As of yesterday (three days since sprout), my plant was looking fine. It was about 1.75 inches tall, with two leaves sprouted that where almost as large as the cotyledons. on the shelf in a small cabinet (2' by 2' by 3.5) the actually space right now, since it is on a shelf, is about 2 by 2 by 2. I painted the walls of the cabinet a flat white (originally had aluminum foil), yet unfortunately I only have 1 13" flouro in there right now on a 24/0 with a 90 mm pc fan blowing on it 24/7. after reading widowmakers post on how to grow marijuana, I moved my plant closer to the light. instead of being a good 2' from it, it was about 4 inches. After returning home today from work to check, I discovered that the plant had keeled over, with its head almost in the ground. I don't have a digital camera, but i made an image in paint (pretty much complete crap). Im not sure if the problem is that i messed up with the watering cycle, or if it is related to the fact that i moved it close to the light. any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

im sure that the leave got wet, but no the lights where not touching the plant, for there was a good 4 inches in between the 2.

Re pot it and fill in the soil all the way to just under the cotyledons.
This will help.
You need more light..

im a noob too, but could the fans blowin on it directly for 24/0 be a problem? i didnt use any fans until the 10th day or so. jus had the windows open

do you think if I got another of the same light it would work out ok, or should I completly scrap the idea and go with something else?

It is cuz the plant is stretching for the light and is to weak to support its own weight

ok, the plant has turned a deep brown, so, i dont think its going to make it, but no worries, still 2 outdoor plants, 1 plant already germinated and planted, and 4 plants germinating.
