Do the leaves on this plant look healthy? (pics)

Thanks to anyone who can look at this plant's leaves and tell me if something is starting to go south. Some basic info: Plant is about 3 weeks old. Planted in a 2 quart container with standard potting soil. No nutes added at this point. Watering with bottled water only when soil is dry an inch or so down. Plant is grown (in a container) sitting in a small white Rubbermaid tub, using 2 100 watt eqiv. (5600k) CFL's. about 8" or so from top of plant. The tub is sitting in an open, airy room with a ceiling fan above it on low. The leaves are cupping up at the edges and some leaves have their tips turning brown. I can't imagine that it is root bound, as I've seen many successful grows in party cups.

Thanks, again.

your leaves look okay but you need to get better soil and some nutes or you will have problems down the line

uhh the problem looks like over watering. that why those leaves are drooping. water when it looks dry. and try to lower your lights a bit. also make sure you cover that cup with some black tape or black paper roots hate light. also if your low on cash and can't afford nutes just buy some molasses and use 1tbsp per gallon of water. it will give the plant some food to grow. side note here if you can put as much light on that thing as possible

Thanks alot for tipping me off to the container issue. I just covered it with gray tape and will replant in a bigger and proper container this weekend. I added another light and will also add some nutes this weekend. Thanks again!
