Over the past 3 days my plant has started to look wierd and not growing right. It's just over 2 weeks old and gets plenty of light.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it?

i came home today and found my plant laying on is side its 1 week old and gets plenty of sunlight. i put more dirt around the stem to hold it up i hope it keeps growing i think maybe i might have gave it to much water. i have it in a 8oz styrophome cup. i don't give it much water everytime i water it but i water it a little every day

I put a fan on it on and off for about 10 hours a day, but that's the same from since it sprouted, and it's been looking really healthy up until recentley. I can't think of anything that could have changed.

keep the fan on all the time the lights are on. and if you live in a warm climate keep it on all the time on a low setting. thats you're problem

OK, I'll leave the fan on all the time now. And I think it may also be over watering, xtrmhkr. I was watering about every other day. I have cut back now though.

I've really been meaning to get a moisture meter. I should water when the soil is dry two inches down, right?

its decent rule of thumb but you have things like dry/wet spots and also drainage and the type of water retention in the bottom. dude trust me if your worried ablut watering a meter will wipe away all fears.

i leave my fans on all the time just to maintain that cool flowing temps. i was thinking the plants was a bit stretched too? maybe more light and less watering? add easy nutes?
