This ones only 3 weeks old. i have it under two 27W Cfl's in some organic soil and all im giving it is distilled water. But the area i have it in doesnt have great ventalation i open it multiple times daily to let fresh air in and let the old air cycle out. its growing at a pretty good rate the leaves just seem to be yellowing at the ends a bit. Any ideas?

Looks pretty good to me. The yellow tips don't look too bad, in fact I can only see one spot in that pic. Could be the soil has too much fert, or ph of that distilled water is off? Unless it gets worse, I wouldn't stress about it too much

Cool thanks,
My guess is its either the ph or ventalation i thought distilled water wouldnt really give me any problems but maybe i was wrong.

I don't grow in soil so I don't know the recommended ph level, but im starting to think the ph on the water is off. Have you tested the ph before watering?

Ph levels in distiller water runs low anywhere from 4.4-5.5!! Ph is definitely your problem if you haven't ph upped your water!! Suggest getting a ph meter they run about $30!!!
