leaf burn from CFLsi

That's what I've been doing, that's why the "burning" has me baffled. I guess I'll skip the next nute feeding and let the plant heal itself. I move the light up an inch just in case. I have seeds sprouting so right now I am stoked! Haha

If under a cup of water soaks your pot then you have a different problem......

No. it didn't soak my pot. where did you get that?
I did however soak my pots to "flush" any nutrients that were not absorbed out. call me crazy but the plants are looking better as a second plant started to "burn" before I watered the hell out of them. growing indoors is a complete 180 compared to outdoors! I have a thriving garden outside, inside is giving me troubles. its a learning curve, but I'm learning.

1 problem i did identify is its mg moisture control soil. won't make that mistake again.

You can also get burn or marks on the leaves if your water with ferts touches or sits on your leaves...

I make sure no fert touches leaves. I'm an experienced gardner, I know from experience what fert does to leaves

Honestly man, who can really say what the problem is?
You are using the cheapest possible grow material known to man...
You have bad lighting.
You have bad soil.
You have bad nutrients.

There are hundreds of cliches like..

You get what you pay for...
You get what you put into it...


It could be a simple problem such as.. you arent watering it thoroughly and it is drying out between waters.

But how would we be able to pinpoint one thing when everything is suspect.

Mr ganja...go fuck yourself. The fact that you are on my feed belittling a newb, tells me youre a pussy ass bitch playing internet grow gangster. spend some of your $ on a fucking personality before someone gives you an attitude adjustment.
This is why I hate forums. some punk little bitch always has their 2 cents to put in. I'm an admitted newb, you're the one that's suspect!

You mad bro?

Honesty is very hard for some people.

What did I say that was wrong?
You have multiple suspect things, how can you pinpoint what of the multitude is causing an issue?
This is probably why you hate forums, you want someone to tell you an exact answer but there isnt one.

My stepfather was a "rigger" he rigged everything he put his hands on. He got things to work, no doubt about it. Problem is, when things would go wrong, beyond his capabilities, a pro would take a look at it and say "what the heck do you want me to do with this?" You can't pinpoint a problem when almost anything could be a problem. You are going to have to figure it out through trial and error.
Make adjustments until something works.


Notice how almost every reply has been something different?

If u had 500 + Watts a little too close I could see it. I burnt mine with like 650 Watts too enclosed, think it maybe something else.

here is some pics of one that was burnt by touching a 250w cfl but still growing fine......

If you didn't come off as a jackass, my reply would have been different. So now I'm labeled a rigger? I have 2 light fixtures with 3 bulbs total, and 3 plants. how is that considered a rigger?

Sorry but your the one coming off as a jackass. You trying to tell us your an experienced Gardner but that's outside where you through something in the ground spray it with the hose and let the sun make it grow. Maybe you add some miracle grow or tomato food and you have a green thumb? That's why I think it is funny when people say its just a weed. We are all trying to help here and offer different ideas because like posted above you have so many variables that are not ideal. I doubt your cfl burnt your plant. Your plant looks small for how old it is. It is possible your soil is causing issues, your watering schedule seems off and what are the ratios of what your feeding your plant (NPK). Your flushing as well? Your plant is still very young looking. Maybe it's your lack of light? We are trying to help bro. You will get some responses that are strait up and to the point and maybe come off a little rude at times. No need to go off on your little rant. Understand you need to learn a lot about gardening or go put your plants outside where you seem to be experienced. Lol
