Hello Rollitup

I'm on week 4 day 22 of my grow. Til last night things seem to be normal. This morning I woke up to some funky looking leaves.

Current temp are between 72F lights off to 84F lights on with 2 fans blowing. I've given nutes 2 times. Once on week 2 at 1/4 strength and again on day 20 same nute strength. Alaska Fish fertilizer 5-1-1 and tap water sat out for at least 48hrs. Soil is a mix of FFOF and Ecoscraps brand with added Perlite.

I was thinking either the led is to close (currently at 26 inches above) and CFL (about 4 inches above plants) or i need some different nutes like calmag?

I'm confused by your LED 26 inches above which should be fine but you also have a CFL 4 inches above the plants? That sounds way too close to me but I don't use CFL. Just based on the pics, I'd say you've over fertilized and over watered.

I was able to resolve the issue. I guess my tent got hot during a power outage and the plants used up a bit more water than expected. I ended up watering them without nutes or sugar til I got about 20% runoff and set them back under the lights. When I woke up this morning, all the plants seemed to be doing a lot better. Leaves are looking healthy and the plants grew about an extra 2 inches or so.
I use the LED and CFL setup to increase lumins. I'm new to this so I figured more light is better. I did lift the cfls to about 8 inches instead of 4 and that seemed to cause the to stretch upwards over night.
