Hey everyone.

Iv had this plant for five weeks, shes a bit fucked up as shes had multiple 3 days in a row without light hence my job and no timer.... Shes been cooked the fuck by my CFLs as one fell off the hook and was touching it while i was sleeping and cooked her up. Shes alive but only just. Its very small for five weeks. I dont know if its the lighting? Or the shitty soil she was in for the first 4 weeks. Dirt from outside... Or if it was the 6 days all up in her life of no light. 3 days, then light for a week(Not constantly), then another 3 days of darkness.... My lights are shit i admit, I have a 12watt cool white CFL spiral 4000k, and a 20watt 4000k spiral CFL which i think is 1300 lumens .. Anyway as you can see in the pic, shes cooked up. Unfortunitaly. What i want to know is, has all this fucked my plant for good? Iv had plants in the past that havr had worse light times ect... But never been toasted by my lights. First time iv experianced this. What i want to know is, should i keep her? Shes been on 18/6 for almost 2 weeks now and she was starting to kick in and look VERY good (see other pic)... Started growing faster and she looked darker green ect... Was getting healthy. But now im faced with the top most leaves are a bit fried lol :( So should i keep it? Will she recover in a few days? Theres still green growth on parts of the burned leaves. Also the very tiny leaves in the center (The ones shell be working on next), one of the tips of thoughs leaves are cooked but the rest of it and the opposite leaf to that are fine, green and look good. But would this be a waste of time keeping her? Should i start again with a new seed? She was working on her 4th set of fan leaves.. The branches on the 3rd set of leaves are starting to grow and are visible. My thought was maybe the burned leaves would be "like fimming" and slow down the top growth and shel start focusing on new growth everywhere else???? Or will it continue growing how it was originally? But just be slow and a but fucked up for a week or so? Any help is appreaciated. I really dont want to throw her away after all the effort iv gone threw to get her back on track and growing good. But then this happens. Always something to get in the way right... Please help. Legit, real answers please, i dont want people starting arguments on my post lol... IMG_20141121_224423.jpgIMG_20141124_154549.jpg
And please dont hound me about my lights and soil lol. The soil drains well and has nutes. I cant afford better lighting at the moment aswell so this will have to do. CFLs are fine if kept close as long as theres a fan blowing cool air. Which i have.

Once again thanks for your replies and help. Sorry for such a long post guys :)

I'd keep her. That is enough light - for now - but not much longer. You owe her a shot at survival after all you have done to her :-)

I am not trying to be rude, but it's just like you don't listen. Like I have said and many others it's your SOIL plus all those light problems you described in the other posts. You said you bought a houseplant at a garden store, took it out and used that soil and planted your plant in it. Again, I have no other advice than to get that stuff fixed and hope for the best, but with that updated pic, it's not looking good.

Iv decided to just keep it... Im going to grow it. When i get some extra money come in i will buy better lighting. Better soil and fert and grow again. But i cant throw my plant away. I have no access to smokable weed where i live other than what i can grow. So im going to grow it. Iv cut the cooked leafs off. Only the ones that are totally fucked, so it doesnt try to repair them and directs it growth to the branches and top leaves. Iv just cut it off now, and i thought i wont waste ANY part of my plant so i put that tiny bit i cut off in a bowl and smked it. SUPRISINGLY i feel it? Or nitrogen? Idk its not a headache thats for sure. I havent smoked in almost a month though. But im good on weed a little goes far for me (cant complain)... :)

Would it be wise to top? Iv marked out the locations on the plant so you could get a better idea. I thought maybe if i top it just above the 3rd node and let the branches grow instead? You may need to look at pics on a pc or something with a big screen or zoom in
