Help, brown tips

Skunk automatic, lights: 65 Watt, 4300lm, 3600K, temp in closet: 28°C.
Before, I had it in a box with foil the temp was 35°C, is this overheating problem ? How can I fix it ?

Anyone ? I need help

Yes you have heat stressed the shit out of that sucker... 35 is way too high, 30 is too high... 28 is okay but don't let things get much higher. Also unless you just watered for the first time in a couple days you're probably over watering too.

Let it dry out back off the light a bit and hope for the best.

Thanks. Do you think she will be ok ?

Is that dirt from your yard?

No. I bought at home base

is it to bad ? :s

def heat stress, make sure it isn't real humid in there either. get a fan to circulate the air in there

I have a fan there. But before the plant was in a box with foil, I bet thats it.
Will it be fine now ? Temp 26C - 28C

Wrong my friend. Seedlings do best in a humid environment 70%-80%.

Time will tell. Most likely it will within a few days to a week. Try to avoid excessive spraying of the plant as this will eventually clog the stomata and slow/halt transpiratation. Also as state above, stop watering. Let the mix dry out mostly, cannabis hates to be overly wet, but very much love light airy soil that holds moisture well but has excellent drainage. With heavy soil the roots drown when watered excessively and not allowed to dry out some. water takes dissolve air with it when it leeches through the soil. If you water too often you cant get the 02 all the way in, and only the top inch or 2 as been oxygenated the remaining water oversaturates. Also plant cant take in nutrients in soggy soil.

yes your temp is good. And the foil was most likley not the culprit. It was the heat.

Thanks. I was talking about the foil because it keeps the heat from the lamp

Time will def tell, things don't look great though. either way just learn from this for the future. I think you've definitely shown that you have much to read, you can't just put a pot of soil in your closet with a light and get results. You have much information to sift through, you need to learn about this plant as much as you need to look into grow room setup. Without all the proper info you will just run into deficiency after deficiency, and probably have a rough first flower...

I started the same way, found bag seed in a good bag and they went into my window sill. After thoroughly ruining one of those I started doing research everyday after work. My girl was mad at how I never wanted to talk because I was busy reading... If I were to start from scratch I know I'd start with a month or 2 of research, and I suggest this for all looking to start. It's not cheap setting up even a cheap operation... I wasted money and time trying to set up a cheap cfl grow, wrong bulbs, short cords, no place to hang them. Eventually I said enough's enough, I've spent my time and money on this and I'm no where. So I bought a proper ballast and bulbs, 4x4x6.5 tent, blower fan with a carbon filter, and all the other odds and ends. Wasn't cheap but it was worth it, no longer fighting my environment for proper conditions. Plus they say loose lips sink ships, well stinky closets are up there too in my opinion...

I would toss it and start fresh =)

I'm surprised nobody has told you yet to turn that bulb so the side is facing the plant, you'll get more light.

Opinions ? She is 13 days today!
Im adding things to my "grow room" as I buy them or find them.

thanks, I already kinda "invented" something to do that

oh my god what the hell happened to that. get rid of it start fresh, get rid of the foil put some perlite in the soil so it can drain water and make sure your ph of your soil is steady at 6.5-6.8. Foil creates hot spots that burn plants and your soil looks like swamp mud with no drainage my friend. Good Luck With whatever you decide to do.

I will add perlite to this soil and keep this plant anyway
