The soil i used had nutes in it...time released. I know nitrogen toxicity can cause "slow growth" although i dont see any other symptoms of that yet. Mine started the same...slow growth and then started having other problems later on.
Wait, what?

From what I've read, they don't need nutes for a month. I added after 3 weeks and the same thing happened

While i can't offer advice on why it has stopped growing, maybe in the period where it has stopped growing, go an do some research on growing cannabis. There is no way that you should be giving something that small any doseage of nutes. Unneeded and unwanted.

Same thing happened to me, seedlings don't need nutes at all. Flush it.

Totally agree, it is really plant size that should determine when it starts getting nutes. Usually somewhere in the 2-4 week range and depends on what soil they are in too. They do not look near the size where it would be needed IMO.
I would guess flushing and then letting them dry out really well before any watering is a good idea. I have never flushed a plant though, I use supersoil and feed very lightly.
Also, do you know what your temps are? They should be above around 72 and below around 83...

looks stretched, so maybe the lights to high above the plant, needs to be 1-2" above the plant

but i can glimpse how you feel. if i was in your situation, i would flush it with ph'd water and leave it alone. gluck! its hard, but better to just cut your minimal losses

yea just use distilled for now, try to pick up some phdown and just use alittle to get it to 6.5, your gonna need it for your skunk anyways and its good practice.
i don't know how to adjust the water ph and i don't have a ph-metter anyway....I've heard that i can adjust the ph with some chemicals but i don't know how and i must buy something to verify my ph ...i watered my plants only with distiled wather and i didn't know that i must add something in that water, I taught that distiled water have 6.2 ph and it's good as it is for my plants...

Looks pretty good, make sure your lettin the soil dry out between waterings over water will def slow down growth, also I wouldn't use distiller without a micro supplement you'll run into problems eventually

My advice is go get a hygrometer for soil potted plants. At Lowes and Canadian tire I've seen them for $5Can. 80 watts of daylight CFL is sufficient to start seedlings. Use a good relective surface around the grow to get the best from the CFL's. Get a reflective bonnet for the CFL's. I tried 18/6d with this speck and it had to be uped to 20/4d for veg because the seedlings were getting lanky.
