Some Grow Questions & Grow History...

Im new here at Rollitup, so to start off I am growing a seed from a medical marijuana batch I came across and descided to start growing it. I am still
working on my research and peoples opinions on the whole growing matter and have made quite as ways for my first time growing marijuana indoors
and coming out with a good product at the end...

And this is what I have come up with so far...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 Days after the Gemination Process
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now over time using Miracle Gro Potting Mix with Time Release Food, only water I came out with this...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Weeks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now transplanting into a bigger pot a 6"round x 4" deep to keep my plant relitvely smaller in size, the Miracle Grow Potting Soil and a low dose of Nutrient such as Miracle Grow All Purpose Plant Food mixed right with water left out over night (24 Hrs) to evaporate all Chlorine and other harmfull chemicals...

I have a 26W Power Saving Florescent Normal Light for my Clones, I have taken 2 Clones from her, each were cut at a 45 degree, cut off excess leaves and lower stems, scrapped the end of the cutting, then used Green Light Rooting Hormone Powder and put into a soil mix medium... They are using the 26W Power Saving Florescent Normal Light and have a Humidity Dome over them... My Clones are only 3 days old now and should root it 10-15 days so I have been told... I hope they take root and I have great healthy Clones to carry on the legacy of there donor...

3 Days Clone 1
3 Days Clone 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And then the problem... My Leaves turned brownish gold in color with almost a gold shimmer to it as well... So I trimmed off all the leaves that appeared dead and spotted heavily with this brownish gold, tanish, shimmery stuff... The leaves were very dry to touch and crisp, all the leaves were curling up not down, even knowing the leaves where wilting the ends curled up...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am still unsure of the cause but I took measures to cure it by flushing the soil with clean distilled water, flushed for awhile and strained the soil... I took out about 60% of the soil and put new fresh soil in, then cut off all dead leaves... I misted the soil and the plant with room temp water and raised my light up to 8" inches away from the top of the plant... I am using a 6" Soft Blue Forescent and a 2 1/2' Soft Blue Forescent light, rated at 14W for the 6" and 75W for the 2 1/2'...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now what... Any ideas on what happend to her....? And will she survive...?

Your plant seems to always be wet. How often are you watering and misting? The soil looks wet as well in most of the photos. My first guess would be over watering and root rot. I think I also spot a calcium deficiency in the later photos. When did you start feeding? The MG soil would have feed her for about 3-4 weeks and then would of needed a good flushing to remove salts before you began feeding it nutes.

try to cut down on the light and misting to much can harm your plants i had two plants i misted and they both looked almost the same as your now i only mist once a day and they are looking much better try not to give them to much nutes and whatever u do normally a stronger light dos the job but not a full 24our on when i start from seed i start off with 20 ours on and 4 ours off then i slowly work my way to 12/12 by the 5th week its full on 12/12 and then i leave it there till budding is finished good luck and hope your babys looking grate soon again

So I should get a new more powerfull light and turn to 20 lights on and 4 lights out from now on...?
I have a 3 light, One 2 1/2 foot 75 Watt Florescent light, One 4 Inch 14 Watt Florescent Light, and
One 26 Watt Normal CFL.... Is that enough to do what I am doing and is my setup ok, let me know if
I need to change something or do something different, I dont wana loose everything I put so much
effort into...

Setup, Left Side Setup, Right Side

And what apporach should I do about the remaining damage on the plant in this picture...?

7 Weeks Problem

First of all, are you sure this plant you have is a female?

Misting too much can lead to high humidity (that gauge looked up there in one of those photos) which is an invitation for mold and mildew, including root rot. When you mist, don't spray the soil and definitely don't do it four times a day. I alternate between foliar feeding and misting with plain water. I use a pump sprayer, and only do this once a day...never more than twice.

When you are using fluorescent lighting you can keep the bulb just a couple inches from the plants, just make sure they are not touching the bulb. The wilting could be from lack of light, as they get older they'll be able to handle more light. Without sufficient light the plant wont really be utilizing any of the nutrients or much of the water in the soil.
If you have seen the root ball, it should be white if it is healthy. Yellowing and brown roots are no good.

The roots are still white so far, I will stop misting so much, its just that the plant fan leaves turn really dry and almost crisp to touch if I dont mist it every couple hours... I backed the light away for this reason... No mold what so ever, no signs, nothing... I am picking up a PH monitor today here in a couple hours or so to determine if my PH factor is off which it probally is...

How much water is approperiate to mist on the plant so I know also... I will stop misting the soil as well...

You can mist the leaves until you see water running off of them, just don't do this more than once or so a day. Either at 'dawn', around when your lights go on. If you do this while the lights are on just raise them temporarily or turn them off for a few minutes. If there are water droplets on the tops of the leaves and intense lighting, it could result in small burns since those drops are like little magnifying glasses. This is especially important if using an HID, but I suppose it could happen under a fluorescent.

The leaves really shouldn't be dried up and turning crispy, even if you didn't mist them at all. It isn't natural, probably a sign of over-feeding which is particularly likely if you are using miracle grow soil with miracle grow all purpose plant food. There is little miraculous about it at all, it's ammoniacal and urea nitrogen which you don't want too much of in your soil.

This is what she looks like right now even 2 hours since I misted her... I allready flushed all old nutrients in the soil (MG), removed 60% of old soil (MG) and added fresh soil (MG) to it...
What should I do, switch soils quickly... Or no more nutrients just plain water (24 hours sitting out before used)...? No misting anymore...?

I would suggest to stop switching soils. You could be causing unneeded stress.

also with MG soil it has ferts already in it.

STOP USING NUTRIENTS AND ONLY USE WATER.

Also if you can check your soils ph MG has a reputation for having PH problems.

If you can get something like dolomite lime to help stabalise the PH.

PH is at 5.5 to 5.8
