if they are pistols they will grow out of a oval shaped pod, or it could be abnormal growth which ive seen in my plants a few. all u can do is wait

RH is either 30 or 55 depending on which meter i go by with door closed and humidifier all the way up to high.Weird thing is the other is fine with all variables identical ,what do you think?
The only thing i can think of is after the morning FF i put it under the lights too soon,is it possible for a water puddle on that one leaf to burn it with T5s? I wouldent think so.

Also will I need ferts or anything like that now with the differnt soil? and if so what?

Here's what It looks like so far, And don't worry the light on the floor is just temporary till I get another lamp thing.

if the bag of soil says feeds for # of months or has a N-P-K ratio on it, no good, timed released fert are bad news.

Yeah the light is about 2-3" above. And I have no idea about the soil, would it say right on the bag?

... here is a picture of it.

And thanks A LOT again. You've been a great help

is this the plant that had curled leaf blades? yes they can, its not the heat that burns them, its the light (4000-8000 lumen) being magnified by the water drop, like we did as kids w/ a mag glass & melting out G I Joes

that soil has timed released fert in it, both chemical & organic. it might be ok, but if u havent opened the bag, take it back & get organic soil. MG organic will do, but buy some perlite & mix it in w/ the soil @ a 25% ratio, 3 parts soil 1 part perlite.
