Nute burn or added CFL?

I am growing one plant in hydro. Using
fox Farm Nutes. Followed directions on their provided chart. I got home yesterday. Plant was all wilted. Is it too much light or the nutes. Sorry no pics. No way to upload until tonight. I am doing a flush with pure water with a ph of 5.8. I also turned off the added light. It is under t-5's 3 weeks into flower. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Could a drop in temperature in my cabinet also cause this? Usually 70, but drops to 64 at night. Thanks again.

how close was the light you added from the plant?
 
Sorry for the vagueness. In a panic. Don't know how else to explain. Wish I could upload some pics. I mean she just died in less than 24 hours. Thought maybe lockout? I I don't know. Guess back to the drawing board. She was a beauty. 23 tops. Now, dead. So damn close to spring. Just get some going and grow outside like last year.
 
The is no way in heck one CFL can kill unless you drop it on the plant.
I would think that it is a nutrient issue.

you could start by answering my question of "how close was the light you added from the plant?".
 
if you put ur hand where the plant is and is hot... it is to low... cfls are great to start a plant and some times they grow right into the light... so always check on them
 
Are you sure its not over/under watering, or a root issue of some sort. Those are more likely associated with wilting. I can't imagine nute death could occur over night using reccomended dosages. Though if the plant is either thirsty, or very over-waters, those effects could come on quickly, and they very commonly occur with new growers. What is your hydro setup like and how are your roots looking? The heat dropping to 64 wont hurt, however extreme water temps could have an effect when feeding.
 
Umm...the plant wilted a bit and then died right away? Unless you broke a cfl and mixed the chemicals into the plant it wasnt a cfl, give us a picture, probly drowned and overfed it. Most people will kill at least a few plants this way
 
I have no way of uploading photos right now. I don't know what happened. I think maybe root lockout? It looks near dead to me. I am just running water through her. I don't know what else to do. The CFL added was about 5-6 inches away. Has been turned off and it's only getting worse. Lame.
 
The roots look good. White and lots of it. The entire container has been changes out twice. Think she was poisoned? My mother in law was here, but I don't think she found her. But I guess it's possible.

Well, its not the light's fault for sure.
My guess is an oversight while mixing nutes.
How does the base of the stem look? Is it pinched looking (possibly with a darker spot @ the "pinch") & falling over?
 
Well since you are using CFLs I would say that too much light is really really unlikely but nute burn is pretty damn common...
