i started growing 10 mid grade seeds 32 days ago. i first germinated the seeds in a paper napkin before planting into jiffy cubs, when the first two round leaves sprouted i then transplanted them into the little brown paper pots with jiffy seedling soil, i water daily with a water mixture that contains a little miracle grow, my lighting consists of a double sided lamp with a glass shade and on each side, of both light sockets i have instuled spot gro growing bulbs which are about 65 watts each one gives off a light blue color the other a dark blue color it seems efficent, i grow in my bedroom closet, have a humdidifier in there with the fan running only not the humidifier part, i keep temperaturs in there between 75-85 degrees, i air out room 15 mins at a time about 3-4 times a day, its a lil cold but when its warm i take them outside for about 30 mins a day, or leave them on my bedroom window sill behind the curtain wif the window cracked for a bout an hour a day, out of the 10 i palnted, only 3 of them made it to where im at now, currently i have one plant the second tallest planted in a huge plastic pot with jiffy soil, it sits kind of high to the light n the rim i beleieve might cut of sum air circulation, the other two plants, the tallest is doing really good but has a really weak stem so i pro it up with a plastic fork n it stands right up, how can i make the stem stronger? it has good wind on it at all time from the fan. i cant tell any of the plants sex yet, the plant im worried about the most is pretty tall has both first circular leaves but i removed the shell phically from the plant n the first two fan leaves are midgets n curled up at the tips n appear to maybe be about to start shriviling up and it hasnt grown any height or anything in about two weaks but it is really green and stilla live, why isnt it growing new leaves? how can i make it? what can i do to help it, n the last plant of which has grown up to its 3 set of fan leaves but is the shortest in the big pot it hasnt grown any taller since the transplant, why isnt it growing anymore? why is it taking so long? what can i do... p-s- the othert plants are planted in cut plastic orange juice containers...TROPICANA MMMMM... any advice would be gratly appreciated thank you...

its a lil cold but when its warm i take them outside for about 30 mins a day
You probably don't want to do this anymore. When you bring them outside, the humidity levels are probably really different from what they are inside and I bet they don't like that.

thanks for the Advice but i do not think there is humdity shock, humidity doesnt hurt unless it is exceeding the limit of too much humidity, and fresh air and sunlight really seems to help my plants, my tallest plant had stopped growing and i took it outside and that same day it started growing...

by bringing the plants inside and outside its a different type of lighting the plants is liking the natural light and then when you bring it back inside to the unnatural light it begins to strain for the unmeet needs from the natural.

I'm just speaking from personal experience. Also, low humidity isn't good either. I took my plant outside one time, thinking it might like the weather and when I brought it back inside, it started to die. It just couldn't handle the change.

thank you both, well i do have a humidifier in my growing space but i run the fan only should i fill up the humidifier tank and make it more humid in the closet n every once of awhile like right now, i sit my biggest plant on my window sill in direct sunlight wif the window open in a fresh breathe and it seems to like it and i try to air my grow room out as much as possible, should i stop feeding my plants fresh air and sunlight? is it going to hurt that much or should i just limit the amount of both. remember i only give it like amounts of sunlight maybe 1-2 hrs a day.. thankyou
