Hi, so I'm just starting out my second grow, and I moved my plants into my new tent, they've been there about a week, and now they're all dying, I water them and let them dry out so I don't think they're overwatered. Is it something to do with the tent?? Too much light?? Lights not close enough? Oh yeah the temp sits right around 80 with 60% humidity

I had a similar issue last grow that turned out to be nuts burn, so at first I scaled back nutes, I waited a week until the leaves started getting light, and fed them again on friday, at this point it's been so long I've decided to ask for help

Don't feed babies.

Soil is the same mix I used last time 1/3 miracle grow garden soil, half top, and the remainder is part vermiculite and part fox farms organic, I started them under some 100 watt fluorescents, they're now under my 600 watt mh, hanging 3' above them so they don't fry

Feeding was just some synthetic nutes and 1/4 strength, but it does kind of resemble nute burn

Hi i wouldnt feed them anything for at least another 2 weeks, your soil has enough nutes in for that time if not longer. Plus what you have fed them allready will still be in the soil. Let them dry out for a week before you give a light watering. Take a look at my babies i havnt fed them and they are 4 weeks from seed and very healthy, gl and i hope they pull through for you.

Thanks guys, so basically it's overnute/overwatering?

Over feeding prolly more than anything, leaf tips curling and crisping. Also you want to avoid stretch and having the 600w 3 feet away is too much. Use the CFL for another week or 2 at 6 inches away, then the 600w at 2 feet away and lower it every couple of days until 12-18 inches away.

Yep. You wont need much nutes with the Fox Farms. You aren't getting the most from your lights. I have a 600HPS about 7 to 8" above my girls. Theres a fan right on them, and I keep the room cold. The air temp at the canopy is about 75 to 80.

Move the underside of your forearm towards the light until it feels too hot, you want it to feel like a nice summer sunbeam. Put your plants at that level.
