Mistakes I made this grow. 1. Having lights too far above plants. 2. Listening to someone that said the lights should be 3 feet above the plants.3. getting spider mites.3. using detergent(with micro-scrubbers) and neem, to kill mites).4 Using miracle grow fertilizer on really stressed plants and getting nute burn.5. not cutting my losses at that point and starting over.6. putting these stressed nute burned plants, possibly nute locked out plants into flower. Flowering these stunted plants, and spending money to salvage these yield poor plants.7. possibly there were more mistakes made. 8. taking the depakote the doctor prescribed me. Maybe someone could learn from this!!!

Just saying, the fertilizer being Miracle Gro had nothing to do with you getting nute burn. And as for lights, if they are MH/HPS then that's about right so maybe they misunderstood what type you were using.

I am using hps. The new clones I am using seem to be doing well under the lights, now I have them bout 12 inches from tops of plants. The fans are making it cooler so plants don't burn
