I originally had the plant outside but the sun drained it's water and dehydrated it. I thought it was dead. I gave it plenty of water and the next day it was fine except some leaves did not recover from the trauma.

Next day I take it to planted it higher on the hill. Next day half the leaves were chewed and dead, and it had friends.. Trillions of mites. I shit myself and then took it into a cabinet after I cleaned it off. they were not spider mites just dirt mites I think..

BTW: All the re-planting made it suffer immense root trauma, it is still alive though which amazes me. It lost one of its biggest forked roots.

Anyway last pic is its current status.

It's still in recovery and it will stay a cabinet plant from now on.

Should I add a second lamp? I have two. And what is teh best way to water them? Every other day right? and about 1/4 of a cup of water?

And the plants don't sleep right? leave constant light 24/7 ?

If you can add the second light without and heat issues then by all means do it....Also the best way to know if you need to water is to simply put your finger in the soil to feel if it's wet or not. Also give the plant enough water so as you get a good runoff coming from the pot. With the temps and the size of my pot in my grow I usually water every three days or so. Also you never want to keep the soil ALWAYS wet, you do want it to dry a good bit but not completely...Also I'd change the lighting schedule to 18/6 not 24/0 most people won't even recommend doing it unless it's still in the seedling stage! Then they will go to 20/4 then 18/6 then eventually 12/12 to induce flowering.

Yup... what Italiano and LitUp said...

Don't cut any leaves!!! Just leave them, they will fall off by themselves when the plant is done using them and no longer needs them.

Let her dry out, should be fine...unless you just topped a seedling! You should let the plant get to 5 nodes before you start messing with it. Hopefully things turn out ok... Keep the area well ventilated...

P.S. feel free to start you own thread if you have questions that you cannot find any answers to, you will get more replies that way :thumbsup:

Yeah start your own thread and do some studying on topping. Cause I guarantee that if you looked anything at up about topping, you would have known not to top a 7 day old seedling.

I just don't get how some people don't get it. Ya get it?

I just switched to the 18/6 light schedule. How old do the plants normally get when their smell is significantly noticable? Once the smell is strong, it could be a problem. What do you guys have as solutions to conceal the smell?

From what I was told you want to avoid any type of soil with time release fertilizers in it, as you will not know how much and when to feed your plants. I used MG Garden Soil my last grow and loved it in my opinion. I tried using the potting mix but it ended up being a bit harsh for my ladies.
