Hey you guys, just lettin you know the outcome of my project. Unfortunately, the plant was looking terrible, beyond repair, so I just ripped it out and threw it away. But that's ok cuz I learned a lot. I think my second try will go better. I plan to get some Farm Fox Ocean forest soil, then put in some Big bloom in 3-4 weeks later for my nutes. I've heard this combination is top notch. Thanks for all your help and for sharing all the information you had for my situation!

Ok so you probably want to build yourself a grow box. It's not that expensive either (I built mine for about $30-40 total for everything). I picked up an old cabinet from Goodwill for like $6 and just used mylar to insulate the entire inside of the box. Then I put a dual fan system in the back, put up 4 CFL cool white bulbs up about 2 inches away form the plant itself, you will need to transplant it soon because that cup is too small.

Also you will need to purchase a soil with a 20-20-20 or 18-18-18 ratio. If you can't find that exact ratio purchase a nutrient feed that gets it as close as possible to that number. In this early stage the best for the plant is probably keeping it under light for 24 hours. Using the 18-6 method is more effective later on in the plants life.

Everyone else above is right, that plant needs MORE light, and LESS water. I picked up the book "Cannabis Grow Bible" and it has helped me through a lot of my problems I had. If you want to see my setup here is a link to my post https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/350181-first-time-grower-need-help.html Also put up some update pics of the plant so we can see how its doing.
