Alright so i recently moved my plant inside because it wasnt getting enough light and its green leaves were becoming pale and the tips yellowed. I have a regular 60 watt bulb and a 14watt cfl about 2 inches from the plant. The leaves are now even more yellow and are beginning to shrivel

The plant is on a 18/6 schedule and its in a closet but i dont know the exact temp that the closet goes up to which may be the problem because the closet can get very hot. I have an ac in the other room tho keeping it cool tho...

Here are some pics, their from my phone so their not that good, and tell me if u need more...

when you say reg 60 watt bulb is it just incandescent if so its not doing anything for you except heating up the space ,the light spectrum is not in a range the plant uses

looks like a pH problem, the heat can add to it, but if it started outside then persisted and got worse inside then it probably is not the lights. However, if you change light cycles abruptly like you did, by taking it outside then inside then that may cause some shit also.

They are hungry. Make sure your ph hovers at 6.5 and feed them a grow nutrient. They should be fine once they eat.

its prolly nute locked my tap water is above 8. b4 i got a hannah combo meter i used water from walmart the ph was around 6 with only one plant a couple gallons will last a good while its like .75 cents a gallon so its an option
be careful feeding with unknown ph i fried my plants like that b4 they were nute locked and i was like they need n and burnt them they had plenty.
get a general hydroponics ph starter kit its less than $20 and has a lil vile and ph test solution' and bottles of up and down+a sweet 1mil dropper i also use for nutes.
hope this helps, it would of helped me a year ago
