Hey man take it easy I'm just trying to understand. You can't expect it to be easy for me to immediately forget everything I ever thought I knew about anything, Jesus. I mean no disrespect an I appreciate all the help, Sensei.
Also, as a disabled person myself, "cripple" is not the preferred nomenclature...

UPDATE
25 days from seed now.
The taco issue was almost certainly due to high heat (100F), so I got her farther away from the light, which is the best I can do. I guess there's still some tacoing, as heat is still pretty rough, but again there's nothing more I can do about it, and I don't think it's that serious.
I found that she does actually respond best to feeding every watering, which is every day (medium is coco). I think she's doing pretty well now. A picture can't really do her justice IMO, but here goes, the mighty bush:

This ^. She is looking better, only problem is high temperature ( from what I see) if you want a cheap AC, get a fan and hang a wet wash cloth in front of it. It will dry out offten so keep an eye on it. This will only work for veg tho, you will need to come up with something else when she starts to flower or you will have moldy buds.

Yeah no doubt I'm running hot, fellas, going on 100F closest to the lamp, but look there's nothing I can do about it and while I appreciate the damp rag idea it does seem unsustainable as well as ghetto as fuck.
But check this girl out she's 28 days old and already a gosh darned jungle, she must love the heat! She's huge and unstoppable, I don't even know how to tie her down anymore. Sharpie for scale

Do whatever you want bro. Getto or not, it works. It could lower your temps by 20 degree or more.

But wouldn't I have to be changing rags constantly?

Also am I crazy to think she looks great? I'm not trying to brag, it's obviously all her, but I've been looking for pictures of similarly aged plants and I find non as big as her. Isn't it possible that she just craves the heat?

Yes you would have to reapply water to the rag very 2-3 hours depending how big it is. Isn't it possible that she just craves the heat? That sentence just shows how new to growing you are. I feel like I might be wasting my time, but I'm a nice guy so.
When the light is turned on, an ideal temperature for the cuttings and seedlings is between 68ºF and 77ºF (20ºC and 25ºC). As the plants get older they can evaporate a little bit more and the temperature may increase to a maximum of 82ºF (28ºC). When the lights are off, the temperature should lie between 62ºF and 72ºF (17ºC and 22ºC). Another important rule is that the temperature differences between day and night cannot be too high, a maximum difference of 10ºC. So when it’s 82ºF (28ºC) during the day, it cannot go below 64ºF (18ºF) at night. A temperature difference of 5ºC is ideal.
If temps are to high it will spend a lot of its energy trying to keep itself cool, so it is then not growing as much. If you really wanted to grow a nice plant I would think you would spend more time confirming what others have told you and less time comparing dick sizes.

yeah do anything 100 is fucking way too much theres acceptable .. like 80degrees and theres no where near acceptable which is in the 90-100 range.. I'm surprised its not showing more stress at that level

Yes you are feeding to much. First do a proper flush. Run at least 3-4 times water than the size of the pot and run plain water for a couple of waterings.
When you do feed again start 1/4 or 1/8 strength and work up from there. Then water, feed, water, feed. Like that.
i always wonder why people just feed and feed...... it reminds me of the wutang clan torture skit: I'm gonna sow your asshole shut and keep feeding you, and feeding you, and feeding you!!!! LOLharris hawk

Basicly feed 2 days out of 3 days (example _ feed/water/feed or feed/feed/water) remember one should let plant dry every 4th day to prevent nutrient issues (over feeding, ect)
