U may need a different grow medium im not sure Perlite has much nutrition if any at all that will help your plant i think u should take and very gently take and trans plant that into some good fox farm soil in that same pot and you will see alot better results... im not a big fan of 100% Perlite.. works good for keepn roots healthy for a lil on my clones but not for a seed needs jus a lil more than the Perlite can offer.. and if you are gona do the transplant do it soon befor to much more root zone is created and it may stress it to much but if you carefull u can do it.... seeing as u dont wana have to throw it away lol it will help u alot down the road too.....
