Very young LR2, crispy yellow leaves. PICS

so im growing three Lowryder 2 plants... one of which is about 2 weeks old. the others about a week. what is wrong with this plant? the 2 week old one could it be a deficiency already? too dry? too hot? fungus? i HAVE NO IDEA. ANY suggestion i will appreciate.... They are under 5 26W CFL lights. 3 6500K, and 2 2700K. i planted in to a peat pellet. it is now in a peat pot with cheap soil. the other two plants are badly fucked up so i am just trying to save atleast one.


Pic1- You can see in this picture kind of a different color green on the leaf... This part is completely dried out and crispy.

pic2- you can see the yellowing. the bottom leaves where it has already turned brown. and the upper leaves where it is starting to turn yelllow and dry out.

pic3- is of the worst condition leaf.

pic4- you can see the deformed leaf... and where the leaf has completely dried out and crumbled off...

The ridges on the leaves say its too hot/close to light. And the that looks like a nute burn to boot.

ya thats what i thought at first... however the "burns" appeared before the use of any nutes. the plant was slightly burned by th light but i dont think thats what caused this because the new growth on the plant has brown tips. the only nutes ive given her are a little vitiman b-1.

PH problem?

That would be the direction I would look into now.

Looks and sounds like a potassium deficiency could be wrong though

I know this might be alot of info, but maybe it can help. It's pretty indepth.

Considering i dont have a ph meter im willing to bet that is the problem. I have been watering with distilled water, i read a lot online and everyone seemed to agree the ph of distilled h2o was neutral... 7.0 i know that is a little alkaline but do yo think it is enough to cause this damage? either way ill buy some kind of ph testing kit tomorrow. and test the soil.could be the cause of my other plants not growing which were planted directly in the soil... Thanks everybody

I tested the PH, with a Rapitest soil test... like this one ..... like 6 bucks. its good for N-P-K too. i haven't done those yet. anyway it came out neutral, maybe slightly acidic. i think i may have burned the leaves with my hps cuz the new growth looks ok now that i havent been using it... but the lower leaves still looks wierd... could it have been some kind of fungus or something.??? i think it was some kind of deficiency.
