Maybe you know what's going on

She is about 2.5 weeks old now. The dead leaf on the right side was from light burn about a week ago. It had been doing just fine, but the past couple days, she looks like she is going downhill. Here is the layout

Soil: Super cheap top soil, nothing added but 30% or so vermiculite
Water: Distilled, with barely barely any superthrive added
Temp: Right around 75
PH: Right around 6.5
Nutes: None
Lights: Crapload of Daylights cfls, couple warm ones in there.

Notice the yellowing, curling up leave. Today I noticed the brown spots (probably just light burn, from drops on the leaves) but yellowing appears to be beginning at the end of the 3 prong leaf.

It's Afghan Kush, 100% indica. Don't know if these babies require warmer temps, or something isn't right. Think ferts should be added already ? Watering schedule is about once a week.

Stop adding fertilizer. They can't take them that young.

Thats my opinion anyway.

I don't know where you got the idea that i'm adding fertilizer? It says nutes: none right up there.

I do not believe superthrive is considered a fertilizer. It is suppose to be added in addition to fertilizer, but it just contains vitamins b, and some plant hormones to get things going. It is also generally understood to be used from seed to the beginning of flowering. It is super concentrated though, so you must only use a drop or so per gallon. I am doing that part right..

If anyone knows, or has any guesses what's going on with the plant, please let me know!

Oh, sorry about that mate.

The only thing I can think of is possibly heat stress.

Maybe too many lights. I used 7 26W CFL's and my plants do not look healthy. I stopped using my Super Thrive as they didn't seem to have much effect. Now I have 2/3 Lights on and they have at least stop getting worse. I hope to turn most of them around. I read another poster who told me that he had the same problem from using too much light too soon and ended up cutting back to 2 bulbs and was able to save one of his plants.

Good luck
