3wk auto having problems....

First time poster and obviously noob at this. Been reading this forum and researching for almost 2 months now. The following is some info to help you diagnose my problem. My grow cab is roughly 2ft deep, 3ft wide, 4 ft high. Inside is lined with reflective mylar, 4 cfl's from a bathroom fixture, 1 120 mm fan venting out, with another small 6" fan inside blowing air up. Plant went from soaking in a shot glass, straight into FF Ocean soil in a 3 gal pot. Been watering it everytime the soil feels "dry" about 2 inches down(using distilled water). My problem is the last week has seen the exterior edges of the leaves turn yellow. Some of the smaller leaves are canoeing downwards and the tips are turning brown. The plant seems healthy, and the leaves didn't feel super dry or anything. I currently haven't used any nutes, and am wondering if this is a watering problem? heat problem? humidity problem? Sorry about no pictures, I may put some up later. Not too much I can do about the heat because I plan on leaving it in the garage until completion. Thanks in advance.

Here is a pic. ANy suggestions?

maybe the FFOF burning it a little... OF is a hot soil and some autos don't take lots of nutes very well... low light(4cfl)+ hot soil = nute burn
hope fully it will grow out of it soon for you..

Thanks for the reply Scyntra. Would running another light in there help any to overcome the possible burn?

looks like burn. just leave it be and let the plant adjust to the stress she will be fine.

I appreciate the response fella's. Gonna keep an eye on her and hope for the best.

just keep an eye on the new growth. as it gets used to the soil you will see the new growth look green and healthy

Its going just as you called farmer. Should i remove the more damaged leaves or let her keep on keeping on.

if there less than 50% damaged, leave them. if more than 50%, cut em off. from your pics they dont look that bad but i understand wanting to cut off the ugly shit as its a eye sore. i say leave em and let her grow healthy and strong. next time just start in light warrior or pro mix then transplant. i know people say dont transplant autos but if you transplant them to there final home before they show pre flowers or immediately when they do show, you will be fine. thats how i do it. i grow them in 18oz solo cups until they show sex,between 14-22 days, and then transplant so i dont waste soil on males, but thats the pinkbud strain i grow.

I haven't touched them yet. Most of the effected stuff is towards the bottom and hasn't really grown since yellowing. I've had some good new growth that looks nice and healthy so that is reassuring. For now I am keeping it as simple as possible, added 1 more cfl a few days ago and seems to have helped. Looking to go 6 soon as long as temps stay down. Did run a wire to bend the stalk slightly to get her going a little sideways.

Once again Farmer, thanks for the help.
