This is my first grow and I really need some help

[ssulaiman]

Hello everyone, I ran into this problem a couple days ago. I really tried to diagnose the problem but I really need your look into this.
I thought it might be lightburn because i hanged the Spiderfarmer SE3000 on recommended hanging height which is 12". I also noticed the plants suffered from the heat but because i now put the light at like 28" I hope this problem is resolved.

But the dark green appearance of the leaves and the yellow and brown spots further down are making me question if it's a deficiency or something else.

I really would appreciate your help.

Side note I sometimes see some tiny black flies fl=ying around my soil, these are probably fungus gnats? but I only see a couple of them

12” is pretty close, 18-24 is a little more forgiving. Watering correctly is important, and will help control fungus gnats. Sticky fly traps are a must imo.

Get yellow gnat traps

Definitely keep the light 18-24". What's your soil mix, what nutes are you giving if any, water source, and what's the temp/humidity of your tent?

Looks like you bounced back pretty nice!
What was it that brought back the nice dark even green color?
