Background:

Was suffering from lack of Nitrogen.
Got some sufler- Nitrogen mix. Seems to be helping the color. but now she seems droopy
But i hardly water her.

first that pot is huge, so when ya water, the plant has to reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach for nutrients, so 2 things happen: it will focus on growing roots instead of ´soil up vegetation´ and it will struggle for nutes!

2nd, check ph, and then yea, add a little nutes.

and if you hardly water, perhaps drainage is low or heat is low. i try using about 50% mix of soil to vermiculite/perlite to ensure excellent drainage. i also keep temps at 75-80. any less and i turn on the space heater for them

Thats no spring chicken. Get some decent lighting too small for its age.

I can add 2X 40w cfl. but i thought they needed that much? they arent very old. And they got slowed down cause the Nitrogen issue i had like 4 days ago Right now im using 3X 20W white bulbs

A plant that young and in miracle grow would not have a N def, you prob stressed her with sufler which would account for slow growth. repot into a smaller pot and flush her good and proper, bury that stem. Apart from stretch she looks fine to me. More light.

Well her sister looks Great. the two turned 90% yellow. But i got lucky and saved them. so if it wasnt Nitrogen then what? cause it made them start growing again and green. i just added my 2X 40w bulbs
EDIT: i just recently orderd Fox Farm Grow big nutes, FF ocean soil and ph up/down. current ph is 7.2
