First words of the thread, this is my first grow.

get yourself a moisture meter, any hydro store, garden center will have them. About 10 - 15 bucks, stick the probe in the soil, it tells you how wet it is, act accordingly. Takes the guesswork out.

you can stake it up or you can put a tomato cage over it, either will work.

probably just strain related, pics help.

seedlings don't need the light that close, they are fine at that height. Seedlings I grow in 16oz cups, little plant + big pot = hard to keep evenly moist, test the soil with your finger, when it feels dry an inch or two down, add water. A small plant doesn't need a ton of water 4 or 5...

plants can not make seeds without pollen being involved, it's like making a baby by jerking off into a kleenex, it can not happen. You either had pollen in your grow area from an unknown source (unlikely) or you had a hermie, ONE, pollen sac would be enough to do it and could be easily missed...

of course not transplanting has also been shown to hinder growth, just sayin

1 plant per pot, add more perlite your soil, looks very clumpy. 3 cups soil - 1 cup perlite, mix. If the soil is truly nutrient free, water them with a weak mixture of nutes 1/4 strength every 3rd watering. The leaves, looks like either poor drainage or over watering, possibly both.

maybe just give it some time then if it is otherwise healthy. A 2 gallon pot to me seems too small tho.

a lot of miracle grow is time release nutrients, it may be too hot for your plant. Hard to say for sure without a pic. What's your Ph at?

is it too hot at the top of your plants to keep your hand there? What's it growing in? Type of soil?

get some no pest strips, http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shot-5580-Unscented-Repellent/dp/B0019BK8AG

pics help, 8" seems close

over/under watering? how big is your pot, root bound?

indoor? outdoor? temps?

I agree, tie it down for sure, topping will help too.

organic matter, as much as possible, compost, leaves, peat moss, grass clippings, etc. I'd also add some lime and phosphorous, and you have to work it all into the clay about a foot. When you're done you will have a mound of sorts, breaking up clay to make it better doesn't happen overnight...

from what I understand you can NOT carry both at the same time, only 1 or the other.

that looks like an accident waiting to happen

the purple stems could be strain related or a phosphorous deficiency
