Possibly! FFOF is on the rich side, so it is not conceivable to me that such a small plant will have made a real dent on the soil's stores of nutrient. It has the look of a plant that was just surviving under an incandescent. I am shocked and confused that goodhierba says sunlight. Something is very wrong here, and I do not know what, and tossing nutes at it might kill it outright. I freely admit I am stumped.
Is it possible that this is not fresh Fox Farm OF? cn
even if it is 2 months old?
i think it has used all them up over that amount of time

OK this makes more sense.
1) Just water. No nutes! The OF has nutrient built in. Your plant should start showing improvement in a day or two. If it does not, I don't think there is much you can do.
Use good quality water. Do you know your water's quality?
Do not over-or underwater. I would have a second pot of the same size with just dry soil in it. Use that as a weight reference to avoid keeping the roots soaked ... that's as bad as letting it die of thirst.
And ease it into more light as time goes on. If it's had direct sunlight, stay that course. if it hasn't ... don't put it into full sun for more than an hour a day at first, and then more and more. That plant just has no margin for shock right now. cn
like pulling teeth lol to get the info lol

Ive had it for about 4 weeks. Some one told that I should change the soil and recommended fox farm. It is fresh I bought it 2 days ago when I changed the soil.

i have a plant that is over a month old with this same problem but i know exactly what happened to mine. while in the rockwool cube my dog knocked it over while i was at work and the cube dried out badly in a matter of hours. the roots mostly all dies and therefore stunted its growth perminately. the leaves are discolored exactly like this ones and growth is also just as stunted. give us some insight on this plants history. i think this is your problem. its forceing all its energy on trying to recover its roots but just cant do it. if this is the case you could foliar feed but to do this you would need optimal temperature conditions of between 72 and 75 degrees so that the stomata (pores of the leafs) could intake the nutrients provided but it would never grow like if it were uptaking nutrients the natural way. this is only IF the roots have been bafdly damaged by excessively drying out or broken off. Also if these conditions arent met and temps are above 77 degrees or more its not worth trying because at these temperatures stomata closes up so that the hydration in the leafs keeps the plant cool.

Goodhierba, you have the bad luck of having a "special needs" plant for your first grow. Do you have much experience with houseplants? If not, i recommend you spend much time Googling how to grow Cannabis. The only thing that'll save your plant now is unfailing attention of the right kind. Usually that means experience. But you can stack the deck in your favor by reading, reading and reading!
I will try to answer any question you have, and my PM inbox is open to you.
I wish you that special combo of good luck and good decisions.
Do you know the quality of your water? Much Nevada water is hard nad rather salty. This could be a part of the problem! Please do not use water from a softener! Use RO, distilled or store "spring" water only for now. cn

soil is way hot i what it looks like to me. massive stunting and nute lockout you need to flush or just water with plain water. or hell even try a transfer.

Bottled ... good. Filtered can mean who knows what. If you run hard water through an ion-exchange water softener, you'll end up with toxic levels of sodium. That could be a part of what we're seeing ... sodium will lock out potassium, which can explain the necrosis shown in your pics on the other thread. If indeed you're using sodium-tainted water. cn

Goodhierba just replanted that from (???) into FFOF. The (???) appears to have been devoid of life-sustaining nutrient. Or badly locked out from hardness. I don't know. cn
