What is your experience level? First Timer

Your Equipment:
.1) Type and wattage of lights. 4 65 watt florecenc, and 1 Cfl

.2) Distance from tops? There on the sides, less then 1 foot away, the cfl sits inside the pot about 3" away from the plant, I move it around it weekly

.3) Reflector type? White Walls, basic Shop reflectors behind the bulbs

.4) Is there a consistent fresh air supply? There is a fain curculating air inside of it, and holes on the outside, but not a direct in and out Exhaust and vent fan like I wanted due to the leaking light

.5) Do you have an exhaust fan and a circulation fan? See above

.6) What are the bulb wattages, kelvin ratings, and schedule? see above, Unknown Kelvin ratings,12/12 light schedule

Your medium:
.7) Specific brand and type of soil, (coco, peat based soilless...) and anything you've added to it. Some compost with a little bit of added top soil.. ( started out as a non-serious outdoor project and i fell in love..)

.8) Size of container. 5-10 gallons? Way too big..

.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? No

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting?Tap water/No PH tester avalible

13) Specific brand and N-P-K ratio for each bottle. List dosages (quantity per gallon) and current feeding schedule. Fox Farms Big bloom, 0.01-0.3-0.7 // Fox Farm Open sesame , 5-45-19 //SUPERTHRIVE!! ,?-?-?

14) How often are you watering between feedings, and how much per watering? I water it about every 3-4 days depending on the soil wetness, I've only added my nutes onetime (it was green and happy before I did, But I did Flush it before adding the nutes to it)

15) Any additives or tea's? SuperThrive

16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? N/A

17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? N/A

Your growroom:
19) Indoors or outdoors? Indoors (started outdoors for 45 days, Switched it inside 2 weeks ago for flowering)

20) What size of closet, room or hut? 5 foot tall, 3 foot wide, 3 foot deep

21) What are the temps and humidity levels while lights are on? ...With lights off? About 90 degrees during the day, and 70 at nights

22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? Yes, I had a HORRIBLE infestation of bugs right before I added my nutes, I spliced up some Garlic and threw it on top of the soil and the bugs seem to be retreating.. slowly

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? The head high one...

24) From seeds or clones? Seeds


My beautiful plant.. It's from a california medical strain called Nebula? Or so I'm told... It's been inside for a little over 2 weeks? and it looked really good before I started adding nutes.. and flushing the water.. Now the leaves are turning yellow, cruling up, dieing, and falling off... I have several pictures here that mabey somone can take a look at, I'll take any advice please and thank you..

A couple of things stand-out.
You'll need to find out your water ph. One of those freshwater aquarium test kits are cheap and reliable enough for clear liquids, or you can check online for your local water reports. The ph and dissolved solids info should be there, as well as what is used to chlorinate if applicable. Even if you're using wellwater, they should still have local water quality reports available.

What feeding schedule are you using? The FF bottles are marked for stand-alone dosages, I believe. Their online Weekly Feeding Schedule is solid, and I keep copies in each growroom. (I have them memorized and usuallt I no longer need 'em, but I never know when my next brain fart will occur)
Grow Big and Tiger Bloom have all the micronutes you'll need for a while, and Superthrive is garbage.
Big Bloom is a catalyst tea made to compliment both of the other two nutrients.
Fox Farms Weekly Feeding Schedule
The soluables listed are ultra strong. If you do use 'em, start with 1/4 doses.

Your light is too far from the plant. The usable light from your CFL and fluoro tubes only extends about 6 inches, max. This makes reflectors virtually unhelpful. If the reflector get's in the way of the air circulation, I'd make some changes.

The bigger the pot, the longer it retains moisture. (water)

Potting soil has a big advantage over compost. Mainly in the ph buffering and nutrient content.

I'd check the lighting section to get a handle on your color temp of the bulbs. Using the appropriate bulbs promotes healthy growth.
