Move your lights higher, don't bother the plants. She'll heal by herself.

Burnt leaf will fall off.

Yeah it will if it gets too bad. The testers are not very expensive, you can get them at any garden surplus store, and probably most hardware stores. not to mention on the net. Basically what you want to do to fix it is adjust the pH of your water so it is right in the 6.5 - 7 range, then water generously ONLY when the top layer of soil is bone dry. If you wake up one day and the whole plant is drooping, just water it asap and by the end of the day it should be good. :smokin:

Man I have Been Living by this!

Good luck bro. Stay tuned!

A little advise, you should try to figure out when the plant need water and water it a little bit before the look droopy, as this may cause some stress and slow down the growing pace. You are lucky that you don't have any signs of deficiencies, maybe you're soil is rich in nutriments... But, eventually it will start to get hungry, better get ready to give it some "food". But don't misunderstand me the plant look great and you're doing a great job! :thumbsup:

Looking at your pics gives me the itch again. I used MH/HPS switchable light and would start flowering them at about 6" tall. They would already have 2-4 nodes on the m though. I've never tried CFL's. If you do get into height problems, you can always tie branches down to where they are horizontal. This is best done early while the stems are still rubbery and bendable. Also, have you read about supercropping? Interesting stuff. For a first timer, you seem to know what you're doing. Keep it up.
