my Plant Stopped/Slowed Down not seeing changes..

I Planted My Seed In The Soil Once The Seed Popped on Feb. 16th. i saw the best results in the following week or two. than it got stressed...i fixed the over water issue..and it goot stressed..now its not as stressed..but im seeing small results...back than it was magnificent results..now its like..its like hard to tell the difference...and i just changed my set up.

this is my new set up its currently in as of yesterday.



sorry for the blur..but this is my best pic..its been at this state for a while...the only thing i noticed was the to leaves grow to the side (bigger) and theres to leaves growing inside but its small changes? the first 2 leaves grew up quick..now its slower?


this was before when my plant was getting good timing..



at this pic above the stem was green..and on the first two you can see it got red..im doing my best at getting it green...and its turning into an orange brownish color? is that good?

thanks guys! One Lovee!

I'm guessing it's the bark content in the soil. There are allot of other factors there that are not perfect but the bark content in the soil seems to be an issue. Look it up.

Stunted growth could be due to many things, but no one will be able to help accurately with out more info lighting,light schedule,temps, ph, and so on give me as much info as possible and ill try my best but the light in the second picture I know for a fact puts off a lot of heat I used to have them in my recessed lights in my house and they are not even usable for growing so if I were you I would change to another light.

well the first pic posted is my current set up..im just using a CFL.

lighting schedule is from 6:45-7:00AM to 10:30ish PM. thats about 18 hours..so i got the 18/6 going.

lighting is a 23W CFL 1600Lumens.

and it is stressed..i dropped my plant and managed to recover with out causing severe damage to roots or the plant itself..but seems to have been good after..its still growing..just really SLOW or i noticed little differences..but little to where its not at the speed it should be..

Oh ok well that drop definitely could of cause the stress it usually takes minimum of a week to recover and begin to increase the growth rate to normal. For the lighting I personally like my cfls sideways it allows more light to get to the plant also you should take that seedling put it into its final pot and put.it into the ground so that the soil is like.1/2 inch from the two small lower round leaves it will fix the stretching problem and try to keep the cfl about 1 inch away maybe just a little more.

well i cant put it in the ground..but i will consider repotting and raising the soil to fix the stretch issue and thee light is about 2-3inches at the moment. and as far as that goes thanks man..really appreciate your time and help..anything else you can advise me with?

Yeah no problem if you have any questions just send me a pm or post in my profile I check almost every day and ill help with any problem I can. Other than the stretch I see no problems how do you plan to grow her indoor/outdoor if its indoor do you have any other lights?

i plan to get a Y Socket..and another user recommended me these CFL's so ill put these on the socket and with it i should be able to have light hitting the sides..other than that..as it grows ill add in things such as a carbon filter and all that...so far its all organic..i dont have fertilizer just soil and water...apart from the 2 i mentioned im also going to throw in a fan in there for ventilation to get the stem bigger... at the moment im using my window..so whatever wind hits it....window is next to my closet.
