show us a picture!if your using poor quality soil its probably lacking the nutrients a plant needs!most good soil has enough nutrients in it to last 3-4 weeks so your plant may be a little hungry!are you letting the soil dry out before watering or are you watering every few days regardless?

if youre always keeping the soil moist id say youre best bet is to get a little bit of some veg nutes.

I wouldnt let the soil dry out before you water it. It could be getting dry pockets and roots cant grow there. You might want to give it a good water and make sure it drains properly then water a little whenever it starts to feel dry

Ive never bought or used nutes. Im just starting my first indoor and im going organic. However if you can get a picture it would be easier to tell you what it might be and how to fix it.

You can do a lot worse than use tomato feed in veg, Tomorite works well and is a complete feed - you can then spend real money on the flowering feed. Its one of those things everyone has an opinion on though, and I am sure more advice will come flying in.
