I have two plants, both having the same issues. They are 14 days old with drooping leaves that appear papery and dry. On day 14 in the morning, one of the plants appears to have developed burnt tips on new leaves. No nutes have been given; it was only given one cup of water the night before. The water schedule is about every 3-4 days, watering around the stem. This morning I have water misted both plants to increase humidity in the grow tent.

>miracle grow enriched perlite

Try to use plain perlite next time

Raise or turn down the lights until you diagnose the issue

They look dry, are you just watering around the plant, or the whole bag?

Thanks for the reply! I realize I messed up there with the miracle grow perlite, won't do that again. I have adjusted the light to 25% just before reading your reply thinking this must be a light issue. I am only watering around the plant and when I dig down a few inches it's still moist.

I could see that in your picture, and that's quite possibly your problem

time to start watering the WHOLE growbag

the plant wants to spread its roots out and where you're just putting water around the base of it, you're restricting the plant's growth.
