move the fan out of direct contact with the plants. The air flow blowing past them is drying them out. Bounce the air off the ceiling or a wall.

fans wont dry out your plants, as long as you water. burnt tips are more serious probs usually

thats what i dont get this light doesnt produce alot of heat and the tips and and on the leaf there are brown spots and the sides of some leafs are turning lime green and the plant is a dark color. this light does droduce a good amount of heat b.c 1 of mi plants grew 3 inches in 1 day and the second fan leafs toward the top curled down and were a lil dry. im gettin a ph tester on wed. b.c this may be the biggest problem with the plants. and i wus micical grow soil that feeds up 2 three months and i did feed the plants sum micical grow fertilizer so i may have over feed them by doin that but there still living stong.

the best advice your going to get is to flush right now.until u can determin your ph.u dont have to go balls out with a digi meter,u can pick up ph paper test strips at any pool store
'i use these in conjunction with my ph pen,im paranoid about electronic instruments" u can also buy sun leaves or gh brand dropper tests for around 3 dollers at a hydro store.if u dont have a hydro store in your town,find a pet store and go to there aquatic dept,they will have ph strips they are for fish,these will work just fine.how old are the plants?

One Is A Month old and the other is 3 almost 4 weeks old. So I go An Get The PH Strips And Hw Do I Increase Or Decrease The PH In My Water Once I Find Out How High OR Low It Is??? Hw Do You Flush Out Your Soil??? And If The Ph In The Water Isnt Whats Hurting Tmy Plants What Else Could It Be??? Ill Post Sum Pics.
