What’s up guys, amateur grower here, so recently I started to grow my own batch of weed, supposedly my friend says that the seeds are blueberry seeds (not the fruit, no) and right now I have started the second month and the plant hasn’t grown an taller and one of the batches have started to twist and curl and I’m wondering where I went wrong. The setup I currently have because of my country’s economy is just a lamp, small type closet surroundings, and a small miniature fan. And as for a the “food” I used lamb fertilized soil, regular tap water and sometimes, not all the time, add like from 1/4 to 1/2 a stick of those fertilizer sticks for the garden that you came can just stick in the ground and forget about, and because of how my house is set up I can at most get like 5 hours of sunlight and if it rains, I’m fucked. Well guys that’s my case if you guys can help I would appreciate it dieces my dudes and dudettes.

You need a real grow light. Weed is not a "windowsill" type "houseplant". Takes a LOT of energy to grow.
So for my plants to get this far as that type of plant that I left it as, is lucky?

You really didnt get far..... Anyone can sprout a seed under a small light, really not much to it. Whatever the dirt you are trying to grow in is, its like mud. No good for cannabis. Looks like you dont have any drain holes in that pot? Thats another big mistake.

5 hours of light a day... you’d be lucky to get a few joints.
That’s if your plants survive long enough to make it
By the looks of that pot, won’t make it to the end of the week.

That “soil” looks like some kind of byproduct from an oil refinery. I’m surprised that plant is still alive after 2 months.

I was going to say it looks like my toilet does every morning but that works too.

Your lucky its still alive my friend.
1st a plant that small doesn't need tons of energy to grow to that point. The soil is fucked, the pot has no drainage holes, it looks over watered as well.
No its not lucky it got that far. But your luck will run out if you dont transplant into a suitable soil and get it outside at least if you dont want to spend money on a lighting and tent system.
alright my dude, so I fooled that suggestion and so far what I got was a 110 watt or 15K lumen bulb. Would that be enough or would that be too much?
alright my dude so took note of this and changed that but yet my leaves are turning a bit yellow from the edges I changed the bulb to a higher wattage to 110 and the soil I’m just waiting for it to drain mostly so that way I don’t have it too overwatered. Any suggestions?

What is the actual light you are running?
The specs q you 110 w/15K lumens

Is that "110w equivalent" or is it ACTUAL WATTAGE?
Actual

That should be enough to grow one little plant. So that being said, your soil...... It looks like diarrhea. Likely the main cause of any issues you are having.
