yellowing fem babies

[Herbieman420]

i have a feminized blue dream baby i got from seed, the plant is now well into the 3rd week and growing very slow. the first single gagged leaves are yellowing and browing at the tips, :stoned:i have 2 100 wat equivelent daylight bulbs 5 inches away with a fan keeping it at 76 degrease english, the pot is bigg enough no doubt and i water 1 time a day when the lights go off, i have the lights at 18 on 6 off.by the time its watering time the soil is still a little moist if i stick my finger in about 3in in, My soil is very rich and i was wondering if it is over nuted since its such a small plant (the small first round leafs already dried and fell of). im not a complete beguinner but i have never ran into this problem... some help???

Why would you stick your finger 3 inches into the soil ? You will damage the roots.

You lights are not strong enough to support the plants... 100w equivalent is about a 14w CFL.

You need better lighting... I use 190w of LED and 260w of CFL.... You are a very far cry from that...

Two 3 week old plants cant survive on 26w of CFL... You get out what you put in... small watts = small plants...

A pic of your setup would really help. If you are watering everyday then there is a problem. You should water then let the pot dry out then water again. When i start watering every other day i know its time to transplant. What size pot did you put it in? Sounds to me like its a little plant in a big pot? What kind of soil are you using? Sounds like you are getting a some nute burn from the soil. To get a better answer fill out a trouble shooting form and maybe a couple pics of your setup. Since you only have one post you may not be able to post the pic on here but you can add it to your profile. Good luck

its a huge bucket my finger wont come close to the roots, and there each 26w cfl actually which is 52w for a plant as tall as a lighter. im sure its not light i have ran plants the same way for 5 weeks and they got big.

[Herbieman420]

the reason im watering so much is because its a 5 gallon bucket and im not going to wet all the soil for a plant so small. also there is 52w not 26 and im sure light is not the problem i have used the light set up before and it worked fine for such a young plant.

my soil is miricle gro and a veg potting soil mix. my set up is just open to the room with a round hood reflector and platnum white reflectors on 3 sides, the fan is only 12v but i will upgrage as the plant grows. i will post a pic asap of the plants leaves

BTW i have added an additional 26w 100w replacement 1610 lumen 6500k cfl this is the 3rd one on the plant. But if i need more light for a plant as tall as a lighter i have 2700k 26w 100w bulbs, like however many i need. And thx for all the help u guys are awesome

oh i also wanted to say i live in a very dry climate the humidity inside the area is 28.5 do you think this may cause the yellowing and browning of the leaves?
