Default Yet another 1st timer!!
Just as the title says, this is the first.
A few things I will point out:

-The space is 3'L x1'1"Wx 3'H(can be adjusted to over 6' in height)
-Some seeds from some unkown ; was a pretty good smoke though.
-At the moment, 9 26watt,1600lumen,6500K's
(started with 3, then six, now 9)
-2 fans( intake & exhaust(top))

One of them looks like its mother drank during pregnancy. Both were germinated at the same time, in the same manner, and planted within the same soil mix. One is an over-achiever I suppose. I can only assume that the soil wasn't mixed thuroughly. I recently transplanted them into these plastic pots; out from clay pots. -the droopy pics were minutes after the transplant. The close up is 24 hours later. They are both exactly 2 weeks old.

As previously stated, This is the first grow. I'm open to suggestions.

1 out of 2 ain't bad, the hurting one may grow through its current troubles if it is a bit of burn
a reasonable start for a 1st grow

I used Scotts Potting Soil and Espoma Plant-Tone plant food. I mixed it as the bag suggested (25 parts potting soil- 1 part plantfood). That little one was smaller than the other from the very start. I've read all of the stickies in the Plant Problems forum, and I'm still not sure what is wrong with it. It looks deformed. there is not one uniform set of leaves. I transplanted them yesterday and it looks abit better. i will give it some time.

As for the watering, I watered it with room temp, Fiji bottled water (not sure if that was necessary but.. hey I drink that stuff so the little bitches got it too.)During the first week, the top of the soil got very dry atleast twice- dry to the point the soil lifted away from the sides of the pot. I figured that the clay pot was soaking up the water and probably the nutrients too for that matter ~ hence my reasoning for the transplant. I mixed a new batch of soil and watered it yesterday and left the lights on for 24 hours. Turned them off for 6hrs and now its back to the 18/6 schedule.

I appreciate the encouragement
After adding more light, temps have risen too much for my comfort. I added a larger fan for fresh air and moved the smaller one to the top to help dissipate some heat.- temps went down- so far so good. The lil bitch is looking better aswell

Well if you are good with your hands, since you are behind the tub there you could set up a water flow cooling system

It is in its third week and new nodes have been appearing almost daily. It is bushy and dense. I have it about 5- 6 inches away from lights. It seems healthy, its just not growing up. There is little to no space between nodes. Can growth upwards be stunted?!? Could it be deficient in some way or another?!?
Thanks in advance
