My plant is 4 weeks old. Transplanted a week and a half ago. I think i over watered it when i transplanted and ended up rotting my roots, locked out magnesium or something like this. Plant seems to be kinda happy and growing still but id love for the leaves to come in healthy and stay healthy. Haven't watered since, trying to dry the dirt up.
I topped and L.S.T her 3 days ago. Didn't seem to stop its growth at all.

What do you think is going on and what should i do?
Should i begin my first nutrient feed or stick with just water for another week or so?

What type of medium; soil or hydro? Soil
What brand and type of soil? Pro-Mix Potting Mix
Indoors or outdoors? Indoors
What strain? No clue
How old are the plants? Month
What type of lights and how many watts? 2 42watt cfls 6400k
How far from the lights? 2-4"
What is your watering frequency and source of water? Tap
What, how much and when was it fed? NPK? Nothing
What is the medium/runoff pH and PPM if in hydro? Should all be 7, water i feed with is 7.
What are the temps and humidity in the room? 76 degrees and 50% humid
What size pots? 4gal
Any bugs? NO

Lower the ph of your water to say... 6. And you can start feeding nutrients as soon as they get a few sets of leaves go half strength at most.

That dirt feeds for upto 9 months. To me thats scary, plus it retains the water for a long period. Curious what your ph runoff is with a soil like this

you sure, ive heard from everyone that 6000 lumens is fine for a vegging plant. not the best but defiantly more then enough.
Sounds like you need to read up on cfls, all lumens are not created equal. You should probably have 5 of those 42's on it by now. Pictures????

Ive read tons on cfls. Pictures are posted with the main topic.
Both bulbs are nicely fitted in 1 reflector 2 inches off the plants. plant is LST 4 inches high from dirt. the lights are fine. grow space is all lined with panda film and space expands as the plant grows for maximum reflection.

Sorry pictures didn't load before. If you say the lights are fine....... Suit yourself, if you've read a ton on cfl's you'd know that you need more than 84 watts a plant, more like as many as space and heat allow. I'm not trying to be a dick, i started four plants with 546actual watts of cfl, then they went to 400mh now almost done flowering under 1khps, i knownthe capabilities of cfls and 84watts is not enough for a month old plant, and certainly not enough to flower said plant.
