Let's see, this plant is just over 3 ft (maybe and inch or two over) Soil: Potting and Potting mix and i'm not too exact on the nutes that's in it but i know that I've raised that plant on liquid feed miracle grow
12 - 4 - 8
, and yes you can use miracle grow. I've had people try to tell me otherwise. trust me, last year i burnt the shit outta them with it but I learned this year. Anyways it has been growing for about two and a half months. I am growing it in good sized pot, and it is growing out openly in my room under a fifty watt bulb, air circulation shouldn't be a problem since I have a fan by it and my air condition as a vent and the lighting is about a foot away from it. Did I miss anything?​

upper 90's is way way too hot... also how much nutes are you giving it and how often? also the burn could be Phos burn

I'm not too sure that light is strong enough looks stretched

you won't be moving anywhere growing with a 50w incandescent, at least drop 20$ on some CFLs from Walmart... at least four 23w spiral CFLs 6500k color for veg, can hang a lamp shade over them for reflector. It looks stretched and lanky as fuck (no offense), and 2.5 months is a long time to veg.

it doesn't matter how hot it is outside, only the ambient temp in your room, and the temp of your medium/roots.

If it was my grow, I would go to lowes/home depot immediately and get a soil ph test kit. If your ph has been off for a while, it can lock up nutes... could also have too much salt build up in the soil. Are the dead parts on the leaves crispy and dry, or soft/limp/malleable?

Personally, I would start over by getting the CLFs, topping the plant and getting some good growth going for 2 or 3 weeks... then try to root 3 or 4 clones and throw that plant in the garbage if clones are successful. This way you can grow them with better light, you now have 3 or 4 plants instead of just 1, and you get to practice cloning.

@Malevolence I'm not so sure about that Mal, This plant was grown and raised on that 50w plant light (and I have a lampshade with mylar on the underside for reflection, a little redneck engineering never hurt hah, but I do agree with you on changing the bulb. As far as the the leave shriveling, it wants to start at the center of the underside, more or less the center of the vein, it turns soft and limp then from the center on up it dries out. It's easier said than done to what you suggest mal when you hardly get any money during the month itself and have no job lol. And the temp in my room would would 75-80.

Its definitely stretched. and if the pictures are a tell, it definitely needs more and better light. Why dont you tuck it in a closet with reflective sheeting on the walls....you are losing so much light with it just out in the open like that...only the very top middle is getting enough light, and your bulb isnt good to start with. I dunno man, I would worry first about isolating better lighting for it...these things are meant to grow in the sun...light is probably tied for for most important thing...that and soil. you should know what kind of soil you are using. It can be dangerous to try and add nutrients, fertilizer or in your case miracle grow to the soil if you dont even know if it is already loaded up with nutrients. LIGHTING LIGHTING LIGHTING.

Growing a plant indoors is an inherently expensive proposition. You need to buy enough the right kind of lights, then operate them. An incandescent? I'm impressed the plant got this far. A hundred actual (not equivalent!) CFL watts will improve things a great deal. cn

It would prob do better outside than it will indoors with your setup.

As for your plant it looks like phosphorous ph lockout to me, but idk how close you are keeping that incandescent. Regardless of what is wrong with the plant, it's prob related to nutes and/or heat, and changing the soil and using better light is probably your best bet, and you can prob do this cheapest/easiest by just planting it in the ground outside. You can prob keep it alive just by pissing on it until it starts to flower.
