ok so this plant is uncer CFL and is 10 weeks into veg as of today (starting to flower tomorrow) The room is rather hot with the lights giving off some heat.

was using red spectrum cfl's which gave out heat and the room was 92 but switched to the cooler bulbs which brong down the degrees.

in the beginning, the plant seem to have been suffering from nutrient burn so i stopped feeding her nutrients and giving her just plain filtered water (ph 6.5-7). since she has been doing good with just water, i kept it with water for a few weeks and just recently it has started yellowing at the bottom leaves which has fallen off and working it's way up. started feeding her nutrients yesterday.

i read that when the plant matures, the older leaves that are not receiving much light will do that and fall off and not to worry. Also read it's a defficiency.

though the older leaves have fallen off, the newer ones that grew next to em, are pretty healthy.

sorry for the long story, but needed to get detailed so any experience person can help me

nitrogen deficiency!!!!! those 2 weeks when you stopped giving it nutrients starved it. next time on nute burn use water for the next 3-5 days and then slowly start your nutes at 1/4 strength or depending on how old your plant is. good luck
