Glad to see you're going CFL for your grow man. Temps are easier to control I think. Just make sure you use plenty of them for nice tight buds! I've got 18 100 W - 150 W bulbs on them now. Going to go to 20 bulbs after Halloween when I'm done using a couple of my clamp lights for props.

You should cut off any brown leaves. This will allow your plant to focus all of it's energy into new healthy growth.
A good source of magnesium can be obtained from molasses. It also contains Iron, Calcium, Vitamin B, Carbs as well as potassium. Check out the label on this bottle of molasses I purchased at the grocery store in the baking area.:bigjoint:Molasses is safe to use in veg I use 2 tsp in veg and 1 tbsp in flower per gallon.

I just had an issue pop up on one of 2 of my girls, i'm doing CFL, and LOOKS like MAG Deff to me, however i know it's not. I will be posting a pic. This happened 2 days after over fert. Do you have a pic of your plant's issues?

Yea I figured the issue out. I had been boilingmy water, and letting it cool to water my plants, but my water is very hard, and boiling it made the calcium concentration well over 200ppm. This caused a Mg lockout due to PH being too low. TAAAA DAAAA!!!! How ya like me now?! LOL i'm baked, but feel like a genious for figuring it out. I have flushed 3 times with distilled water and the plants are bouncing back real quick.

Come check it out on MY conslolidated thread for Micro,Stealth And CFL grows.
