Help . What's wrong with my plant

I would position the Compact Florescent Light bulb 5"-6" from your plant to avoid any heat damage from the light. I would use a 18/6 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness lighting schedule. I read a study where lighting schedule versus root length was tested and plants grown under a 16/8 lighting schedule grew the longest roots, 18/6 was not tested. I was made aware of a study where lighting schedule versus growth was tested and plants given at least 5.5 hours of darkness grew the most.

Your leaf damage may be from over spray from nutrients from a watering. Water droplets can magnify the light and burn the leaves.

Hope your grow goes well, maybe you could start a grow journal. It's a good way of keeping track of everything and there is always someone willing to help with any problems also it's good fun. labexperiment (above)has a good link in his signiture on "how to start a grow journal" this is a good read and will guide you on how to start one

I recommend 18/6 on all Photo strains, I do not know about autos but have read most light schedules are fine for them.

I use 17/7 for my autos with good results.
