Hey guys,Noob grower here!! been having few problems lately during flower! Bout 4-5 weeks flower! using cfls! would get into alot more detail but the plant is worrying me atm! :( heating issues,temp,and grow box size! not to mention i think my reservoir might be undersized aswell now! :S Wondering why some of my fan leaves are drying up and dying? And why arnt my flowers getting any larger? :( will they get any larger? is my lighting too close? do i need to rise it for her to grow and expand? would adding more lighting in there at this point make a difference! as same with moving her into another box? any help and advise i would love and appreciate! as i do not know everything yet? still in that learning phase! would really love to see my buds get a little more bigger and dense, why are the fan leafs dying? are they showing signs of harvest? peace! I also appreciate it when people recommend me to do this and that! cheers how does she look? whats wrong with her? how do i get her buds little bigger and more dense! how much more will she grow? thanks!

looks like maybe its been burned from over feeding? what nutrients are you using and what doses? i would flush the soil with ph adjusted clean water.
 
you need to give us more info like what are the day and night temps in the box?what are you feeding them and how strong?are you using some kind of meters to check you nute strength and ph of your water?what kind of water,tap,well,r/o?looks likie they are cooking from too much heat to me.but maybe you are spraying them with something.do you have a bunch of those no pest stripes in there?what size is the box and how many lights/what kind.the flowers dont look that bad compared to the fan leaves but they should be getting bigger still.
 
Kk,well the height of the box is around 21.5 inches,Width is about 14".
The temp during the day is around 25oC -26 (fews days back and it was reaching 31-32oC,so i removed my reflective hood!)
PH is usually 5.5 - 5.6,tested with a digi ph meter.
I dont have a digi ppm meter to check the ppms. just a aquarium nitrate etc tester!


Lighting running atm is CFL 1x 45w 6400k
1x20w 4100k cool
1x23w 2100k
1x20w warm
i also have different types,as i cannot add anymore without it overheating in that small space!


Been feeding her some own advance mixes, since the named ones seem to give me trouble!

calcium nitrate = 2g
potassium nitrate = .7g
sulfate of potash = .4.25g
mono potassium phosphate = .4g
magnesium sulfate = .6g

using an aquarium mix for micros called dinosaur pee

all this is to 1 Litre of tap water!! mixed for a hour and into the reservoir!
(is that too much for her? should she be on just water?)

is there anything i can use as a homemade foliage spray?

she is almost growing into some of the lighting,was wondering if it will continue to grow into it!
the growth speed has slowed down rapidly i must admit! and kinda freaked out!
:(

have another taller box on the sideline just incase! but not sure if it is worth it atm shocking the plant or anything etc!
please help!

Are the lights touching the plants? The hard brown looks like contact burn.

Nuh she wasnt! maybe earlier on for a few minutes, but not long enough for that damage!
they roots seem to be getting to large for my reservoir! not sure if that makes a difference?
