i overwatered it 2 days ago... i geuss.. just till it just dripped runoff. And scince then it is drooping to the point of almost touching soil on the first true leaves and the ones after them are turning purple... this is not a purple strain. I have a cheap chinese 600w (60 actual watts) on it, i accually set it just 5 or 6 inches away yesterday cause it was stretching terribly. But ive put a fan by it and it seems to have dreid out the soil enough but its not perking back up. And whats with the purple?

It will recover you must let the soil dry out before watering again. Don’t worry about the purple. Are you planning on flowering under that light ?

Is it chilly where it is?
Cold temps can bring on purple .
Even though its not a "purple" strain dosnt mean purple isnt in there somewhere

Hang a simple 23W spiral CFL about an inch and a half away. Some people claim to use 10W LED bulbs, we don't get those here.
I have raised tonnes of vegging plants with no more than a few hanging open bulbs. The 23W CFL seems to drive growth most efficiently for seedlings compared to other light sources I have used.

For low numbers of plants, it is the way I would always do it.

He’s planning on using a 60 w light for flowering with one 23 w cfl and a 22 w led bulb. If that’s enough power i would be amazed. Anyone know how it will turn out?

not sure mate I don’t really think it will work. I have never used less than 600 w to flower. Honestly I wish you all the best with it tho

If you are not growing legally, your yields will not justify the risk of harm to you. You'd be better of just buying weed,
