image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg My plant was fine untill I brought this new light now it just looks like it's dying
Whole plant has changed colour it was a nice green now it's going yellow and all but the seedlings are loving it
Could it be just because it's grown under lower watt lights ? Now it's got more

Heat. Get a bigger fan. Are you growing in a blanket fort?!?!?!

EDIT: and how many plants you got in that container? Theyll start to fight for roots at some point. Survival of the fittest.-- Unless!!! They have enough room. I member greatwhitenorth in a kitty litter container x2.

In total there is 5 plants in there
1 on the left in the big plastic tub and 4 little ones in pots on the right

Heat , leaf curl is noticeable. Ditch the computer fan - get a proper fan , check your temps.
Move air thru plant also.

There's really not much heat in there I'm only using 2 10w led bulbs and a 130w cfl
Put off next to no heat plus it's freezing here Im planning on upgrading fan tho any suggestions where to put it?
And I'll keep the little one blowing air around bottom where it is

I'd assume you'd have to put it right next to the plants, you can't even really use an exhaust fan because your growing in a sort of separated area in another room so even if you put an exhaust fan in basically what it has to do is move all the air in the room which you'd need a huge fan for. Otherwise you could just use a simple oscillating fan but it won't cool it down as much which is a bit of a problem because as others have said the leaf curl you've got going is significant. Also do you not have a thermometer and if you do why aren't you using it? you'd be surprised how hot it can get under CFL's sometimes

"not much heat" he says
judging by the screen shot showing prices in AU$ I'm guessing you're in Australia, trust me on this you guys idea of "not to hot" is on a par with "sweet jeebus, I'm melting" for the rest of us, get a thermometer in there and go by what it says when it's at the top of canopy
it does look like heat damage, on my first round I just put my veg plants from CFL to HPS for flower and the older leaves did that before dying and needing to be removed, the plants were fine for it 31g from a exodus cheese and 45g from a liberty haze for first grow with a old HPS was pretty satisfactory
BTW PC fans are great for small localised air movement, handy in the setup i.e. 1 plant or high canopy on 2 plants, but for the love of jeebus get an oscillating fan in there pushing cold air from the cool unlit side of the room to the hot giant CFL side of the room
BTW maybe my own paranoia but might want to leave out photo's which identify you like tattoo's

I almost bought a 300 watt cfl with a wing deflector but after seeing the results I could get from a MH I'll never go back to cfl except for my T5 for seedlings in my dome container

What are your temps? And how do you know its not too hot without a thermometer? Lol. Also. With those PC fans directly on your plants.. Windburn is a thing. You want to mimic an outdoor breeze. Not a hurricane.haha

It might be the heat, but i dont really think it is personally. Just curious tho what are the temps.

Ive never seen leaves look that waxy before... Give us some other details on your grow besides lights (soil, nutes, etc).
