way. I am still new also and only have 1 indoor grow under my belt but you def need perlite if your growing in soil.

Cool ill definitely be getting some tomorrow for transplant, New pots have much better drainage ive made sure but id be concerned to change soil, Ive been using a potting soil with a good ph, Can i switch safely?
Think my fans too beastly aswell, not got it right on the girls at the moment through fear of blowing them away. Nutes are from Bio-Bizz, Using Bio-grow at the moment and will introduce bloom first water after switch to 12/12. Sound advice though ppl thanks.

i would not try to disturd the roots.... just be very careful..... 3/5 gallon pots.... add the soil.... dig hole in centre side of ur pots...add some ph water to hole it will make it bigger then hold the plant between ur fingers turn upside down and she should come out easy.... try removing some of the soil before potting.... fill around with soil.... then gently water till ya see air leaving soil... dont water for 2/3 days....
