whats the water schedule like? and the feeding and soil composition?

different sized plants take water at different rates....
 
i water whenever the the soil about a inch and a half down dry (i use my finger to feel) then i water, i dont have a watering schedule i just dont let the soil get completly dry, i havnt gave any nutes, or food. all natural except the last 3-4 waters i used my fish tank water. i just flushed the plant 3 times. but the leafs are just like flopping down they were standing straight up. i really am clueless, can you help me? lights are 4 of 23 watt/100 equivelent cfls, for 2 plants. with a fans on both sides of the grow box, and the entire thing is covered in reflective emergency blanket. Each bulb does 1600 lumens. i figure 3 would do it, but i got 4 instead.

just sink water, and potting soil. No additives. I did super thrive in the beginning a few times but that seemed to really burn the leaves.

the stem is still strong, i cant see the roots cuz the soil has a good strong hold on it in a pot formation. i just flushed it a few times, thinking the fish water was the issue.. what do you think?
Grab the plant and pull it out of the pot it wont kill it and it should have a root system that will hold it together. I just want to know if something is wrong with the roots.

Roots look green and healthy, i sprayed the plant with some water, and i did 4 flushed earlier, it looks like its gaining strength. any advice to what might i did wrong? and by the looks of the plant, how much longer does it need to flower? just asking you while i got your attention lol hope you dont mind, i havnt asked any questions about my plants before on here cept for before i started.

Well if they are green you have more issues than you think. No I do not have any idea how much longer. I am still trying to figure it out myself No I do not mind just do not get into the territory of being retarded. I do not like stupid people

Oh and get some nutrients like normal people do!! Fish water will not get you "DANK"

superthrive is indeed recommended, and you are probably needing regular fertilizer by now too, at LOW DOSAGE.

don't mind sparkafire, he sounds mean but inside he's all soft and cuddly :)

when you pulled the plant with the soil, were the roots bound around the soil as if they were grabbing it real tight? and were they actually green? If they were indeed in the color of green, go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide (3% should be enough). Then dilute it in tap water at 3ml/L, wait an hour, and water it to the plant. This may help saving her.

how long since it started making flowers (white hairs)? if no more than a week or two, it may still not be too late to transplant it into a bigger pot, that is, if it is root bound (the first question i asked).
