Exactly what light are you running? Do you have fresh air constantly circulating into the grow box? Heat and humidity under control? Overwatering? PH? What medium are you growing in?

yeah man she looks healthy, you just need to cut back on your watering a little bit and they should perk back up in no time.

You're going to run into some issues trying to grow in a garbage can. "Garbage in, garbage out" LOL!

Seriously though, your plant requires air circulating around and through it. This isn't the same as an "exhaust fan". However, this isn't what's causing the issues. I run into this as well, especially with White Widow. What I ultimately end up doing is removing a couple of the large fans, so that light gets to the lower parts, where the new branches are trying to firm. In nature, the sun is powerful enough that a really high percentage of light passes through the fans, so everything gets light. Inside lights aren't even close to being that powerful. This is why I think they stall out. None of the growth under the big fans are getting enough direct light to develop at a normal rate.

Some people might argue against trimming the fans away, but I get explosive growth from all the hidden stuff, when I get light to them.

Make sure you allow the soil to dry between watering. The pot should feel really light when it's ready to water again.

The garbage can idea reminds me of an episode of Trailer Park Boys.

Post some pics of your garbage grow (lol). Post some pics so we can see if there are places you need to make improvements.

Larger pot, less water, air circulation.

Eyes aren't as good as they used to be, saw the thread "Growing Problems," saw the thumbnails and thought, "Well god damn, there's your problem, you"re growing in a toilet."

Larger pot means larger plant, not sure what size pot I would recommend for a garbage can, that is what I would ask.

Hell, he could just fill the garbage barrel with 6" of soil.
