I went and stayed at my girlfriend house for one night, come back this morning checked my plant and it had bent about halfway up at a right angle, stem had gone purple, cotyledon totally shrivelled up.. Its only like a week old, the peat pellet that its in had dried right up, so i just watered it, went to work, come back 7 hours later and it gone back straight. is that a sign of it coming back to health?

you need more soil to retain water.

if it dries out again you probably will kill it

Stress at an early age is not a good thing at all....

you reckon i should transplant it into soil asap yeh? a problem i seem to have is, that i cant really move the light closer because the plant is so small, it just cant deal with it, so it just seemed to be stretching and the first real leaves wernt changing at all.

The pellets suck. Plant them in soil.

no problem man... :) also when looking for soil look for something that does not have "time released nutes" it may seem like a good thing but when you want to flush or just add water you can't.... since the nutes are already in the soil.... the more water you give it the more nutes it gets and it will kill your plants...

its overferting bro, watch the nutes, it came back when you watered it because it drowned out the high concentration of nutes
