Sammyb's First Grow

Hey, do you have a fan blowing on it at all? A 9" fan on low speed blowing 24/7 will help strengthen the root.

And not to say you weren't ever-so gentle when you transplanted, but 2 transplants in that short amount of time risks transplant shock. If she doesn't show progress for a few days just be patient. She'll start exploding. Lookin good man

Droopy leaves -- looks like slight over watering. Let your soil dry out before you water. Not just the surface, stick your fingers in there (gently) and if you feel the slightest moisture it is not time to water yet.

As for your pot size... I put my girl in an absolutely enormous pot way early. She loved it. I dunno why someone would tell you to transplant back into a small pot? Especially with the risk of transplant shock. Roots grow outward to find moisture when the soil dries up. That's why healthy root growth is dependent on a good watering schedule. You want to let your soil dry out before you water. When it dries out, the roots grow. Really doesn't matter how big your pot is.

Other than that your stem looks nice and green and so do the leaves. She's not lookin' that bad at all.

its mainly the 2 new leaves, its turned totaly brown now(like it burnt)
i water every morning, that could be the reason, but the reason why i water so often is coz the humidity is 29% now and i dont wont her to dry out.
i dont understand why humidity is droppping, i have a fan n a vent hole to the atic.

You might want to raise the humidity in your chamber by misting, or getting a small humidifier.

29% is awful low for vegging. My plants needed +60% relative humidity in the veg chamber, and my one strain (Venus Flytrap) only seemed to thrive upwards near 90% humidity.

You're better off raising the rH , than overwatering your plants/medium to compensate for "drier times"

I don't really understand this post. Your Day 17 pic, the plant looks better off than the Day 16 pic.

Day 16 is droopy, probably overwatered slightly.

Day 17 it looks healthy, perked up and reaching for the light.

When my plants look like Day 17, I am a happy camper. She might be a tad small for Day 17 but it appears you have repotted it twice ? She will take off shortly.

The small leaves.....the ones that look like green tongues. They wilt and die soon after the plant develops true leaves and gains height. It's normal.

She looks fine. Let it grow. One of the worst...............no, make the worst thing new growers can do..............is over baby-ing their plants.

MJ is extremely resilient and generally does fine when just cared for..............not babied. What do you mean by stuffy ?

What are temps and humidity currently ?

My plants absolutely thrived in my veg chamber at 88-90 F plus or minus a degree, and above 60-70% humidity.
