hi i'm new at growing and i think i'm over watering my plant. and i have no fan in my closet so is that also the reason y it's curling and kinda wilting sorry if i spelled that wrong. anyways i have it in my closet and have 2 cfls for the veg stage then when it's the flower stage i will have different bulbs. and also i was going to put it into a bigger pot a 3gal pot next week cause i think that is y it's wilting.

Hard to tell without pics, but leaves that curl inwards and look "bloaty" is a good sign it's over watered.

A plant will "wilt" when under watered, but over time you begin to tell the difference. For instance, when a plant is under watered the plants stems will become wilted and soft, but not when it's over watered, they will remain firm.

That was actually me who thought it looked like algae on your soil, lol.

I don't think it's wilting because it needs a bigger pot, your plant is still fairly small, it takes a lot longer than that for a plant to get root bound. 1 week is probably a good time to transplant it though, even a little longer but a week would probably be just about right.

The plant looks pretty good, but yeah, a little over watered. I use silo cups and I don't water unless it feels practically empty. I've notice far more problems with my plants when I over water than when I underwater.

You've either put it in pre- nuted bag soil, or you've fed it thats clear, Also bet there is no holes in that cup. Cfl s don't produce heat, so your cup isn't going to dry out as fast. Replant it in a min 3 gal like you said. add extra perolite if you intend to continue with cfls, or not, extra perolite is a plus in any soil grow. Put a fan in your closet to move the air around, and bring fresh in, direct the fan so it blowes across the surface of the soil. This does nor need to be a large fan, a small clip on one will be sufcient in a closet. This aids in evaperation. Don't feed it any more for awhile it's over fed now, either from the bag soil or your nute's, and quite possibly a combo of both, yes? Those leaves look cupped (clawing) more so than the curling you exclaimed in your heading. Billy bob gave good sound advice for those set of symptoms. This is better described as feeding to early.

Awsome, what are you growing for cronic pain? I grow several diffrent srains for a multitude of patients, I personally Am looking for new breeding stock, and like to hear what is working for people. When someone goes through the trouble of acuiring a clone of something, it's because that strain did something for that person. I understand that and keep my ear to the wall for that purpose.

Also don't be scared, and you are going to screw up, and recover through this process. It's a journey, everyday something new is learned in farming. It evolves constantly. First things first you need some tools. The tools provide the knowledge that helps you make good, practical decisions for your paticular grow, IE, space, financial, etc. from there you are set to go in the direction of YOUR choosing. "should I grow in a box, closet, open floorspace,outside, in the extra shower whatever". So you say what are these tools? Well one of them is sitting right there in front of you. The forum. Another, you need a good book that will walk you through every aspect of a grow, from how to build your grow, how to diagnose your plants issues, how to scuff and make hash, honey oil, how to breed plants to achieve certain results. And yes there is several books out like that, let me recomend a very good one. Try, "Greg Green's", "The cannabis Grow Bible". This is a constant companion for me all 535 pages read like a novel. Get this online or your bookstore. Just a great book. Drop me a few lines from time to time. Let me know what you think about the book. And good luck. peace.

< This avatar is bag seed, as is everything in my photo album. Nothing wrong with running bag seed thats where the good breeding stock came from. Just keep cracking those seeds, one day you will find a perfect example and have something good, Often bag seed is simply, good strains grown poorly.
