My plant is about a foot tall and i noticed today that the leaves are beggining to curl downward and have yellow tips and edges on some. I am currently growing with CFL's and i spray the plant daily, not water. I am guessing im giving it too much water or the fact i have no fan in my closet...No idea. Pics below.

if you arent using water what are you giving your plant cause if its ferts then it might be nute burn. or maybe just overwatering

good luck on the crop

oh no, when i said not water i meant i dont water it DAILY. i usually spray the plant down (misting) and water like every 3-4 days, im guessing i should just make it a week or something? im using moisture control miracle grow soil.

Yeah, no way it's gone yet, not even close -- still looks like she's got plenty of active tissue up top.

This could be nute burn -- pre-ferted MG soils do this. Alot of plants just pull thru it, no need to start jiggin' around if that's the case.

Other option is pH; has a little look of pH lockout, but that seems less likely given the size of your plant. Are you checking pH? If you're adding extra nutes, that could be a problem, too.. these MG soils don't need anything added for at least a month.

Hey, dude.. I honed in a little closer to your close-up pic and see what look like little copper-brown dots forming? If that's true, I'd say that + the burned tips equals low pH.

What about the copper dots I asked about? If they're not there, you're prob on the right track. If they are, cutting back watering and nutes won't help. That's more likely pH...

oh sorry i missed that, yeah there is no copper dots anywhere and it is strictly just the tips and edges on select leaves, not too much at all, she should be fine.
