Brown and curling leaves

I don't know anything about a 20watt Led, at all, but I d oubpt it's doing much good way up high, but then again, I don't know about them.
But cfls have got to be close to your plants. to do any good, Check 9fingers grow out.
DW2 uses them to ,I think
I use them on my seedlings every grow, for the first week or two, and never any further than 2-3inches away

I should have added I keep my cfls 2-3inches is because, I don't want my autos to stretch, when seedlings,but if you want best results, imo, they still need to be fairly close, especially 23watt cfls. One plant in particular, I used a 300watt -145watts Led at the wall, in a small 8sq, foot tent, along with 10 23watt cfls ,an kept the cfls 2inches away from the buds,, and they turned out nice and hard, not lite and airy. Like some do.

Get the CfLs within 10 inches of the plant. I think the plant looks a bit rough because of the foliar spray, give it some time and enough light
 
Ok, right now, I will give them time to recuperate. 20 watt LED, 20 watt CFL both at 24 inches, light fan breeze, no direct sun or direct sun for a few hours a day.....opinions appreciated on everything. fingers crossed. I also added a small healthy potted plant from my green house as a standard.
 
I have to ask. It's not Miracle Grow is it?
Just remember cannabis is not a decorative plant and requires something totally different.
 
Plenty of places that are very fast delivered, if you live in the States, SouthernOregonSeeds, OregonEliteSeeds, New420Guyseeds, New420Guy is the fastest though, good seeds to, imo.
Only takes 3-4days to receive them from Paul, plus you get freebies.
From overseas, you can expect to get them in 10-30days, depending on several different things. Like customs or xrays. And how busy they are.
 
This pic is not today, and the center plant now has 10 27 watt (100 w eq) bulbs over it, you can see they are close to the girls. I have had a plant grow right up inside one of the (smaller) bulbs, it had very little burning. And before you laugh to hard on my reflectors, they are cheap and do the job! They also move in the wind which moves the reflection.
IF those leaves had never seen sunshine, they will burn very easily, and fast.

Wait until its yellow and crispy, at some point even the slightest pressure down will make the leaf drop. Your plant is very small and has just a few leaves, she needs every one of them, I think your plant needs time to recover, make sure to give her enough light
 
Yep the Miracle grow, is your problem, it ain't your lights. But if your gonna keep her in it, I wouldn't do anything either. But you can count on your leaves to stay dark green, with some clawing on the tips, and looking bad, from all the time released Nitrogen in your soil.
You might want to read what Nebula says about using Miracle Grow, in one of her tutorials.
Also read what she says about using cfl, lights.

That is what I was suspecting, Home depot Best potting soil is the worst choice for cannabis so in the future put your girls in some Fox Farm soil from a plant nursery.

I have read around the Internet some bits that say it can be done and sounds like you have grown once in it, but you will find that the plants will do a lot better and yield higher in the proper medium. At this point there is three auctions to conside, two of them will help your plants.

1) do nothing and get what you get.

2) flush alot of water through your pots and start feeding Liquid Fertilizer, this isn't guaranteed to remove all of the slow release nitrogen.

3) Remove the soil by transplanting and root washing into a better suited soil. It has been suggested to others in Miracle Grow on here and successfully done though it could stunt your plants for a little while and You have to be care with this one not to kill your plants

In thirty years of growing cannabis I have heard from hippies to hand books say that you do not want to use Miracle Grow soil for Cannabis I personally won't use the product at all.

Good luck with your plants

I'm with MrFurley , if you got access to some good soil, I'd get her into it, after you have washed her roots off, real good, it probably will slow her down a few days, but she will be a nice plant, come harvest time.

The plants were a lost cause. I dumped them, dumped the Miracle Grow and started over. Guessing we learn best from our worst mistakes. Every thing else I did gave me an excellent harvest last time. My new recipe: 3x4 growing area, six three gallon pots, best potting soil (not medical grow), two sixty watt, CFLs and four 20 Watt LEDs, at six inches with reflective walls and a Computer fan for circulation running 12 on and 12 off. Temp 75 to 85. Opinions appreciated and I appreciate all the help.
 
My new plan: 3 x 4 area lined with reflective alum foil. Bathroom closet. One 60 watt CFL and one 100 watt LED, Both with cheap aluminum reflectors. Distance to seedlings 15 inches.
soil mixture: no more than 10% Miracle Grow, 20% sand and 70% black dirt. Lights 12 on and 12 off. Moisture checked bf watering. Ok, I’m getting gun shy. Any opinions really appreciated!
 
Don't be Gun shy, you have and can do this.
First, Miracle Grow rrrrrrrrr. If you're needing something for nutrients I would suggest against it of course but if you got to use it cuz it's the only thing you can find look at the line that are made for cactus.
Cheap aluminum reflectors can be made from roaster pans from the grocery store.
