ok first off, my first grow, ive invested hundreds in to this operation and so far nothing has gone smooth.. i ordered 10 seeds from nirvana and im on my last 2.. 3 of them didnt even germanate and the others seemed to turn yellow dry up and die.. ive got a 400w hps that i havent even used yet.. what im using is the 65w cfl floodlight from home depot.. ive been keeping the plants about 2-3 inches from it on 24 with good ventalation (window open and 2 fans running 24/7) out of all my plants they never got to more then a few inches tall.. started all with the paper towel method and then planted in jiffy pellets, havent used nutes so i dont know why they are turning yellow on the tips then brown and dry.. to me it looks like the light is burning them, also the perlite i mixed with "hyponex topsoil" (wal-mart) has turned a golden brown, which also make me think they are too close, but every where i read it says they should be inches from a cfl.. is this for more mature plants or seedlings too?? was also wondering if i just got a bad batch of seeds.. i was tight on money so i went with nirvana, could this possibly be the problem?? seems like im doing things right, it just isnt goin the way i thought it would.. could some one please spare some advice.. here are some pics of my last 2 babies.. one of them was doin good untill i left for the weekend and it dried up and fell over.. but it perked back up but doesnt seem to be doin any better.. thanks to anyone who can help
