Direct the fans away from the plant..I usually like to have the fan pointed at a wall for indirect wind...also could prolly just give water for a little bit and make sure ur lettin the soil dry out pretty good inbetween waterings

This falls into the category of 'poor watering habits'. Young plants don't have deficiencies in soil typically, but bad watering, or using too large of containers for the stage you're in, can cause the plant to not uptake the right minerals, micro/macro nutrients.

CFL lighting also isn't going to demand too much growth from the plants, and subsequently, you aren't going to need to give it much. So staying on course with solid watering techniques is going to carry you far and keep the plants healthy with doing less.

so should i just use water for a few weeks? and im saving up to get an led light around 180w and im building a mylar tent to keep it in do you think lighting could really be the issue? i did have this plant outside for around a month and a half, its been pretty rainy and i went from 8oz cups to 16 oz and now i have this plant in about a gallon that i just transplanted it to about 5 days ago, and brought inside, i figured since it was so small id bring it inside and revert it back to veg

Compared to HID, I'm speaking of. CFLs will certainly get the job done, I'm just saying that a vigorous nutrient schedule isn't necessary, especially if you're growing an 8 week flowering time plant...one or two shots of general nutes...some calmag here and there, that's about it, if you keep your ph balanced, and the water your putting into your container ph balanced, you'll succeed.
