alright, I'm still a noob, and this is my second grow(the first one showed me the correct way to get a shit load of seeds). I'm hoping to do better on my next grow, but since I'm still new, I have no idea what I did to this plant.

The leaves are brittle, and I'm worried that I'm gonna kill it...I've been given her just water for the last week or so, and now I'm just starting to feed her again, but very reduced, don't want to over feed again...if anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it, so this doesn't happen in the future.
Someone told me to copy and paste this to the troubleshooting form...I did a search all I found were other comments about posting them to the troubleshooting forms...

I think I found it, and I hope that I answer this correctly...
H=Answer if you grow hydro or aero
C=Answer if you grow coco
S=Answer if you grow traditional soil S...soil
L=Answer if you grow soilless other than coco (Promix, Hyponex, SunshineMix)
R=Answer if you grow in RockWool
T=Answer if you grow in HydroTon
D=Answer if you run any type of automatic drip system, including into soil or soilless
E= EVERYONE needs to answer lol!
E-indoor or outdoor indoor
E-soil, soilless, coco, aero, or hydroponic soil
E-specific medium miracle grow organic
CSL-Soil type/brand miracle grow organic
HCL-Hydro/aero/soilless system type
SCL-Anything you have added to the soil no
SCLR-Soil or slab runoff pH
E-Water source reverse osmisis
E-Source water pH last I check about 6.5 think.
HRT-Source water EC (if hydro)
E-Age of plant 2 months veg and 50 days flowering.
E-Type of fertilizer General Organics BioThrive and General Organics Bio Bud
E-Rate of application (if hydro, this is your PPM number, preferably after each component is added) I water ever 3 days or so, and usually feed them on the lighter side, wondering if I should go feed one time and then water then feed again cycle, unclear on that type of method.
E-Lighting source and distance from plant 2 400 watt HPS at about 12 inches above the plant (one of the lights is a 600 watt, but I have 'em both set at 400)
E-Air temperature (both day and night if you are running a dark period) about 76 -79 during the day, and about 70 at night with an average of 50% humidity
HD-Reservoir temperature
E-Air % Relative humidity 45% - 55%
E-Lighting schedule 12/12
E-Type of ventilation your room has it's just a room I built in my basement, with an open door with access to the co2 of the funace, but the lights do have a 400 watt inline fan.
TR-Did you pre-soak your media in pH corrected solution? no

I take it you're being sarcastic about the seeds?
One thing about some ferts is that they don't tell you how often to feed. The bottle might tell you how much to put in a gallon or liter of water but they don't say how often. The grower is suppose to know this. I'm guessing that you've fed too often. What we really need are close up photos in white light, not sodium, and that's not quite the correct questionaire that people usually fill out but it's close. If you've been feeding with every watering, then that's probably too much, especially if you're not using a whole lot of potting soil. Some soils have ferts in them already and can will be good for a while without additions. It could also be that crispy leaves are due to a hot grow room with no moving air, growing in a dry area. It looks like they've been growing for quite a few weeks and are getting close to finishing so I think I'd just give water and try to keep temps down if possible. If the tips of leaves are yellow/brown, then chances are you've fed too much. That's about all I can tell you now but for next time you might try a different method like using Foxfarm's powder fert, like Fruit and Flower, mixing one cup of fert in about 4-5 gallons of potting soil. Just add water and this will take the guess work out.

Yes bud you have cooked them !! i would fush them right away with at least 5 times the size of ya pots you are useing ! you look like your about a month into flower so i would'nt feed anymore nutes , If u are using pk and a boost just use half of what the recomended amount is , your plants are ok at the moment but flush asap !! if you dnt then the next time you water your plant will feed on you nutes again , and there prob is shit loads in there by the looks of it !! so get rid , but let the soil dry right out first .....You are in soil i take it ??

plus if your in coco i believe your ph needs to be around 5.5. your roots are not absorbing what they need.

I think 5.5 is too low but then I don't use coco. Usually in the 6's is fine.
