This is my second grow attempt as I failed the last one, but I'll never give up! Here's some pictures of it so far, she's in a plastic storage box that has black tape around the outside for light leakage and lined with reflective material (under floor insulation lol). The fan and lights are fixed to the lid, I'll take some closer pics later on.

shes a little yellow however and has some rusty spots on her from what i belive to be low humidity but im not too sure, the holes in the other leaf is from contact with a very hot CFL in the early stages of growth. for the yellowing however ill take any suggestions, as well as modifications to make my grow box better, im waiting on reflective tape im just too baked to go and get it. hope this all makes sense too im quite high right now tbh...

Thanks, yea will do, Im not even sure of the exact humidity but I'm presuming its low from how quickly the soil dries out.

If anyone has any suggestions as to why her green is fading away I'd greatly appreciate that lol, it appears to have gotten better but I'll take a picture in the morning and you can see for yourselves, thanks in advance 420magazine community I didn't have enough time to write before but I've already learned so much from the forums already and it seems like the more I learn, the more I realise I don't know. Mumma never raised no quitters though.

Hows everything goin? I think ya might need to start addin a lil bit of food to that lil chick. Im not familiar with your soil tho.. And them degardable starter pots tend to dry up really fast.. Havent seen ya in a few days, but if possible and shes still kickin id transplant. Something more capable of retaining some soil moisture.

Are you checking the pH of your water..if not you could be locking out nutrients and you would never know..just because it's there doesn't mean she will use it..you ph for soil should be around 6.3 to 6.7...I run mine at 6.5
