Day 24 plant problem. HELP!!!!

Today marks day 24 since seedling and I dont know whats up. last night i flushed the plant out with 3 gallons of distilled water. the lights I use are two 150w/5000 bulbs (the 2 that are on the outside) and two 100w/6500 bulbs (the 2 that are inside with the Y attachment). I did not use any nutes yet. Is my plant dying? Do I start over? I just want to grow 1 plant for personal use.

that MG crap. too hot for young plants, imo. especially certain strains. flushing only releases more nutes.

Miracle grow is great for tomatoes, but suck's for pot!!! Way to hot a mix and not the right consistity it will produce great vegetive growth look awesome and not give shit for bud's loose runney sucky bud's get away from that crap and do your plant's a favor!!!!! find a garden center and find a GOOD light mix for your plant's and in a couple of week's transplant it into a new pot larger of course with the new soil!! Do not touch the soil it's in now, or disturb the plant as this will not help the situation! Simply repot, make a space the size of the exsisting pot inside the new pot fill new soil around it pack slightly pull your pot out hold hand's over top surface (do when dry!) turn upside down tap botom and place in hole you made with it's pot previously! Now water throughly slowly......give the plant 1-2 weeks and then your plant should thrive!!! Set-up looks great keep the box 70-80 degrees vent air! try a small fan! wishing you the best! jack
 
What about this soil?IMG_20120517_093910.jpgAll I have is Lowes by my house. I was going to start another 3 seeds with this soil. should I add anything to it? Flush it out first?

your plant looks OK but your dirt is for different plants. You notice for cannabis growers, if you look around, they mix perlite , vermiculite or hydroton pellets :cool: into their planting medium. the reason is because cannabis grows in places between arable land and desert. those things are added because they increase drainage and help get oxygen to the roots (speeds up the wet/dry cycle) . so moisture max is the opposite of what you want, in a way.
Is there a fan? might not be enough airflow under the cfls.
for good organic soil, find a nursery nearby, if you do use dirt with fertilizers (wrong for a seedling) you shouldn't fertilize a seedling in it for a month or 2. the one you have , whether you leave it or decide on transplant to a new medium is your choice but if you don't give up, you should try new lights, and techniques each time- make it better

Anything that says it feeds for so long yada yada should be avoided, unless it also says it is all organic...you are even using an off brand miracle gro...also stay away from anything moisture control...it is better to even add perlite...MJ likes to get dry

For real, Fox Farms or Roots, or coco..and I like FF Ocean Forest more than Roots Organic I think... the premium soils are so much better than that lowes crap, that it is hard to call them the same thing... one is dirt, and one is soil. I think...You can smell and see the difference in the soil itself as soon as you open the bag, and then you definitely see the difference in your plants. Just don't overwater no matter what soil you use...
