Could those incandescent bulbs be too hot? Causing it to burn the plant.?

If you look in the background theres a "normal" LED bulb so I doubt it. But if he's running those as close as you would a CFL they will light burn the plant. I ran mine at about 6-8 inches from the plants and they did well, but when I first used them I damn near killed things using them like CFL's lol.

If the lights aren't causing light burn, my experience where leaves yellow and dry that fast is a ph problem. When the ph is too far off it can lock out nutrients. At least that was my last issue .
Hope you get figured out soon.

Looks like Nitrogen deficiency. Could be a pH lockout issue. Here is more on the deficiency: http://www.growweedeasy.com/nitrogen...iency-cannabis
Here is the soil nutrient pH level chart:
You basically need to have your pH between 5.5 and 7.5+ to avoid a lockout with Nitrogen. If your pH is 5.4 for example, the Nitrogen won't be absorbed.

Is that pH reading from before or after you add nutrients. It will change with what you add. Also, you would want to increase the amount of Nitrogen it's getting if there is a deficiency. That may mean getting a Nitrogen supplement to add to the plant in addition to your regular routine. If you are noticing the deficiency you would want to try to correct it as soon as you can since the yellow leaves are leaves that have had their Nitrogen stolen from them so the plant won't die. If you run out of green leaves, then the plant will start to die. So basically you want to address it now if you can. Maybe try something like this: https://www.amazon.com/NPK-Industri...503369876&sr=1-1&keywords=nitrogen+supplement ? I have never used it so I can't really advise you on how to use it but it's just basically straight nitrogen, 20% by volume.

Incandescent bulbs are the WORST thing you can grow with! You should change those to CFL's if you can! http://www.growweedeasy.com/cannabis-grow-lights

I'm going to offer an opinion, please take it as that, just what I think I'd do.
If I had seeds or could get some fairly easily, I get that there are places this isn't possible, I would scrap the plant.
It's now 3 months old, honestly I think it's weak from the rough start it had and I suspect you'll be fighting problems with it the entire time. You've upped your lights a bit, you're active here for advice, and to me it just seems in those circumstances starting fresh would be the better option.
I could be totally wrong. Cannabis in veg state is very resilient and can be saved the majority of the time, and if getting seeds is an issue, then you gotta go for the save.
Best of luck

Not to be critical, but the nutrients and the lighting you have is all wrong and I think that is what is causing the extremely slow growth. You are using incandescent lights (which is a big no-no when growing cannabis) and a very minimal amount of nutrients, both of which combined has led to the plant growing the way it has. You may need to re-evaluate your whole setup and start over. Just my take on it. Cannabis can grow in the most basic conditions outdoors and even indoors but it will likely not produce a result that you want. Just my thoughts on it.
