how much do you water your plant a day? the plant will absorb all of the water you provide it which is why its important to be careful and not drown it.

Not true, the plant will NOT absorb ALL of the water that you give it. If you water a plant that is incapable of absorbing a significant amount of the water given between each dosage than the water begins to constrict the roots. This leads to severe drooping (not just the tips) and can lead to root rot.

make sure the soil you are using is not very acidic you want the ph level around 6.

Also not true, you want your pH to hover anywhere from 6.6 - 6.8. Many nutrients are not absorbed in soil that is close to a pH of 6.

the acidic soil could poison the water the plant is getting and shock its growth. also make sure the water your giving it is room temperature or look warm, cold water will also shock it.

True, very true. Watch this carefully

try misting water directly onto the plant leaves, the leaves will obsorb the water and is a more direct watering system.

I would suggest doing this very cautiously because when leaves are wet and the lights are going the water condensation on the leaves will magnify the light waves from the light and will sometimes burn the leaves.

also you said the light above the head of the plant is about 4 inches away. you want it no taller than 2 inches.

If you can put your hand in between the light and the plant without having to pull it away for a while, you're just fine and can attempt to move them closer, just be careful that the plant doesn't grow onto the bulbs as that will lead to frying.

I hope this cleared some things up!
