Its been about 2 weeks since I planted my first marijuana plants!! Yesterday they looked perfect healthy and green, but when I woke up this morning my friends Space monkey plant was droopingnand my mid plant was curling up. I don't know what to do, I don't think I overwatered and I don't use fertilizers again I'm a first timer . I'm using 2 cfl 5000k bulbs and my closet has a heater which keeps it at 70-90, I also put a pot of water on the floor to raise humidity, can anyone help I was going to transfer them today .

Poor ventilation and too much heat

Yes, looks like heat stress. Is your heater pointed at them? You never want direct heat hitting them so you may need to change around your set up to avoid this in future. Also, your stretching shows they need more light.

Thx you all for the advice, I cut the heat down and moved my heater closer to the back of my closet. Also can you tell me what kind/how many more lights I need, and can my plants recover?

For veg with CFL you want 6500K, and I believe the general rule of thumb for how much light is a minimum of 100 actual watts for 1 plant, and 50 more watts per additional plant. This is a minimum though, more would certainly help. And when you flower you will need some 2700K bulbs (I would go for a mixed spectrum, with a 2:1 ratio of 2700K/6500K during flower)

EDIT: Lumens are more accurate than watts and I believe you want a minimum of about 10,000 lumens per square foot.

What is the temp in your room? I prefer 70 to 80 when lights are on and 60 to 70 when they are off.
