need expert advice on first CFL grow
Hello this is my first grow I'm using CFL 2 2700k bulbs 1 6500k 1 5000k (8000 lumens total). I was using 1 6500k and 3 2700k b4 but switched to 5000k for that daylight spectrum. OK so that's how far I keep my plant from the lights in that pic. I give it a couple hrs of sleep everyday I'm using organic soil with nutes in it so im not feeding I water when plant looks like it's thirsty or soil is very dry this grow space is like 2x2x3.5ft estimate with reflective walls
I'm 3 weeks in from potting. I have 2 pc fans for ventilation and a bowl of water for humidity. The first set of leaves the coyledons or whatever one u cut off because it shriveled and died.the other is yellowing and dying..I notice some yellow tips forming on the true leaves
Nvm it won't let me upload a pic this is a hassle lights are no more than a foot away at all times and the whole leaves aren't yellow just two tips are can someone tell me what this could mean my plant looks healthy it's bushy and points up please some advice

no photo but it sounds like the soil is too 'hot'. Try starting your plants in a starter mix for a couple of weeks before you transplant into a larger pail of the soil mix.

Actually the soil doesn't seem hot at all so by hot do you mean too much nutrition in the soil? It had nutes in the soil already. Take a look at these pictures tell me what you think. This is 20 days after potting.
