Hey everybody.
I'm a first time grower and looks like already having some challenges.
Been growing for about 2 months now. I've bendet it many times so it doesn't grow so much in height.
Keeping the temperature above 21 degrees celsius (21-26), humidity around 60%-80%.
Don't have any wents at the moment, but will set them up soon as waiting for them to ship.

Started to grow with 1 CFL 23w light bulb for about a month. Then added 2 LED 6.2W 2700K bulbs.
Week ago switched to 2 60W Grow lights E27 Red + Blue SMD 265V LED (Link to bulbs)

Also a week ago I found out that there are soil bugs swimming in the watering tray, so I decided to repot the whole plant in a new pot. It was clay pot, so the bugs was living in slits.

It looks like this all has been a huge stress for plant. It grows weird 1 finger leafs. I see some "brownish" stuff on leafs as well, and they're not happily reaching for the light.

Any suggestions how to make this baby happy again? Or what should I pay attention to? IMG_3164.JPG IMG_3165.JPG IMG_3163.JPG

Thank You for the help moondance. Will switch over to 20-4h schedule and set up the lights closer. Repotting is done :) Appreciate the quick response :)

find out what bugs are there and sort them out asap, u know about bennificial bacteria? If not read up.

find a more suitable light, you're a beginner don't make things harder by messing on with inadequate lighting, find a large cfl or better still and preferably a hid lighting system, you could find an adequate led light as well but i don't know about them.

Stop trying to grow without a vent or extraction, it only works for a short time while they're young and just opening the door once a day isn't allowing for enough gas exchange. You're gonna need an exhaust fan and a filter if you want to eventually flower the plant, otherwise its gonna stink up that place.

I hope this helps mate, the fact its growing one bladed leaves means that it is literally freaking the fuck out and just as depressed as stressed so your gonna have your work cut out for u. If it was me I'd bin it but I can see why u wouldn't want to.

I just went though this last year. My plant stressed out from bugs and lighting issue's. I switched her back to 24/0 and started back to high N nutes. A few weeks later (takes a little time to come back) every spot that had buds forming, sprouted a stupid amount of regrowth. At the end of a 7 cola LST attempt, turned into a bushy ass too-many cola plant! Just ride it out and treat it like it's a seedling in veg. She will grow back and give you a stupid about of regrowth. Just be patient. Good luck!!!!

Like what has been said, just be patient. That plant looks nice and green and healthy so you should have no problem revegging her.
