If you want it to stretch some just don't put the lights so close.
Also when you replanted how did your roots look? Where they root bound? White? Or could you not see any roots at all?

To mr it looks like it has been over watered and is locked out. I would do what the other poster suggested and you did and that was to repot it. Did you use any vermiculite, perlite? They will help you out in over watering situations. I like to use them on young plants as it gets oxygen to the roots and let's them dry out better to further promote an expanding root system.

I think your plant is stunted that's for sure but I wouldn't necessarily throw it away unless you have others to take it's place. For it to be 4-5 weeks old it should be 3x larger. I got some that are way bigger than yours planted from seed around a month ago but they are a sativa dominate hybrid that made. Mulanje x Critical Mass. These babies ain't fooling around!!!!!

Hi there! Your most likely correct about the over watering. And I didn't add any perlite cause no shops in town had any except miracle grow which has their nutrient in it and I'm not into that lol but it's really starting to take off now that I corrected the ph. I truly believe between overwatering and a possible nutrient lockout due to ph was the problem. Maybe , maybe not. But the roots looked pretty good. Deff not root bound though. But that's awesome to hear about your plants man!

Its most def nute lock out or pH. I also once had that happen. But it was gnats that caused it stunt. I threw that bitch out. Do see any of those buggers??

the leaves are still so droopy huh. did you weigh the bucket befor yuo planted/watered the first time? Or do you have a second one yuo can fill up. My plant looked pretty similar, and now i wait till its within 50 grams of empty weight(415 grams) or leaves are drooping. and only droop i get is when they need water ocasionally.

When i first moved them into the pot it was like watering every 6 days. Today the leaves were drooping after 3 days, so i guess teh roots are starting to fill out. Hope this helps

Actually it's getting due for a watering now so that's probably why they're getting droopy today. I was planning on watering tomorrow but it looks to be a male unfortunately.. I am going to continue to veg it to master the basics of growing while my other baby grows so I can try to not make as many mistakes. It's all a learning experience. Yesterday 85% of the leaves were sticking straight out and looked very healthy

Hey, even if it's male, it still can have a purpose. Collect the pollen from it when the flowers open up, store it in a film canister or something airtight.
Later when you get a good female plant flowering, choose a bud and innoculate it with the pollen. This way you get seeds for future grows (though maybe genetic material from a stunted plant may make bad seeds...).

Thats what I'd like to do but like you said, I hope the genetics from a stunted plant wouldn't hurt anything but it could actually be a good thing if it would keep a plant short since i do cabinet grows but of course I don't want future plants stunted. Not sure what to do yet. I'd like to keep it since this is my first grow and it would give me a chance to practice watering and feeding so that I have experience for future grows and also the white widow I'm currently growing and is also stunted from overwatering I believe.

You guys won't believe this shit... It's still under 24/0 light schedule and it's looking very healthy and growing and even... Flowering! A couple little nut sack pods opened up and released pollen! This thing is crazy. I'm definitely going to try to save and store some pollen until my white widow flowering and I can't pollinate a couple buds. I can't believe it's flowering after only roughly 35 days from seed. Here's pics!
