Hey guys. I´m a first time grower and i´m using cfls. everything has been fine, till now the first week of flowering, when just over night my top leaves started growing wierd. dont know how to explain so I took some pics. happy for all the help i can get. dont want to loose my beauty :)

Indoor grow, just over 8000 lumens, 25-26 celcius 10 liter pot using soil.

give it quarter nutes for a few feeds, then half nutes, then up to full.
don`t do full nutes right away.

I would say some sort of insect. Heat problems as you have holes in the leaves but your using cfls.they look little over fed by the tips going brown. Just my opinion mate

the new growth at the top is the only place thats has been "attacked", and yes i had some temp issues cause the lights were too close. the lights have been replaced and a fan is running at all time. the nutritions i started with 5 ml/3 liter 1 day and worked my way up. the plant drinks abt the 3 liter/day.

if anyone knows anything abt these insects and how i can prevent it, please dont be shy. all help is appreciated :)

ps. what do you guys/girls think about the plant in overall. I trimmed most of the fan leaves when in veg. I know i´m not supposed to smoke them, but i did anyways. Gave me a wierd buzz, just felt kinda slow.

Last night I checked all the leaves with magnifier, spotted 2 or 3 tiny black dots and some whitish so I decided to spray my whole plant with water to wash off any crap that might be there and as a result this morning, she looked much healthier and had a boost in growth. :)

Just keep them maybe 2-3 inches above the canopy...

The best way to get the hang of it is put the back of your hand under you lights and if it doesn't hurt you, it wont hurt the plant.

Basic

Thx bro, I´ll keep that in mind. :)
I´v got three 23W 2700K above the canopy plus one 23W 2700K & two 13W 6400K on either side of the plant. Would you say that its better to move those up over the plant as well?
