extreme foliar burn

ok so I am a first time grower and i tried this 3 in 1 foliar spray to protect against insects, mold, and mites, its called Safer Brand, for organic growing . I made the mistake of applying it with the lights on and needless to say, the results were horrid to say the least. I then proceeded to clean the stuff off of the leaves with two damp sponges, using one on the underside of the leaves for support while i gently rubbed off the spray from the top of the leaves. Once again with the lights on, it was a horrible mistake and I do not know what to do to overcome this problem. I am quite worried that my girls will die. I am in the third week of the vegetative state, and I am using flourescent lights, low powered 13 watts a bulb got one bulb over each girl. I have them suspended about 6 inches above them at all times i know that it is not too close but is it too far?? i recently introduced nutes. first gave them pura vida grow, then also added pura vida bloom as instructed on the back of the bottles,i started them with the one part formula to get them used to the nutes and then increased it to the two part formula for an aggressive growth. I give them ph balanced water, and for the nutes I only give them to the girls once every third irrigation, as directed on the bottle. I am sure the burn is due to my actions and not nute burn, the leaves are very yellowed, curled, brown, and some dead looking. Hopefully you can help me come up with a solution to my delimma. My light cycle is 20/4 as of now and i will contunue to decrease as noted,18/6,14/10, and finally 12/12 for the flowering state. I am open to all comments and suggestions, so please help me out. I have tried to post pictures but it says that a security token was missing, what does that mean?? please get back to me on this as well so that I can post up some pictures so you guys can see the damage that has been done.

Hey and welcome to RIU
how about posting some pics of your damage man.
Also that small of a light will NOT burn your plants, also 6 inches is way too far
need to get the lights down to 2-4 inches, more than that and it's pretty much being wasted.

Anyhow post some pics, lets see what ya got goin

Again welcome to riu,
the security thing i have no clue id try and get ahold of a moderator to get that resolved you can find them on the bottom of the forums list.
And pics do really speak alot is this case.
First of all never give the bottles recomended dose, The products that we use are sometimes not made espeacily for cannibis, and thare for most plants tolerate the products better . Cannibis can be sensitive to nutes, in the future i would only give your plants 1/4 dose untill you know how the product works. I personaly along with not useing that foilliur spray any longer, again not for cannibis. I would flush your plants very well, as long as your not over watering now, a flush will not harm your plants or cause stress. Flush your plants in the tub fill your tub with water enough to go about half way up the pot, ph the water can be difficult and use a bit of ph up/down but the resault's will be good in most cases. Push the pot down slow and let the water seep up threw the soil onces you see that the water is starting to accumulate on the top of the soil pull the pot outa the water or drain your tub, or use two gallons of phed water per gal.of soil. the tub method works great for me. THis will flush out the overly abondent nutes / salt build up.
I also noticed that you never said if you had a bug poblem or not ???
And even in that case thats not the correct product for this. I dont have many bug problems and also use organic remodies so i dont know what to suggest to you for that.
The light that your useing would be almost impossible to light burn the plants, unless directly touching the plant. and trithfull not enough light to resonably support the plant. if you can use some cfls with what you already have. you shold notice a big growth spert. The times whare you need to worrie about the light burn is with hid lighting like hps, mh, natural sunlight.
I cant give you a deffanate on what you should do untill pics are shown.
But i would deffantly flush the hell outa that plant, It sounds like you over fertalized to me.
peace and good luck

Ohh security token means you waited too long to post, you only have so many mins before a thread page times out and you have to refresh it, otherwise you get that error.

ok thanks guys for the help, and I have tried on numerous occasions to post up pictures, but the problem has subsided, I am sure it was the foliar spray, i have kept my nutes the same and monitored them well, havent flushed the soil, and everything is going great, their startin to stink!!!!!

Yeah no need to foliar spray anyways, if you use nutes in it they need to be about 1/8 strength.

Also it's not hard to upload pictures Im not sure about your deal on that, so if you need help later you need to post pictures for better help.

Take care happy growin.
