Well if it’s not heat and or humidity maybe overwatering? How much do you water? How often do you water?

I’ve had that exact light as close as 14 inches from my ladies with no issues. It doesn’t really put out much heat.

I’m new also but what I have experienced here is…we all learn and grow together. I did a lot of research before I purchased my first tent. I do like my tent I just wish it was easier to enter and exit the tent. I am currently running the castle greens 4x4 tent and in my opinion it is a solid tent

Here’s a list that a much more experiaced grower made, @Nicky he likes hydro but these are basics & it’s a lot of info Don’t buy a spider a farmer give me a minute I can help you explain there are cheaper more efficient higher quality lights on the market. Spider farmer is overpriced.

Now you’ll need a light yes, a spider farm is fine don’t get me wrong but they are over priced Chinese sub par quality marketed in North America heavily.
If you want the best and you don’t want to worry about any issues you want a HLG, horticulture lighting group. The size you want is a 320xl Rspec for that tent, so simply typing in “HLG 320xl Rspec” in google will bring you there.
Now if your worried about the cost then you can get the Chinese knockoff that is still better then a spider farmer and it’s cheaper.
You’ll have to go to Alibaba for this and buy one from kingbright, to do this google “320xl kingbrite” click the first link, then click on the categories section once the page loads and go down to the spot that reads “QB288 board 320” then click “LM301B + Epistar 660nm” then click one their all the same. Now when you send your enquiry ensure your getting the 3500k it’s the best from seed to harvest. It’s more work but it’s about half the price.
These boards are more efficient than spider farmers and cost less for what your getting.
As for medium and pots as well as nutrients that’s a person choice.
I strongly recommend you go to autopot USA and buy a 2 or a 4 “Spring pot system” and grow in coco/perlite mix.
Growing in soil is slow, less yeilds more chances for bugs, stunting stress, it’s more work you’ll need to read the run off etc it’s just alot more hassle for less gains really. The joy of the garden is in the garden watching your plants grow and training them not battling with slow growth and soil issues or bugs.
Any quality nutrient can be used but again the cheapest best mix is Jack’s 321. It’s a 3 part dry nutrient that is very easy to mix.
Google Jack’s nutrients, buy a bag of part A, part B and magnesium sulfate can be found anywhere (Epson salts) jsut don’t use any smelly stuff.
Any questions feel free to ask, I hope you can respect the amount of time and effort I put into this reply for you. I can’t link you to the other sites only amazon sale links are allowed due to forum rules.

Your post is a good one an I’m not comfortable enough to give advise much. I’m afraid I’ll screw somebody’s grow up or they might buy something that they don’t need or really isn’t quality. Money is tight for alot of people right now. Thanks for taking the time to make that post. (I did tag it for future reference)

you know, i’m a little suspicious about the last time i water her, instead of feeding her from the top i poured half gallon of water with Nuts in a bigger bucket and set my plant in that water. I did this because i saw that i was affecting leaves all the way at the bottom creating yellow spots so to avoid that i did what i did but i let her took the first quantity of water then i poured a lil more until i carried her again and felt it was heavy enough. When i felt it heavy i placed it on a rack to let the extra water run out. I didn’t feel the soil getting super soak i know i was paying attention but maybe she drank more than enough water lol… I see that today she has gotten a lil better. I move my light 7” higher and i’m pretty exited cause im buying my first Tent ever! 
Do you think this little inconvenient is gonna affect drastically my buds? I wanna finish growing this plant to the end and do it better in my next one!
