maybe maybe not but not recommended to do so like they say it will 1 effect the light quality which has direct input to the health of your plant or 2. it will really really reduce the life of the bulb
Over watered, underwatered?

decent soil nothing wrong with id say with the advise givin by a few different members here follow them it was sound advise but I would for sure not dim the bulb unless u abssolutly have to which is never unless I had money coming out my well u know them hortiluxs aren't cheap..turn it back up to 1k raise the light to 4 ft lower daily while keeping a eye on her watch for first sign of stretching if u see it lower light asap till she can handle the full light intensity

man u guys are really over complicating things lol
if pot feels light when u pick it up.. water slightly near base of the plant.. or if small freshly planted young plant is just put in new dirt.. water slightly near base of the plant.
when pot is heavy when u pick it up.. don't water. it doesn't need any.
cannabis likes its soil to dry out a bit between waterings/feedings..never keep the soil really wet.. with those temps around 80 u shouldn't have a problem. it'll dry out in a reasonable amount of time.
another thing cannabis plants like... being left alone.
ensure what I just said is done.. check on it a time or 2 each day.. and let it grow. its like they say.. sometimes less is more...
try not to f*ck with it too much. they grow like weeds anyway.
4ft away from an HID lamp at 1000w even for plant that young should be fine.. but i'd probably still be cautious.. start a little further away.. inch it closer a little bit every couple days. a 1000w lamp is intense.. no harm in being careful. I start my plants under T5 then bring to HID lighting a few weeks in VEG .

Both are true, also too cold of air flowing through a sealed hood will also shift spectrum. If his clone isnt rooted good enough, backing off the lights, raising humidity and lowering ambient temps should help for the time being.

nah didn't over complicate
advise was right in line with what we told him pretty much hehe toke on my brother's

Well I hope it works out.
The only reason I don't have
10-15
In there is because I didn't know if I could keep em alive and didn't wanna waste the money

When you buy seeds next time, buy a pack of 20 regular seeds and try them all, dont be afraid to fuck them up. You will learn along the way.

u can do it.. just try not to f*ck with it too much.. create a suitable environment.. provide water and nutes at the right times.. and sit back and let the plant do the rest of the work.. it just takes time.
its hard not to obsess or wanna do/change things when you're new to growing.. but like I said before.. less is more. live by that, you'll do fine.

Did you fucking water it or what? All i read was a buncha bullshit about lights and shit. The lights are fine as long as theyre high enough up you can run a 1000 watt light over a clone dome. And when you dim it youll get more blue color out of it which is good for vegging plants, bad for the life of the bulb though. Did you water it and hows it doing?

Well ya but if theres water in the pot it helps lmfao. Weve all seen a plant that needs water before. I hear what your saying though. There might have been only one root in the whole cube lol. We never saw it before it went in. You could be right. If you are then it might take a couple days to start looking like a growing healthy plant.

Watered it and it hasn't popped up yet
There was a good amount of roots coming from the rockwhool.

If you have enough roots, and a moist medium and she just sits wilted like that im gonna point to smashed roots/uptake problems. I've never had a plant severly wilt more then a few hours in soil. Can you recall how you did the transplant?

I bought it from a dispensary near my house drove home, put the soil in the pot, made a hole, sprinkled (mychos?) in the hole, mixed em around a bit put the cube in the hole pushed dirt around it, mixed a very very light dose of veg nutes in water to 6.5ph,Watered it and put it in the tent.
That was Saturday
It's Monday and I watered it again thismorning
Temps are at 78 in the tent
The light is light is 3 N half feet above
Idk....

Approx how long were the roots hanging from the bottom of the cube? I dont see how your pot dries in two days yet they show severe water uptake issues there is no way that thing got rooted enough in 2 days. The plant is in shock, less heat,less light,no soil saturation and more humdity will slow down the water evaporating off the leaves, give a few days for rebound.
