help please

this is my first grow and i know i've done alot wrong already, but have a plant that is about 4 months old, about 18" tall and has tons of little white and orange hairs but the leaves all only have three leaves none have 5, 7, or 9 leaves and it seems its stopped growing also leaves feel a little crisp not leafy and the leaves are all green some leaves stems do have purple stripe in them?? sorry no pics to show i'm somewhat computer illiterate. thanks in advance this place has been great!!!

You need to post more info like are you feeding? I assume your using soil so how big is your pot? Are there any temp problems? Without pics you need details to help figure it out so tell us what you got setup.

have you been giving it fertiliser? try flushing it by pouring a lot of clean water through the soil you might have a salt build up from over feeding

All sure signs of to much nutrients! Too much food! (deep dark green leaves are the first sign of over feeding)

Flush your plant with PH 6.0 water make sure you use lots of water it won't harm your plant. When it comes time to water again use 10% of the recommended suggested feeding by the manufacture. After another week go to 30%, than 50%.

Peace

<P>First off thanks to all who have responded so quickly.The plant is in a one gallon pot. It was labeled as a lowryder 2 seed my wife had gotten a soil recipe somewhere off the internet cant remember exactly where. the soil is just from the garden center at lowes and she did mix in nutes but not sure the ratios because now we cant find the amounts she kept track of.&nbsp; sorry for seeming so "green" at this but truthfully i am(we are). so the ingredients that were mixed in were: blood meal, bone meal, bat guano, organic soil, organic worm castings, rock phosphate, epson salts, sweet lime and humic acid. the soil does seem to pack hard and i have tried to 'aeriate' but have been afraid to damage roots? it looks as though some roots are near the drainage holes of the pot. again, none of the leaves have ever gotten more than three leaves and some of the fan leaves only have one big leaf??? i have been on the 12/12 light cycle for about 4 weeks now and watering every two days and the last two waterings with a solution of water and bat guano about 1/4 strength with some misting of the leaves. i am using 4 2700k cfls. temps have been consistantly around 70 degrees not sure humidity but pretty low i believe. hopefully i didn't leave anything else out but i am going to try the flush with water only, how much water should be flushed through? one gallon? two? or more? thanks you all again!!

3 gallons.
