I got 2 plants under 85w 55k cfl 55w 27k cfl and 3k automotive hid under soil. Pic coming can't upload right now posting from my phone... I'm guessing it mitt be cause one of the hid bulbs broke and I'm guessing the mercury vapors messed up the plant but I have another plant new to it under the cfl has no problems pis will be posted asap

rinse the leaves off as best as you can and do not handle the plant with bare hands. Mercury poisoning is no laughing matter. Your skin will absorb it, as will the plant. Show us those same leaves in a few days so we can follow the issue up if you would please. But yeah, rinse the plant that was showered with shards and mercury.

Think the HID's cars use are Xenon which afaik cant be used for growing cos of incorrect spectrum.

Cannabis can take up ALOT of metals and heavy metals without suffering any ill effects themselves...they are used to clean up spills,disasters,etc like Chernoble.

Picture number three has the look of the early signs of pH lockout problems. The twisting wrinkled leaves are what give me that impression. It might not be, but it does have that look. Check your pH.
