just moved my plant under my new 125W cfl i got on the side of it (youll understand if u seee my pics) and i got another 30W , directly above it ..

im afriad i may have burnt it ad the top small leaves have a blackish edge? isit burnt ? ... i got my cfls 2+ inches away maybe 3in... ? i dont see how they can be burning...

my plant has got pale green leaves and it looked slightly yellow on the edge what is this and how do i fix it and make it a strong bright green..?

i use water mixed with baby bio , growing in soil. PH7 ...

my tallest plant was seriously streched and i was abit heavy handed and basicly snapped the stem i proped it back up but the leaves are now dropping alot will it sort out ? :dunce:

The one on the top looks further away then 2-3 inches.... I would also reverse your setup, put the stronger one, up top and the weaker one on the side, I wouldn't even use the side one for another few weeks, I would have them both above for now until the leaves become big enough to start blocking the light to lower foliage

Btw color of plant looks normal and healthy, just a little stretch, which can be resolved by what I said, and you can also Bury the stem with dirt up to about an inch of the first leaves, to correct it.

last time I checked plants like to grow up and towards light. again.. side is good for flowering and later stages of growth to promote stretch and light to lower foliage, from what I understand.
