Hey everyone.
I know this is probably posted all over the place, but the pictures on here don't work for me for some reason.
Anyways, I am totally new to this so any help is appreciated.
I just received a small clone from a friend about 4-5 days ago, and it doesn't seem to be doing so well :/
When I first got it, the bottom leaves were yellowing and said friend told me it was from the stress of growing new roots after being cut off from the mother plant.
It's been 4-5 days now, I've moved it to its permanent container and it doesn't look like it's improving. Leaves are turning yellow working their way up from the bottom and the top leaves are very droopy. The first day I had them, my dogs knocked the enclosure and the hanging lights got too close (actually touching) and burned off one of the leaves. She is under 4 6500k CFLs that hang about 2-3 inches away from the top. The soil is Miracle Grow Orchid potting mix, mixed with lime to lower the acidity, with added nutes such as fish emulsion and bone meal. I've been watering her about once every other day with bottled spring water. The temps in the grow area consistently stay between 78-85 degrees Fahrenheit, with a light cycle of 18/6. I open it pretty often, so the air circulation isn't an issue.
Am I doing anything wrong? What can I do to improve her with out spending a lot more money?
HELP!
