Tips of lower fan leaves browning!

Hey People,

My plant has been growing for about 2 months now and im starting to transition it from vegetation to flowering and over the past week ive noticed that some of the the smaller inner leaves are wilting and dying but more importantly, the larger fan leaves from the bottom to about 2/3 of the way up are all turning brown. The top of the plant does not seem to be affected. All the browning is taking place at the tips of the fan leaves and working their way inward. It starts as pale yellow spotting but almost immediately turns to brown and curling. Pretty much been using Fox farms ocean for its whole life up until i up-potted it to a 10 gallon container where i used mostly fox farms until i ran out so i topped it off with this black and gold bag of miracle grow organic. also i purchased fox farms big bloom liquid and have only used it once. Im using 3 CFLs as the lights. this is my first grow and gone so well up until now. any advice or help will be appreciated so much.

The height of plant is a bit much for environment, if you just flipped I’m not sure you accounted for the stretch. In addition, your lighting is a poor choice for such a tall plant. No way lower 2/3 will receive the amount needed. I suspect this low light level has something to do with the lower leaves deteriorating. Its obvious you can grow cannabis, you simply need to step up with better lighting .

Thanks for the reply. Is there anything you would recommend to fix this?

I find that successful grows indoors are about creating a uniform canopy. That maximizes the number of flowering tops exposed to sufficient light levels to grow dank flowers. Plant training is a valuable tool so do some research on that.
Second real challenge I see in your grow is lack of light. You may be able to provide enough intensity for the top colas but everything else will be larf. Focus on getting these tops finished and then try some training and better lights next time.

So the Browning looks like nute burn or a pH issue. I'd guess it's from the miracle grow but some people use that stuff without issue.

But you have bigger problems ahead my friend. That lanky bastard is gonna touch the ceiling by the time it's done stretching. Plants can double in size (or more) in flower. You don't have nearly enough light or space for that.

Also, it looks like this plant is in a bedroom. How were you going to put it in complete darkness for 12 hours a day? And when I say complete, I hope you realize I mean COMPLETE. No light leaks at all. Otherwise it can hermie and go all seedy on ya or just never start flowering at all.
