havin some trouble

[311junkie]

hey, just started a new sprout.
i have it under one of those energy efficient cool white flourescent bulbs, the one i have gives off 2000 lumens. i keep the light about 2-3 inches away and have a fan on it to a) keep the heat off of it and b) give it a strong stem when it comes time to transplant it into the ground.

the problem is that the first two little leaves are turning brown at the tip and are drying out. has this happend to anyone before? what can i do to stop it. will it be ok?

thanks for any tips or personal experience you can offer.
peace, smoke on

The first little leaves the plant first develops, die naturally after a new shoot is established. if new leaves havent sprouted, move the light away little bit more! see ya , post me back!

its not those first two round leaves, its the first set of rigid ones, they are half dead now. also the second set of new rigid leaves is starting to do the same thing. they looked good for a while but now the tips are turning brown. pics to come later.

Heat stress or over watering or nutrient burn.

Good Growing!
