Wow, I don't know if that's salvagable, but you gotta back that bulb off. You said flood lights? What kind of bulbs are you using exactly? And is this 12/12 from seed?

Flood lights are no good for weed, they do not give off usable light. Also, weed doesnt grow super fast under cfls unless you have alot of them. Definitely back the light off, and if it were my plant, I would actually put it into a clone situation, very low light - maybe put the cfls about 12 inches above, heat at the bottom(if possible), and a humidity dome on top. Mist the dome with water a couple times a day, do not spray the plant she will absorb the moisture from the air in the dome. I can't tell her size for sure, but I use things like 2 liter bottles with the tops cut off for the dome, see through party cups, anything that you can find that is see through and also big enough will work. The plant will better be able to heal itself right now if its not spending so much time trying to process the light bombarding it. Some others will probably tell you its a lost cause but I never give up on my girls til they actually die. Many of my newb mistakes were corrected treating them like clones, and I saved many plants that would otherwise be deemed lost causes.

Move the light a few inches away, and give it a week or two to recover.

By the way you cant have a 12/12 photoperiod on a plant that young. If you are starting from seed you need to veg for at least 4 weeks so the plant can reach sexual maturity. THEN you can flower. You can flower clones that size but not seedlings.

The reptile pad will probably be fine, how hot does it get? I use an electric blanket to keep my clones warm, is it hotter than that? Don't want it to be too warm because she'll just get fried from the bottom instead. As far as the cloning situation, what specific questions do you have? I will answer them if I can.

It doesnt get to hot it just warms up enough I think if I were to put my plant with the warmer I would have to change her from the bucket ? The bucket it's about a foot tall and I also got green house moisteriser would that help?

All I have to go on is your pictures, and based on those, you burned that poor baby to death. If it is possible to revibe that plant, I will be tagging along to see what happens and how you do it. Learn from what people are telling you so that this does not happen next time. Hang in there

I just put my buckets right on the blanket most of the time, it will warm all the soil, if you're worried about the moisture seeping through to the pad, put a plastic bag or something between the pot and the pad. I'm not sure about the moisturizer, is it a foliar spray? Are there nutes in it? I'm not familiar with the product. Heres an example of what I'm talking about, any way you can set something like this up so the plant is enclosed in a humid environment will work. This is my girl Opie, I almost killed her the other day I won't even go into what happened. Shes 8 inches tall. I got my bucket on a tray thats on top of my electric blanket. taped plastic poles around the pot, wrapped it in plastic wrap, then put a separate piece of platic on top. I open it and spray the plastic on all sides whenever the plastic dries out. I do spray her occasionally. She is starting to recover today. Its totally ghetto but it works. And btw, I'm a girl ;)

Nice girl bro . So u think I should put the reptile pat and put a towel or shirt and put my bucket on top ? And cover my girl up on a bag like yours? And that should do bro ?

Nope I don't, not much into that. I'll just watch for a message here, maybe you'll pop back in someday. If you can pm people here yet, you could just do that.

It being a waste of time is up to the OP. Thats his baby, if he wants to try and save her theres nothing wrong with that.
