It's my first grow, and its only some mid but i would still like for it to be successful...I'm about 5-6 weeks into veg on my eldest plants. no nutes, just potting soil and pearlite mix. im using 2 cfl bulbs (60 watts i believe) my ph is 6.4-6.5 and it doesnt get too hot. my whole house stays right at 74 degrees. i also have a fav in the grow area. but my fan leaves are begining to seem very dry and cracking away slowly but surely.. also have seemed to slow down growth. i clipped the lowest fan leaves because they pretty much dried out already. whats going on, is this normal?

My guess would be that they need Phosphorus and a serious lack of Nutrients. Since your Ph is 6-5 ish I don't think that might be the problem.
You've got to start feeding them with Fertilizers, and also buy a humidifier.

What is your humidity? For vegging you should aim for 50%-75% humidity, this might be hard to achieve if your space is not enclosed.

Also if that is aluminum foil around the plant I would suggest taking it down as it is known to cause hotspots. A plain white piece of paper or wood painted FLAT WHITE would work just as well.

are you 100% sure that the pH is the level you stated or are you assuming? also what are temps when lights are off? temp cannot be a steady 74 throughout the whole house!

im pretty sure the ph is what i said. i test my watter every now and then and its bottled so it sits and distills and what not. when i first started the grow i was using tap water. since i switched water and cut down on watering so much shes made a complete turn around. still growing a bit slow though. my lights are just cfls so not hot at all. i have a fan set up on low for circulation and at night my house gets cooler. i wouldnt exactly say the temp is a steady one
