So my plant is about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks old and I was thinking she should look a lil bit bigger than this and a lil more healthy.... whats the problem??
heres the specs:

Cab is plenty big enough see picture. I painted all the walls flat white.
Soil grow
8 cfls white spectrum i think 23-26 watters
distilled water
fan blowing on them
I got 4 seedlings waiting to sprout been 2 days no sprout yet.
used the papertowel germ. method.

It does feel like temps are kinda high inside the cab when the doors are shut which is usually when im sleeping from like 2 am to noon otherwise I have the doors open for ventilation.

any help or ideas whats going on im stuck. I dont overwater them (learned that from last grow) and when I do water i water till it runs out the bottom.

see pics and any help would be greatly appreciated.
also today think im pickin up some dry ice for some boosted co2.

The lights are too far man! look at my grow journal...i believe where usin the same type of lighting. i keep lights no less than 1 inch from top considering floros make almost no heat and with the help of a fan you'll ensure you wont burn em.

not feeding her anything but water and i know the lights are a lil higher because it gets really hot in the cab. Is heat maybe why she looks like that?

when u want to crack the seeds do this.
get a cup of water with correct ph drop seeds in cup wait 24 hours have a plate with paper towel couple of strips of it on the bottom same for top.
lay seeds on towel lash the water on keep checking within the next 36 hours u should see them cracking or cracked with tail coming out transfer them to your pots which have already been soaped with ph ready water with your mix of soil and pearlite.
make a bit of space of the top with finger drop seed in correct way just look at it and u will see which way points down put under light 18/6 keep eyes on it feel weight of pot for signs of less water if needed water around the plant as it is so small it need help at this stage keep as close to light as poss after 1week or wen u feel confident introduce feed as u feel fit
when they start to come up u might have to help them out of the shells BECAREFUL IF IT DONT COME OFF EASY WAIT TILL IT DOES happy smoking bro

but what soil are you using? does it have nutes in it? a plant doesn't end up looking like that with out being fed too much nutes...

its gotta be the heat and low humidity~!

when im dealing with low humidity, which i do daily in my tent (and high temps too), i just go in there every 4 or 5 hours with a spray bottle, and spray half a bottle into the air. The mist combined with the heat creates humidity(duh, lol), and keeps everything optimal as long as your temps arent too high. after 4 hours or so the tent is dry again and humidity starts to fall once again from 50% to 15-25%, so i hit it again with the spray bottle. Id say i do it twice a day, i did it three times one day, but thats when temps in my tent were around 100 degrees. i got it down to around 80-85 now, which aint too bad as long as i keep it nice n humid. Dont take it over 50% either, i guess thats a bad thing, lol.

-And alot of people will say thas not a good idea because it will cause algae or bacteria to form in the room, but as long as you wipe your walls n ceiling down in the morning before you get started, everything will be more than fine with your setup. Good luck on your grow man, you can work through it, but you gotta act fast and figure out if thats the problem or not NOW though, otherwise you might have acted too late.

Ok so we got a thermometer which reads temp/humidity and the freakin growbox read 100 degrees and like 21% humidity!!

So we cut an intake and outtake hole with a fan blowing ain and a computer fan for exhaust blowing out. read temps about an hour later and were down to 90 degrees and 31-33% humidity. So is this gonna work or what should I do to get those temps at least down to the 80's and humidity at least to the 40-50%. PLEASE HELP!

:hump:These plants look like mine. Are you growing in mirical grow because thats what Im in and my plants have all the signs of being over fed with nutes. I am going to see if they pull out of this on there own before changing soils again. good luck
