Hello people of RIU.First of all i want to apologize for my bad english.It is not my native language so i will try not to make any mistakes.
Ok so this is my first attempt of growing and i am doing it stealthy in my closet.The plant is 2 weeks old but until the last day it is leaning back for a reason.also the big leaves are starting to get a bit yellow.should i feed them with phosphorus?
Additional information and pics:
Lights:3x20W Cfl white spectrum and 1x20W cfl light blue
Water:a bit everyday just to moist the soil and a bit on the leaves using a sprayer
Soil:good soil bought from plant shop
pot:8L
Fan: open for 3-5 hours per day
due to the limited space and because i should keep it as much stealthy as i can, i cant put any fan or hps lamps in there so i am sticking with what i have. Advice is more than welcome
Peace:joint:

Well it looks decent, few things is to not water so much and stop spraying the leaves, you want it to focus on it's root development. Once a week if you absolutely must. And if its leaning like that, just get a long stick and stick it in the ground then use a bread bag twisty tie or just a peice of string and tie it to the stick or something thats rigid. Don't tie it tight, just enough to prop it up.

just depends man, If you used potting soil, it has Fert in the soil already, usually want to just water for 2 weeks and let it use the fert from the soil. Unfortunately theres no definitive "Use nutrients here and here" rule. Just gotta read yer plant. I personally didnt use nutes until 6 weeks into my grow.

Thanks for the fast responses.So i will keep it the way you say.just lights 24/0 ,water once a week and see how it goes for the first 5 weeks.I will be very happy if this baby produce somewhere near 20g with the current setup. Unfortunately in 4 months i have to move on a differnt place so i hope until then it will be ready to harvest

Should be fine, but you also miss understood, you want to check yer soil when you go to water, if its moist a few inches down, then leave it be, wait til its dry to water. That could be every day or even every 4 days. Just depends on your conditions. Plus, yer little lady isn't going to use too much water, so don't over do it when you do end up watering.
