the light should be a lot closer, it looks like a Fluorescent. and how much soil is actually in the pot?

And also more lights and reflecting walls around the plant will help.

Just not enough light. It was for a while when the plant was smaller but now the plant is bigger and deserves more light. If this is all you have for now than place the lamps literally on top of the plant without touching it. Go get your self some 42watt CFL lights. Do the same with these.

Get different lights, make sure there are drain holes in the bottom of that bucket, and give the little one nutes high in Nitrogen. Possibly consider replanting it into more/better soil.
Good Luck!

Hmm possibly not enough nitrogen, you said your using 10-4-10, the nitrogen should be the highest while its still in veg.

probably got it a little too close, and it burned your leaves lol. no harm done considering the plant's current state. maybe leave the light up on the bench like it was and put something under the bucket to raise the plant to the light? keep the plant about 4" from the light, then if it grows it wont grow into the light and burn itself again. if you transplant into a dark colored bucket full of some nice healthy soil (fox farms ocean forest is gods gift to soil growers who don't wanna mix their own soil). your plant will probably live if you do that

I had my babies under 2 40watt fluors and they were pretty much touching the bulbs with no burnage what-so-ever. The CFL's are a different story. I had a leaf touch one for about 5 minutes and got a nice little burn ring and a great smell.

Looks pretty deep in the bucket, do you have a fan blowing on it? Maybe there's not enough air circulation
