What I'm working with:
Six, 23 watt CFLs (100 watt equivalent) 6500k ~1300 lumens ea don't remember the exact number. Medium box Mylar coating inside. Cheap oscillating fan and humidifier. I use the basic fox farms trio ( big bloom, grow big, and tiger blooimage.jpgm) in a mix of 1/3 vermiculite, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 perlite. I have a 4 week old bag seed a buddy gave me he claims is sour diesel. Who knows what it could be I'm not worried about it but it seems to be growing well. I topped it around 2.5 weeks and it took about a week to get back into the swing of things. It's booming now and I'm starting to notice issues with one of my grow tips. New leaves are growing discolor end and deformed. The leaf I grab looks almost chewed up with small holes in it. Can anyone give me some tips? By the way my ph of the medium reads 6.8 and I water alternating nutrients and plain water every 2 or 3 days. Attached pictures of the setup plus a healthy tip and the unhealthy tip.image.jpgimage.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

The little holes may indicate you have spider mites or some bug eating them. Look at the underside of the leaves closely. i have never had them so can't say more.

Looks good other than that. Maybe lower the nute level a bit.
