A Newbie having problems with a Newbie Plant.

Hi there. I'm planting for about 3 weeks now, and, at the beginning, i planted 4 seeds. Only one survived. The seeds are from an unknown origin, and i wanted to give them a try, since a friend offered them to me. So here goes the damn problem with the survivor one...

Growing Info:

. I'm growing indoors;

. I water her each 2 days, with a sprayer. When i see she's getting too wet... I let the medium dry;

. She's planted in an Organic Mixture (or, in other words, expensive dirt);

. Since it has passed 3 weeks since i planted the seed, she's on the seedling stage.

So the problem is what follows: since last week, the plant started getting kind of dry on the bigger leaves, as you can see on the pictures presented below. And today, she started falling to the back... So i sticked a pencil in the medium so she would't fall too much (she can still stand up, but she's very weak). I'm trying to remove all humidity from my growing room right now. Any thoughts on this one?

Happy Smoking ; )

I see you have lots of room so bury the plant up to 1/2" below bottom leaves.. at that size I water once every 3-4 days.... you want the roots to look for water....
You didn't mention nutes.... I don't give any till about 3-4 weeks in.... Luck.

And how can i do that without damaging her? Remember, i'm no pro xD I'm one of those people that are always afraid of damaging their plants, so they don't even touch them. By the way, can i trim the leaves which are dry on the tip so that new tips are born?

Once the leaf is damaged it won't regrow... forget it.. bottom leaves always die off anyways... I'd give a good watering and no nutes (are you nuting now..?).. wait about three days and see if the problem advances, ... look at soil bag to see if any nutes in soil... two things kill babies.. too much water/nutes.....

Ok, i'll try to forget it xD No, i'm not using any nutrients now, only Mineral Water. When she's on her Vegetative State, i'll start watering some nutes like Nitrogen. The medium contains various nutrients... But if she grew up 'till this point, i don't think that it is related with the medium itself. I'll keep the pencil sticked on the dirt.

Try using a fan on low. If you could wire a pc fan to a 12v adapter and have it blowing it into your grow space near the plant it would eventually make your stalk thicker. The reason this works is becuase in the wild marijuana is exposed to wind, but if you grow inside there is none. try to emulate nature.
