Hi, I really have no idea what im doing! This is my first try and something's gone wrong...
I started my plants (ak47) in small pots on the windowsill for the first 27days. I have now transferred to 5gallon pots in a wardrobe with lights and fan.
They are 35 days old now and look tiny. They grew 3-5inches in first 2 wks. But next 2wks only 1-2 inches. Then, after only 3 days of being in the wardrobe they suddenly withered, curled and went yellow.
I think i fried them from lack of ventilation. The dont look 'burnt', just withered.
The soil is PH 6-7. I am using a mix of normal/Miraclegrow compost and perlite.
The temp was at over 80 degrees at one point! i moved the light and its now 60-70. I think this is ok now?
I have now sorted out the ventilation problem, but I'm not seeing any improvements and its been nearly a week since they 'withered'.
I have M.E and am having trouble reading and understanding all the info. If someone could tell me what I can do to save my babies i'll be eternally grateful!
Thank you in advance

PS. they look very sad from afar, but up close the leaves look healthy and 'crystally'. is this a good sign? is there any hope??

I have now tin-foiled all around. Cut a hole in bottom left corner to bring the cold air in, with fan pointing to the light. And another hole top right with fan pointing out, to push out the hot air. I think it was mainly a ventilation problem. I am also making sure the lights are on at the same time every day for 18 hours and watering them plenty. I think I stressed out the plants this wk cos i was being random with the lights cos it was too hot, and watering cos i didnt know what to do and was wrried about over-watering. So... fingers crossed!! Ill try post another pic soon.
